I was just watching the brilliant Spellbound doco on the enz DVD, and it got to the part where they screened part of the song True Colours being played live at the 1979 Nambassa concert. The band sounded amazing.

I was just wondering if this concert exists in it's entireity, and if so what are the chances of it one day being released on DVD/video and/or CD.

I'm surprised that part of this concert wasn't used in the live section of the DVD. I'm not complaining because the live stuff included is fab, but this was surely one of the bands best ever shows, if not the very best.

"True Colours" was the only Enz song to feature in the Nambassa movie, and only three tracks made it to the live LP. While rough mixes of a couple of extra songs do exist on cassette, I doubt that the original multi track tape has been kept - most probably the same story with the original film footage. (Hope i'm wrong, though.)

Which were the three songs? What is the LP called? Is this release currently avaliable on CD?

On a side note, I wonder why the Nambassa version of True Colours didn't make the live section of the DVD.
Nambasa Festival was called "Festival Music" and out on Stetson Label in NZ 2SLRP12. Frenzy/I see red/Bold as Brass... has a live Enz shot on the cover....(Tim and Nigel from memory).
Released as a double LP in 1979.

Same reason as most of the stuff, getting hold of master footage...that is in good (hell even average condition)....easy to say harder to do
hopefully TVNZ will come up with some good stuff on Holmes!!!
