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.
