Great live performance of If Not For You
; plus the unreleased Listen To The Falling Rain
, I was surprised to hear this song features the children's nursery rhyme
After performing Listen To The Falling Rain
Olivia is briefly interviewed by one of the hosts, Jimmy Hannan, who tells her to stop shaking like that!
, she is obviously nervous. The evening is on Olivia's 23rd birthday and she is embarrassed, hiding her face, when this is mentioned.
After performing If Not For You
Olivia is met on stage by Bert Newton and Sebastian Cabot. Olivia happily kisses Bert but is more reluctant to kiss Sebastian who she does not know well. This is all but a gag culminating with Olivia calling for Johnny Farnham to take her out for dinner rather than either Bert or Sebastian. This was the early 70s after all!
This was filmed at Dallas Brooks Hall, Melbourne in aid of the charity Freedom From Hunger. There is a part version available in colour which appears genuine (not merely colourised).
