Originally released as a bonus disc to pre-orders of Firecracker; re-released as Live at the Big Room in June 2005.
In Esteban's own words: It was a hot warm afternoon and I had driven for three days in an RV through floods and lthe like to get to Byron Bay for the Easter Festival. It was a magical 73 minute set in the big tent before Steve Earle.
Shane O'Mara contrived a wall of sound from one guitar and though I was scared to death, I hung on for the ride. Everything was darker and heavier than you thought. Let me state for the record that when we arrived at the end of the set we were both exhausted. The audience danced madly. They looked like listless pink flamingoes.
Hughesy's assessment: An edgy, more-or-less Greatest Hits set with Cummings and O'Meara rising to the occasion. Not everything works, but there's a lot that shines. Appealing.
