Thanks for all the music, nzoz. I'm curious, how complete do you consider your collection; is there something of which you're aware you lack that you'd like?

[nzoz1981]

@durashka123

absolutely!!! there are many holes in these channels that need to be filled with some Aussie band - known or obscure. I use what others have uploaded to build up playlists that accompany these channels, just for the sake of completion. However, it's never ever really complete.

@nzoz1981 whats the possibility of you having 'walls' live version from this performance in your archives?

[nzoz1981]

@cbmdg8551976 i got this clip from the VHS release of 'Great Southern Land' back in 1989. I've owned the tape for over 20 years.

[cbmdg8551976]

@nzoz1981 pretty good quality for a 20+ yr VHS tape. Wasn't the 'Walls' performance on that tape? I dig your year-to-year stuff going back to 60's and 70's. Its cool to see early "Down-Under" stuff that was never shown here in California. I do remember this clip from MTV back in its first month or so when they played cool vid's. I also recall 'Skin', 'Walls" and maybe "fatman" from this performance.

[nzoz1981]

@cbmdg8551976

That's cool... you've seen more of that performance than I ever did. The only clip from that concert I've seen in 'Walls'. I believe the gig was taped for Nightmoves back in '80/'81 and managed to find its way to MTV.

Thanx for the comment on my work... it's certainly been a tough five years of work and dedication to make these series of channels... I'm glad you've explored them!

[nzoz1981]

@cbmdg8551976 i don't have the live version of 'walls'... sorry

[bjmob66]

In fact, When i was a DJ at the Sandown Park Hotel, i remember a time when Pseudo Echo had to borrow 20 bucks of me to buy a Pizza..3 bands for $3 those were the days......

How nice to see Ice house on here they were the Flowers back in the 80's then they brought out an Ablum called Ice house and that is how they got their new name

[axelfoley1973]

been hearing this song for the last few weeks and for the life of me i couldn't find it till now. i didn't know who sang it or anything and to find out that one of australias' favourite bands performed it makes me feel a little sheepy. Rock On!

[gforce4all]

I love icehouse!!!

[TheFarkwit]

The best version of this song I've ever heard. Iva is awesome in this.

[urissister]

God, how do you find these things! BRILLIANT! I think I'll have to subscribe... be flattered!
