Finn only performed four shows with the band, two in Melbourne and two in Sydney. “We could have done more shows and made a lot of money,” Enz’s manager the time, Nathan Brenner, says. “But it was never about the money, it was always a labour of love.”

Tim Finn & The Escapade Band Live album ‘Live at The Venue St Kilda 1983’ is the 22nd release in the ARCA Desk Tape Series. The series was created by ARCA to raise funds to provide financial, health, counselling and well being services for roadies and crew in crisis.
