Taken from the Whispering Jack Live In Concert VHS but not remastered and released on the DVD. Down On The Border was a single by the Little River Band (featuring John Farnham) released in 1982. It reached #7 on the Australian Charts. It's from the LRB album The Net.
Not amazing quality because I got a $12 converter from eBay... did I overpay? Leave your comments! ;)
Down On The Border - Little River Band
I just got back from the border
And what I saw made me know for sure
We're out of order
I had a dream about New Orleans
At Jackson Square I heard their prayer
Down in New Orleans
On the run, there's a life for livin'
But the people there, they just don't care
Livin' their life like a millionaire
Down on the border
You never see me in old Iran
The women there don't know who I am
In old Iran
And I never will go to Singapore
The people there will cut your hair
In Singapore
On their streets there's a life of plenty
Oh but they'll never know about the freedom show
Their livin' in darkness years ago down on the border
They built a wall at the border
Not to keep us out
But to leave no doubt
They're out of order, hey
And all the people who are trapped within
Serve to show just how far we'll go
And how dumb we've been
At the top life looks so easy
But they'll never know what they'll never know
They're much too busy countin' all their dough
From the border

As an Victorian CFA fireman, during those terrible months l did 3 tours, one in NSW, GIPPSLAND and Snowymountains. The lost of people and homes and those poor animals has scared me as well as my fellow fire-fighters. Thank you for your help😊❤

Two LRB members in his band: David Hirschfelder on keys and Wayne Nelson on bass.

[@PassionJo777]

Really Kevin I did not know that David Hirschfelder is quite an extensive career in his music and films soundtracks Gosh to I am so proud of the sheer amount of talent that we have in this country💯🇦🇺 WEVE TOP QUALITY,VERY EXTENSIVE sooomuch talent in. Both of the arts movies music and sports we shall give the world a run for their money don’t we? Also did you know that Hirshfelder was in shine Playing the piano probably for most of it except for one the Rack 3!! That in itself is a very interesting story about three weeks before the German pianist they chosen to play this piece incredibly insanely hard piece ‘A piece for elephants” 😵as David Helfgott said(me myself I come from a very classical background my father being a professional musician in the orchestra Melbourne Symphony-I am a cellist and we have a family Orchestra and used to the country as children as a family Orchestra everybody loved it except us kids because it was such a good word I didn’t appreciate it one little bit then but now I realise how lucky I am! If you’re interested simply go to KZbin and check out “Joanne Philpot cello ‘ Anyway I digress - back to the story so this pianist they had chosen got sick and couldn’t play so they were in a frenzy frantically trying to find another replacement not too many around he can play that at no notice and it turned out my doctors son was the one who played that piece for the movie no practice no rehearsal! He had just won a recital and so he has obviously polished it right up but seriously he just performed go to the piano the conductor looked at him he nodded his head and that’s it I went for it! I’m assuming you are familiar with classical music if not check it out personally I don’t really like it but it’s an impossible piece so I appreciate it for that reason

[@PassionJo777]

PS who the hell is Wayne Nelson?I’m a little too young being born in 1969 so I only was around for Glenn sure and they were pretty much finishing up and John was going solo

[@geerterri]

@@PassionJo777 Wayne Nelson sang lead for LRB on "Night Owl".
