Not the same Murray Cook, though it would be a great story if it was!
 
Early shows worth chasing down:
 
4th April 1978 - a live radio broadcast from 2JJ in Sydney.  Contains some unreleased songs, which themselves contain many little riffs and snippets which later found their way into other songs.
 
13th April 1979 - Only a few songs from the show are around, but noteworthy for Pete's anti-disco ranting.
 
18th Feb 1980 - Stage Door Tavern in Sydney
 
19th June 1980 - Melbourne.  From a TV broadcast so good quality sound.  Still looking for a good quality video of this one!
 
There's a few, anyway.
 
How to get them? (And many more!)  - learn how to download Bit Torrent files, go to www.dimeadozen.com and get an account (can take a bit of patience but vacancies are continually created).  There have been a few Oils shows at www.yeeshkul.com as well (the site is mainly a Pink Floyd one, but there is a section for other bands).  The Oilslive collection and Anthoilogy DVD's are available there.
