Jimmy and The Boys live performance
Title:
Jimmy and The Boys live performance
NFSA ID
780658
Year
1978
This clip features rare live performance footage of Jimmy and the Boys.
Little is known about the performance but it was possibly filmed in a Sydney club or pub, given the band were regulars on the Sydney pub rock scene in the late 1970s.
In this clip, the band perform a version of the 1967 Bob Dylan song 'Crash on the Levee (Down in the Flood)'. Lead singer Ignatius Jones makes reference to a Bob Dylan concert that took place earlier that same night, which would suggest that this Jimmy and the Boys performance was filmed in March or April 1978, when Dylan toured Australia.
