Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs playing the Dawn Song live on Australian ABC TV's Hitscene, circa 1971. Worth watching the whole video. Its extremely rare.
I didn't know Thorpie had died in 2007. I am feeling very sad about this. He was great and had something rather unique when you compare him with artists in Australia in the 1960s. Edgey to say the least. RIP Thorpie.
I first heard this song when I was about 5 years old. It has haunted me ever since. Oh.. by the way it was on GTK not Hitscene and these boys didn't have pitch correctors back then. Thanks Billy and the Aztecs.

I've got this on a single 45RPM. 'Time to Live' is on the flip side. Love it.
Is that Bruce Howard on the piano?
Bloody brilliant! I can smell 1971 from here.
How brilliant how sad talent has gone
Love the music from that era.
