Questions about the 1978 Austrailian recordings/films
Ian:
Yes- the New Zealand show was filmed and aired on TV. Since nobody in New Zealand had a VCR in 1978 the TV studio had the only copy of the show. A fan happened to visit the TV station about 15 years ago and the tape was still there molding away- but no copy has ever surfaced to my knowledge

Hmmm.. do you know where the TV station is situated Ian? I may have to pay a visit to New Zealand ;)
Jay:
Is there anything known about the TV broadcast? Was it the full show? Was it supposed to be a "make up" show after the Austrailian disaster?

Jay - if you are reffering to the NZ TV show being some sort of "make up" after the Oz shows then no way. New Zealand and Australia are two seperate countries - the Kiwis couldn't have given a toss if the Boys screwed up the Aussie leg of the tour. FYI the Australia/New Zealand relationship is a bit like the USA/Canada relationaship (they all speak funny!!)
Besides the NZ part of the tour was before Australia.
Ian:
As has already been stated- BBs arrived in New Zealand by Feb 26 1978. They played on Feb 26 and 28. They were In Australia by Mar 3 and played shows in Brisbane, than Melbourne and Adelaide. Famous shows in Perth were March 14 and 15 1978. Tour ended with shows in Sydney on the 18th and 19th. The BBs then headed to Hawaii for 2 shows. Full lineup with all 5 original members was there
