I don’t have live updates right now, but here’s a concise snapshot of the latest info on Split Enz True Colours Live in Melbourne based on recent coverage.
- The True Colours anniversary material continues to attract interest, with multiple reissues and live recordings reviewed or discussed in fan and specialty press. These releases aim to capture the band’s Melbourne sessions and performances from that era.[2][3][7]
- A notable focus in recent years has been preserving the original live-in-studio energy of Armstrong Studio sessions in Melbourne, as producers and engineers emphasize restoring the band’s room sound for anniversary editions.[3][2]
- Public availability varies by format, with vinyl reissues in color variants and accompanying live tracks recurring in retailer catalogs and dedicated music stores, alongside occasional release-specific editorial features.[4][7][3]
- For visual/documentary context, there are period video items and IMDb entries noting a Melbourne live performance from 1980, which fans often cite when tracing the band’s live history around the True Colours era.[8][9]
If you’d like, I can search for the very latest press releases or retailer listings and pull precise dates, formats (vinyl colors, CD, remixes), and track lists for Melbourne-era releases. I can also compile a quick comparison of recent editions (40th anniversary mixes vs. earlier remasters) with links.
