At first, I thought it was the Huka falls but then I realized it was about a dam being built for the people and basically things had to die for the dam to be built.  At first, I thought the Clyde dame.  Kinda made me sad actually because that is what happens, sometimes something else has to die or give way to some new.  Using the fantail and wood pigeon in amongst the native bush by the newly to be built dam made its point visually as well as the lyrics.  However, as the song proceeded, I realized I was wrong and it was Manipouri dam, power station, which I have been to Manipouri but never to the power station.  I remember this song, but I never took the time to understand what it was about, or who the artist was until watching the video you posted.  Thanks for sharing Brian.  I have no idea who commissioned it, but it sounds like either the Greenies of some type of similar group OR the power station itself but I dont think so.     

Those lyrics! Awesome beamer!     

Interesting jazz version of F.M The Chain.  I enjoyed it but still prefer F.M`s original.     

Thanks Brian, for you doing this.  Though I am late to the party and have been MIA this month due to a family member in hospital and then passing away.   I am trying to catch up tonight all that I have missed on Chordie.  I hope you keep this up, it's been interesting and you have introduced me to some artists and songs I hadn't heard of before.  keep going, it interesting. 
Having said that, this is probably the only one so far that I don't like much.  Didn't like the style or much about it.     

wow, that was good, I hadn't heard of that song before.  I am realizing easybeat, you are miles ahead of me in the music industry with all these artists and their music.     

After all these years (36 years to be exact) living in Wellington, I have never heard that song before easybeat.  Cheers for sharing.     

Loved it! I am a fan.     

I am Sailing - Rod Stewart
She works hard for the money - Donna Summers

P.S.  I will try tonight to do something for this month, only 2 entries sadly.     

Jim, this shorter version is good and it's a great song      

Peatle, that was a clever way to write and perform a song.  You had the old man and the young man responding to the audience.  Very clever, well done      

Way to young
