Notes: Unbeknowst to the majority of fans George had stayed on in Sydney following his promotional duties with Derek Taylor.
He stayed in Sydney for a further two weeks enjoying the sunshine and going out with friends.
One friend was Jon Lord from the band "Deep Purple" who had recently reformed and were currently on a tour of Australia.
On December 13 Deep Purple gave a concert in Sydney and George was in attendance spending most of the show sitting
at the side of the stage dressed in a white suit reminiscant of how he looked at the Bangladesh concert.
To the shock of everyone when it came time for the band`s final encore they brought out a friend whom they introduced as
"Arnold Grove from Liverpool...New South Wales"! They then proceeded to jam on the old Little Richard rocker "Lucille".
At least two home movies exist of George`s amazing cameo.
The first known video was only 30 secs and very bad quality but more recently a much better quality video
(though shot from behind the stage) of the complete performance was uploaded to youtube and has been made available on bootleg DVD.
