about

The Zimmermen Live In Elsternwick September 1986 for Rock Arena

"Coming about six months after the release of our Rivers Of Corn album, the Elsternwick show featured a generous helping of songs from that album together with a smattering of material that would eventually be released on the next album, two years later. Although the band were all hardened road warriors, we had never played a TV concert before. I remember that the guitarists were freaked out at how softly they were being asked to play by the show’s producer. Nevertheless, turn down they did, and the overall drop in volume contributed to the unusual lightness of sound and clarity of the set. Sole cover: John Fogerty’s “Almost Saturday Night”.

"Two years later and the band that plays an afternoon show at St. Kilda Beach is a substantially different beast. Newly signed to Mushroom, and with a new rhythm section (our original drummer having relocated to Sydney - I know, I know...) we were in the middle of recording our second album with Lobby Loyde. No room for “Don’t Go To Sydney” or “ Ordinary Man” in this set as we concentrated on showcasing the new songs. This is as close to rocking out as the Z’men ever got! Sole cover: Gene Vincent’s “The Day The World Turned Blue”. - John Dowler
