For many years I've searched for a complete version of the Australia concert to no avail. Then I discovered on Demonoid two torrents that were just what I was looking for. One was a rip of the laserdisc release and the other a 2 DVD set of the original broadcast. I took these and the CD and reconstructed the show for this release. A lot of work went into this one. The original broadcast release was in mono, not the best fidelity, and had a whole lot of digital and analog errors. I cleaned the errors by manually second by second, EQd them to match as best I could, and spatialized them so they didn't stick out so badly. As far as the songs themselves I only used this version for the ones that didn't exist anywhere else, but I used it throughout the show to restore the dialogue between numbers. This is now the entire concert. Sources used are the CD "Live In Australia With The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra", The laserdisc release "Live In Australia", the "...To Be Continued" box set, and the original broadcast bootleg release. I'm not going to detail which parts I took from which masters, because I didn't write it down as I did it, and that would be very difficult to do in hindsight. The VHS sourced stuff is fairly easy to spot. As for the rest...well you figure it out :) I also included the single versions of two songs from the box set at the end of the set for the sake of completeness 01 Funeral For A Friend 02 One Horse Town 03 Rocket Man 04 The Bitch Is Back 05 Daniel 06 Song For Guy 07 Blue Eyes 08 I Guess That's Why The Call It The Blues 09 Bennie & The Jets 10 band introductions 11 Heartache All Over The World 12 Sad Songs (Say So Much) 13 This Town 14 I'm Still Standing 15 Sixty Years On 16 I Need You To Turn To 17 The Greatest Discovery 18 Tonight 19 Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word 20 The King Must Die 21 Cold As Christmas (In The Middle Of The Year) 22 Take Me To the Pilot 23 Carla Etude 24 Tiny Dancer 25 Have Mercy On The Criminal 26 thanking the crew 27 Slow Rivers 28 Madman Across The Water 29 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me 30 Candle In The Wind 31 Burn Down The Mission 32 Your Song 32 Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting 34 Candle In The Wind (single version) 35 Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me (single version)
