28th Feb -2nd March 1997.Botanic Park. Adelaide.
Recordings and set lists.
For most of the history of Womadelaide the good old Australian Broadcasting Corporation ( affectionately known as Auntie ) has documented the festival. However there have been lapses and rather strange turns in policy ( mostly due to budget cuts ) so there are gaps. Also, the ABC only ever set up recording facilities on stages 1-3 and some of the more interesting acts have appeared elsewhere. So its been left to tapers to fill the gaps here and there.
Now we at the archive do not condone the unofficial taping of shows , especially for commercial gain, but we are an historical archive so we believe that its part of our function to let people know what music has been preserved over the years by whatever means . We present this list in that spirit , we do not know where you can acquire these recordings , whether they be TV , FM, AM or audience recordings and we will not help anyone in their search to acquire them , so please don't waste your time asking as we won't reply- unless you have some official research project you want help with .

Midnight Oil
Midnight Oil Tremendously loud show, I was up the back by the soundboard and you could still hardly hear people speak, god knows how loud it was down the front . Garrett did say that the older folks who were lurking in the trees should not be afraid to come down closer. Poor advice, a friend of mine had her eardrum burst at a Memorial Drive Oils show and now she's deaf in that ear ! Audience source 80 minutes. |
