Live at the Old Lion, Adelaide, 1982 is a live album by Australian rock band Midnight Oil.The album was released digitally on 2 December 2022[1] and physically on 13 May 2023.
Following its physical release, the album peaked at number 7 on the ARIA charts.
The recording is the 30th release of the Australian Road Crew Association's (ARCA) Desk Tape Series, a series created by ARCA to raise funds to provide financial, health, counselling and well-being services for roadies and crew in crisis.
Following the digital release, there was strong demand from fans for a CD version.
When I asked The Powderworkers (Midnight Oil fans) if they wanted this to happen, the reaction was as expected-instantaneous, wildly enthusiastic and supportive of, not only their band, but how the proceeds would be going to help roadies who have kept The Oils, and hundreds of other bands on the road over decades of gruelling touring.
