I think this was at the Westward Ho Tavern, Kelston, Auckland. I was a young newly married woman sitting at the back, mesmerised by the Prince....Thank you for this everlasting memories of the legendary Prince!!!
Gorgeous waiata. I remember watching this on tv with my family when I was 6 years old. This song is as beautiful today as it was back then and has a special place in my heart. This song seems to weave itself into your soul and I can never listen to it without shedding a few tears. R.I.P Mr Tui Teka.
I am writing this message from a hotel in The Anzac National Park. It has been a very emotional few days and these songs are a lovely way to end our stay here. I think the wairua of our brave Maori and Pakeha soldiers loved these songs tonight as I played them. Tears have flowed.....rest in peace to the NZ soldiers who are buried here and of course to the wonderful Prince and his Princess :).
First time ive listened to this song since my mum passed away.. that was 5 years ago now... Thankyou for posting with footage... it means alot.. Ma te atua hei manaaki hei tiaki ...

This recording was made as part of a one-hour television special broadcast on TV-2 some weeks later. The audio was post-mixed from 16-track masters recorded on-site. The location was the TV One Theatre, a ground floor production theatre in the original Manchester Unity building on the corner of Hobson and Victoria streets, Auckland. The site is now the location of TVNZ's Network New Centre, opened in the early 1990s. Although recorded in TV1's facility, the production and others made there during the mid-80s (Ricky May, The Yandells Special, Vicky, Jane and Maggie etc) were actually made under the auspices of South Pacific TV/TV-2's entertainment department, music dept, technical crews, session musicians and musical direction.
