He's been performing his songs of protest against social injustice for more than forty years and his iconic song "Alice's Restaurant" from 1967 is still included in his concerts. Music Deli recorded his Melbourne performance in May, and half of that concert is played in this program.
Recorded in March this year, a first for The Necks and for Music Deli. Watch the full concert.
