The Divinyls – Pleasure And Pain – Live 1993
Few Aussie Rock Bands defined the era better than the Divinyls , fewer still did it with a lead singer who was a woman, and a very assertive and menacing one at that, who had such stage presence that she demanded your attention. With a reputation for being sultry and unpredictable on stage, but never less than intriguing … There is no denying the Divinyls’ place in Australia’s Rock and Roll history … They were a hard rockin’ outfit that tasted local and moderate international success … They were controversial , they had catchy songs, and Chrissie Amphlett is still the most unique and as it has turned out the most versatile female vocalist this country has produced … Recorded in July 1993 in Queensland’s notorious Boggo Road prison, this scorching live show was part of a triple bill with Rose Tattoo and Billy Thorpe and his Aztecs sees Chrissie Amphlett and the band deliver blistering renditions of all their hits.
