The featured concerts are "Oils on the Water" (from 1985) and "Saturday Night at the Capitol" (1982).

"Oils on the Water"

"Oils on the Water" was staged on January 13, 1985 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Triple J, Australia's publicly owned youth radio network. This concert was performed on Sydney's Goat Island for a small audience of competition winners, and was simulcast on ABC-TV and Triple J.
