1972 / Documentary / Australian Commonwealth Film Unit / colour film / 11 mins

Director: Peter Weir

Producer: Malcolm Otton



One a series of films made by Peter Weir while he was a staff writer-director at the CFU. This film is No. 43 in the continuing series Australian Colour Diary, which began in the early 60s. This is a particularly important document of the Melbourne music scene of the time, presenting a sample of three trends in early 70s Australian pop music -- the theatrical rock of Wendy Saddington & Teardrop; the psych-vaudeville jug music of The Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band and the progressive rock of Indelible Murtceps / Spectrum. All three performances were filmed in concert at theTF Much Ballroom in Melbourne.
