Latest News About Split Enz - True Colours Live In Melbourne

I don’t have live updates in front of me right now, but here’s the latest context I can share about Split Enz – True Colours Live in Melbourne based on available material up to 2024-2025.

• True Colours 40th anniversary activity has included multiple reissues (vinyl, CD) with new mixes remastered from archival tapes, primarily centered on the Melbourne/AAV sessions and Eddie Rayner’s remixes. This underpins several live and archival releases tied to Melbourne-era sessions, though a specific “True Colours Live in Melbourne” concert release or performance typically references the broader True Colours reissue program rather than a distinct, standalone Melbourne live recording from recent years. This is reflected in multiple announcements and formats around 2020–2025.[2][3][9]

• Publicly documented Melbourne recording context for True Colours notes the original sessions occurred at Armstrong Studio and AAV Studios in Melbourne in late 1979, with producer Dave Tickle in the room during the initial sessions, which informs subsequent remix work and live-leaning presentation in reissues.[1][3][8]

• There have been related tributes and live-album discussions around splits of the band’s material for anniversary projects, including collaborations and reinterpretations by various artists, which often circulate under the broader umbrella of True Colours anniversary material rather than a single Melbourne concert release. The most concrete recent activity appears to be reissues and remix projects rather than a new, official “Live in Melbourne” album release.[5][9]

If you’d like, I can:

• narrow to specific releases with Melbourne connection (e.g., 40th-anniversary editions that reference Melbourne sessions),
• look for a recent official announcement or streaming release that might name a Melbourne live performance explicitly,
• or compile a short, bullet-point timeline of Melbourne-related True Colours material with exact formats and release dates.

Would you like me to focus on identifying any explicit Melbourne-live releases or just summarize the Melbourne connection to the True Colours project?
