The following Powderworks compilation apparently has Wedding Cake Island from the Capitol but I suspect it is incorrect as it says 1983 (this is also where I got the idea that they performed Sweet Georgia Brown at the Capitol).

Also for those who are interested the demo of Ghost is currently on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evdiIbq718s.

23. Is It Now?
24. Powderworks
25. Used & Abused
 
I have all these tracks from various places, apart from Wedding Cake Island.
 
The FTP you refer to is possibly the one I used to run, but you're right, it's been out of action for several years now.
 
The best place for finding some live Oils these days is www.dimeadozen.org.  You won't find the Capitol Theatre stuff on there, however, as they have a very strict policy of not allowing anything that has been commercially released in any form.

Hi everyone. Long time Powderworker very rare contributor.

After many years of neglect I have finally found the time to sort through/develop my (currently very small) live Oils collection.

Anyway it turns out that my copy of the Oils live on MTV has a faulty Drums of Heaven. I was wondering if anyone might be able to supply me with a replacement copy or point me to where I might be able to download one?


I am also trying to put together the definitive Capitol Theatre concert and although I am currently short a number of songs but one that I am not sure about is Sweet Georgia Brown. Was this played at the Capitol or was it at the Sydney Entertainment Theatre a year later? If it was from the Capitol gig and someone could provide a copy I would be greatly appreciative.


There used to be an ftp site where a lot of very rare Oils was readily available but it doesn't seem to be working now a days.


Cheers


James
