déjà vu all over again - Bill was in Sydney on a personal visit in 1993 and played this unpublicised afternoon show at this obscure (for a gig) venue, today he was in Melbourne on a personal visit and played the below unpublicised afternoon show at this obscure (for me) venue, these are the only times he's ever played in Australia.
