Historic live recordings from Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs Australian in 1994 have been released for the first time.
Aztecs drummer Gil Matthews has released ‘Lock Up Your Mothers Live’ on his own Aztec Records label.
The two-disc set features two concerts, the first from Seagulls at Tweed Heads and the second from Selinas at Coogee Bay, both from December 1994.
Matthews has digitally remastered the audio from both shows. The package includes a 24-page booklet by Ian MacFarlane.
Highlights of ‘Lock Up Your Mothers Live’ are a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s ‘World Turning’ (Thorpe had the band The Zoo with Mick Fleetwood), Stevie Ray Vaughan’s ‘The Sky Is Crying’ and an Aztecs version of Warren Morgan’s ‘Captain Straightman’.
