Split Enz "True Colours 40th Anniversary Edition" - Hi Fi Way
Looking back at my teenage years in the 80s and early 90s, bands and music...
hifiway.liveI don’t have live updates in front of me right now, but here’s what’s generally known about Split Enz’s True Colours live material, and how to find the latest Melbourne performance news.
-
True Colours live material has periodically resurfaced in various formats around the album’s 40th anniversary, including remixed studio editions and archival live tracks from Australian tours. For the Melbourne context, releases and press often frame Melbourne as a key venue in the band’s early Australia/New Zealand run. If you’re after specific Melbourne performances, look for mentions of Armstrong Studio-era sessions and Melbourne show recordings tied to True Colours promotions. [General context: True Colours 40th anniversary remixes and archival releases have been highlighted in multiple sources over 2020–2025.]

To obtain the latest news, check these sources:
- Official Split Enz or Tim/Neil Finn social channels for any Melbourne show announcements, archival releases, or festival appearances.
- Major music press and Australian/New Zealand outlets that routinely cover classic rock reissues and live footage (e.g., Rolling Stone Australia, NZ Musician, Noise11, The Music Network).
- Publisher/retailer pages for new Melbourne-related True Colours editions or live DVDs/stream releases.
Illustrative example of what you might find:
- A 2020s reissue might feature a Melbourne live set from 1980 packaged with the True Colours 40th anniversary re-mix campaign, sometimes including bonus live tracks from Australian tours.
- Modern streaming or physical releases could include a live Melbourne performance as a bonus or in a deluxe edition.
