But Roberto, the recording was made at the time of his January 2008 Sydney concerts.

Steve,

As I recall there were a couple of minor changes to the playlist when Burt returned to Australia in Jan/Feb this year. 'Where Did it Go' was dropped and I'm fairly certain 'Go Ask Shakespeare' was not performed either. The new instrumental 'For the Children' was played immediately following 'Who'll Speak for Love'.

Burt also performed a medley of his early hits featuring 'Magic Moments', 'The Story of My Life', 'Tower of Strength' and 'The Blob'.

The rest of the set was the same as Roberto's list.

Martyn.

Who sings the vocal ( if any ) on God Give Me Strength?

Thanks!

QVC appearance oct 7 to promote album

Why is this a CD and not a DVD? (Rhetorical question, of course.) But, wouldn't it be nice to have a DVD of this performance so that we can not only hear it but see it?

Enormous,
Absolutely, wouldn't it be wonderful to not only hear, but see the "Master" in action !!!
One day perhap's................one day...

"blue"
PS
I've just been watching Burt's 1977 Edmonton concert .......FANTASTIC !!!!

I'm shocked that the new CD will not include "For The Children"; for me, a new Burt composition would have been the major selling point! This is too bad, since I'm not sure via which other project Burt will release it...
