1/5th of the audience stayed.. clustered at the front of the theater and cheered an even drunker John loudly. He played identically to the first time and the recording worked.
I was at that concert in Tasmania in 1980. John, very drunk..taken unawares by the strength of the local beer. The audience liked his music but his stage manner was terrible.. after the concert people were leaving but it was announced that something had gone wrong with the live recording and they had to do it again.. and begged people to stay and clap for a repeat performance.
Thank you. So fine to hear this height-of-his-mastery version again. This is pasted into Live In Tasmania with added applause, as if he played it there. The recording is taken from a studio album., however. Nevertheless... stunning!
if you what you're saying is true, then this performance has just gained extra god-like appeal
