Yes, I am very envious of those who have seen this footage (and obviously experienced the exhibition direct).  Incidentally, it has been great of those of you to share vids and pics to us not in Australia and able to get to the exhibition.

Ah, Tanelorn.  I tried all sorts of angles to track down who may have had some of this footage.  There were always rumors, but nothing ever surfaced.  Some video pops up on from the Oils on that b-vers Sometimes clip, but no one knows who actually has the rest.  Someone seemed to advise they had an audio recording of it, but no one replied to the online chat where it was stated.  I went looking under all sorts of rocks.  I email’d people I found had been in the Aus music industry since that time. Some knew about the gig, some were even there.  I touched base with many who traded all sorts of weird and abstract live gigs from the time.  I even tracked down the organizer of the whole festival, and whilst he mentioned some camera crews being involved for the overall festival, he couldn’t recall the details of who recorded the Oils performance, or if this was even official.  No one seemed to have any footage.  My hunch always pointed back to masters Hirst and Moginie possessing something.  Had the foresight to record it, but it was on some shelf under an old guitar or other bunch of demo tapes, that had not seen light since the hallowed 80’s years.

Well, guess who has it after all!  Some of you have seen some of it’s rare value at the exhibition. And Jeremy has seen a lot more of what it potentially has to offer.

So, when someone gets the rest.  Give me a call, as I would put together a reasonable effort to obtain at least a viewing of that.

Be good!
