Where were YOU in '87?

Real time capsule here!

Richard Lowenstein directed this little gem that was to capture the essence of late eighties rock in Australia. In no way following in the footsteps of A HARD DAYS NIGHT this semi-doco followed merely the frenetic action of several of the top Oz bands of the moment.

Among them, Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel, the late Michael Hutchence and INXS, The Divinyls, Saints, I'm Talking and The Models. Perhaps not all the greatest bands that ever strode a stage, but good old fashioned Aussie value-for-money rockers.

Really worth a look if you ever get the chance.

Trivia

Even though there is about 4 3/4 hours of behind the scenes footage accessible in an item in the National Film & Sound Archive of Australia, little of this was included on the 30th Anniversary 2016 Australian Blu-Ray and two-disc DVD release, despite there being room, and despite the fact that the Australian music show 'Nightshift' played around an hour of it on air during the 1980s. The special features on this edition total to only about around half an hour.
