Russell Morris’ 2023 ‘The Real Thing Symphonic Concert’ will be available on DVD from this Friday 5 July 2024.
Russell Morris performed ‘The Real Thing Symphonic Concert’ exactly one year ago today on 4 July 2024 at Hamer Hall, Melbourne.
Russell performed with his own band and the 50 piece Southern Cross Symphony conducted by Peter Morris. The songs were arranged by David Hirschfelder.
‘The Real Thing Symphonic Concert’ covered all eras of Russell Morris’ career going back to his Somebody’s Image days (Hush, Its All Over Now Baby Blue), the massive hits of the 70s (Wings of An Eagle, Mr America) and songs from the blues trilogy and Jack Chrome project. There were also some rarities from the lesser-known albums ‘A Thousand Suns’ and ‘Jumpstart Diary’ and a previously unreleased cover of The Moody Blues classic ‘Nights In White Satin’.
Russell Morris ‘The Real Thing Symphonic Concert’ is available through Ambition.
