I do so agree. Saw him for at a "free" show in SF, many years ago. There were probably a 100, or so, in the audience. He played as if there were thousands! Have been following him since those heady days of The Saints, in the late 70's.
This album is absolutely top shelf - never fails to awaken me from malaise. This performance is pretty bloody special, right through to the closing instrumental (name escapes me) - astonishingly beautiful
I remember that gig. I think the great man's wife was helping sell merch. Family business?! 🤓 Such an innovative song-writer; one of the few truly ageless ones.
One of my fav Australian albums. An Idian musican introduced me to the album when I was working in Ayres rock.in the nineties. I was wondering how the band would do the music of Summerfield live (one of my go to mediation pieces of music) but its presented in a unique way. Thank you for uploading this.
It's interesting you say that.. at one point I was thinking this is what it might sound like if Vincent van Gogh picked up an electric guitar. A majestic, pulsating, fleshy, gritty, luminous, swirling, heavy, brilliant, strong, starry melancholic sound
@@annewelch2134 I like your van Gogh analogy very much. Ed’s music here is expressionistic and boldly painterly. Controlled but on the verge of losing control. Much like van Gogh’s thick swirls of shifting colour, paint, light and shade.
@@flaneur8469 yes, I think so too. I really feel as though he is painting with sound, and it's so tangible. There's an intense but shimmering effect that envelops, like a blanket of stars in a night where every shadow is full of colour
Most underrated? Pah! The man is a living national treasure!
love everything about Ed. The singing, the gitar playing and off course the songs themselves.
One of Australia's most underrated artists - the man plays with real heart and energy through his instrument of choice

a true Australian rock legend
A National treasure… And that was an amazing night ❤❤❤
one of the most underated musicians Australia has produced by far
great album
One of my favourite albums, played constantly for many years.
23:07 What an intro to the song 'Honey Steel's Gold'. Killer jam Ed
Absolutely sensational and underrated
Fuck me, this is beautiful. You can also hear the punk coming through from The Saints. The first real punk band.
Love the Saints, love Ed and love Chris!
OMG just fantastic work Ed! Great to see Jeff there too, always mesmerising. ❤
Great to hear you Ed. You are sounding brilliantly

Ed and his crew are masterful.
What a treat, brilliant!
Thanks!!

Great
Sort of a perpetual, heroic sadness in Ed’s music. If melancholy could be profound, this would be it.

A great performance. Pete Oxley on bass? Who’s drumming?
