For the record, this was recorded at the ABC Gore Hill Studios in mid-1975, one of three tracks recorded that morning for broadcast on GTK. The other tracks put down were Jeff's new single 'Mr James' and a Richard Clapton composition 'Prodigal Children'. The session was indeed recorded 'live', though the audience consisted of twenty or so ABC employees on their coffee break! I was the bass player. I last saw this clip on GTK over 40 years ago, in my then-girlfriend's living room on her parent's brand new colour TV, so it brought back a few memories to say the least. Thanks for uploading it.

Hi Russell

Sad about Jeff. A great talent, gone too soon.
Cheers

Priceless memory! Thanks for sharing @bruiser3601
Had the honour of playing with Jeff and opening for his shows in a band with John Jarratt
One of the best voices ever to come out of Australia.
I saw Jeff do this live... unforgettable...he rocked out in his wheelchair.... He gave it all as a 13 year old...I was blown away...!💥😎
Thanks for the video to one of Australia's best singers
One of THE great voices, not just Australian.
That voice, that power - he didn't need anyone to teach him how to fly!
RIP Jeff.
Lucky enough to have seen in the 80's at Bombay Rock in Brunswick, he was absolutely amazing, brilliant voice, outstanding performer, RIP ♥
RIP Jeff St. John, a great singer, songwriter and a gentleman.
What a voice! AWESOME!!!!
It'd be good if we got reminded of these amazing performances before a sad event. Thanks Jeff, for the music

Great persona, with a quest. How does one quest?
Oh. My. Lord. The end
I'm sure that's Jim Duke-Younge from Pirana on drums.
Though he did look a bit like Jim, Red Cloud's drummer was the late Neil 'Buddy' Bamford, formerly the drummer with Autumn.
