Notes

Radio Birdman

30 November 1977

Eureka Hotel, Geelong, Victoria, Australia

Audience recording of Radio Birdman's show at the Eureka Hotel, Geelong, on 30 November 1977. A very famous gig. Bootlegs of the show often feature on "Top 20 bootleg records". Most versions, however, only feature fourteen of the songs played* - this one has 22 plus the intro. Great recording, with audience members near the taper blown away by the intensity of the music. The sound is excellent.
