Dead Livers at the Mount Erica Hotel Prahran Friday February 20th 1981

Dead Livers
This photo shows the Dead Livers performing at the Mount Erica Hotel Prahran on Feb. 20th 1981. Left to right -- Bob Suffern, John Berto, Marty Atchison, Richard O'Keefe, Michael Schack, Rodger Delfos, with guest harmonica player Dave Hogan from the band Southern Lightning. The show was a double bill with Peter Caulton. A full house was ensured after Feyne Weaver published the following news item in the Melbourne Sun on Thursday 19th Feb. 1981 - "... Peter Caulton and the Dead Livers will play the Mt. Erica Hotel in Prahran tomorrow night, and there's a good chance that some members of Willie Nelson's band will be there and take part in a jam session".  As it turned out no members of Willie's band arrived, although Willie's merchandising manager, Bo Franks, was in attendance.


This photo shows White Cloud management representative Peter Bain-Hogg (in leather jacket) pointing towards the camera). In 2006 Dave Dawson wrote in Beat Magazine: "For trivia buffs expat Kiwi Peter Bain-Hogg - executive producer of SBS smash hit Rockwiz - sold [the Joint with Willie] cassette from the boot of a Fiat 124 at Royal Melbourne Showgrounds during Shotgun Willie's debut Australasian tour". Next to Peter Bain-Hogg (in the cowboy hat and red T-shirt) is Peter Caulton. In the background is Willie Nelson's merchandising manager, Bo Franks, wearing a cowboy hat and navy and pale blue cowboy shirt. In the foreground is a laughing Helen Margrie.
