The Living End slipped in their homage to ‘Prisoner’, Allan Caswell’s ‘From The Inside’ into their Legends on the Lawn setlist last weekend in Queensland.
Jimmy Barnes was back performing with the delayed Legends on the Lawn show now complete after it postponed for Jimmy’s back surgery earlier in the year.
The Living End were on before Jimmy and performed the iconic TV soap song in the set. The Living End’s version of the song was originally released on the b-side of the 1997 ‘Second Solution’ single.
The upcoming expanded 25th anniversary release of ‘The Living End’ album will include the Prisoner song.
The original ‘From The Inside’ was written by Allan Caswell and recorded by Lynne Hamilton as The Theme From Prisoner. The show first aired in Australia in February, 1979.
