    Recorded live at the Wellington Town Hall on October 23rd 2009, Little Bushman Live In Concert With the NZSO marks a collaboration of historic amplitude, an unforgettable experience that is now available to all.

    With orchestral arrangements by NZ composer "John Psathas", the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Hamish McKeich, became an orchestral force behind the already electrifying psychedelic blues quartet, Little Bushman.

    “…the orchestral arrangements are symphonic rather than merely lush string backings. Furiously beaten kettle drums going head to head with razor guitar chords; the keyboards and percussionist relentlessly driving it forward…a fearless adventure”

Where I got born The South Pacific A place called home The promised land The grass so green The green of Jade That's where my bed got made Now the people down here Know a lot about love Know a lot about love Called aroha yeah Some people in the world Care more about money Care more about money They love their money yeah That's where their beds got made That's where their beds got made Where you get born Karmic deliverance Your dice got rolled By a higher hand Better make your bed That's where you're living That's where your bed got made That's where your bed got made That's where your bed got made That's where your bed...

Jimi (Live) 12:01
Hemi was born a formidable man Played emotion like nobody can Words of wisdom that cut to the bone If your a Mother, Father, Sister, Brother And oh, beautiful soul oh, beautiful soul Nau te tahuna mai, te tahuna mai o te Wairua Ko koe te Mahita, te Kaiako, te Mahita! Words of wisdom, played emotion, fearless rhythm... E ki a koe e te Matua Ki a koe e te Whaea Tihei Mauriora! And oh, beautiful soul oh, beautiful soul

Something inside this vision, make me wanna move my feet and wave my hands up high above this holy ground Something inside so primal make me wanna open up my soul to this world we can do no harm No matter creed or culture, can't help yourself find your body got to moving with the drumming man A melody from heaven, caress your face We are one, a little push gonna take you there This thing I cannot touch This thing I cannot see Can make me feel so good This thing called music

Oh little bird, at your window pane Fall to the ground With your broken wings And your broken heart It's never you to blame Oh little bird, it's a different day When your morning sun Begins a shade of grey And you make your choice It' never you to blame, never you to blame It's never you to blame no, never you to blame Oh little bird got caught in life's little web he thought he'd be fine Everybody 'round him Did it all for him Now reality has crept up behind Has crept up behind And everybody 'round him Did it all for him Did it all for him Did it all for him

Oh little bird got caught in life's little web he thought he'd be fine And everybody 'round him did it all for him And now…

Hey, here's a thought for the CEO The one at the top, from the many down below You could be like Mr. Morgan He gave it all away A six figure savior with a six figure save, yeah The Pendulum swings the other way The other way don't you know Oh mother mercy, she cries in shame The greed and the apathy Lucy's in the background with a smile upon his face Sow them seeds, water with love Teach stupidity of war, of egos and more There's a hole in my roof and I got no bucket The Pendulum swings the other way The other way don't you know

War (Live) 03:35

To have a dream, a feather dream Of a fairer hand but no weaker man Cast no stone, you taught to comprehend The wisdom to let go of difference a candle on a stand Peaceful man, you're not forgotten Peaceful man, you're not forgotten Still we fight, turn blood to gold You're not forgotten No more so much eye for an eye And yesterday's ways are now a relic And the sun will rise and fall again Many times as it's done before we learn to listen Peaceful man, you're not forgotten Peaceful man, you're not forgotten Still we fight, turn blood to gold You're not forgotten
