Great Southern Land by Icehouse, Live @ Sound Relief in Sydney, Australia 2009

Great tune.. They still have a fan here in Arizona.. I love this great band from down under...

The beauty of a live performance, is it DOESN'T have to be exact as the recording in the studio.

I must admit, my first thoughts when I watched this live on the day was FAR OUT, IVA GOT OLD.. then I realised I got old WITH HIM lmao!

Who cares if it isn't the "radio" or "recorded" version? Just appreciate the talent guys..

Must hear this wonderful song every day, otherwise I miss something. Its really top.

There are two voices that are worth their weight in gold (perfect pitch, control and in tune no mater how low or high they choose to sing) and Iva you are one of them. The other one is also in his 50's and was big late 70's and 80's Just was a good time for music.

I hear you, it was a great time in AUS/NZ music.
My wife and I sat down recently to count all the good Aussie, NZ around from '75 to'90. We came up with 64 great bands. What is around today?

Great intro
Great melody in the verses
Crappy chorus - just lets the song down

The chorus doesn't sound right, I agree. I know the song is pretty famous, but it could have used a more uplifting chorus and then settled back into that wonderfully melodic verse.

Phantastic song, in combination with the Didgeridoo. I love it. What a great band. Top people.

Exactly. I feel homesick and I am not even from Australia! Maybe someday I will get there, would love to see Iva and the band live. Regret that I didnt do that back in the 80's.

How can you feel homesick when your not from Australia? lol
