They were swapping bars, then choruses and building on each other, It was as hot as any music I have heard, 1972 and I still remember. I forget the name of the venue but I do know it was across the road from the "New Sydney Hotel".

Dear Phil,
I too certainly remember that one.
(As you know I wuz also there.)
The tune: "Lover, Come Back to Me".
The date: about 28th December 1977.  
The venue: the Playhouse Theatre.
The New Sydney Hotel: a great watering hole. Remember?

I also agree that the shorter attempt at a repeat performance at the Public Concert was not the same.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
