John Farnham teamed up with crooner quartet Human Nature to debut the performance of their song "Every Time You Cry", which later became a #1 ARIA Singles Chart hit. Crowded House, who won the award for Highest Selling Album for their greatest hits collection Recurring Dream, reunited after a year of having broken up, to commemorate Paul Kelly's induction into the ARIA Hall of Fame by performing his song "Leaps and Bounds".
