The concert took place at the Festival Hall in Melbourne (cf. this). The Sydney Morning Herald's daily tv guide of 15 January 1967 announced the second part of the program program as:
"CALTEX PRESENTS The Genius of Ray Charles Recorded live from Melbourne's Festival Hall."
- I Can't Stop Loving You
- You Made Me Love You
- You Don't Know Me
- Hit The Road Jack
- Shake
- Georgia On My Mind
- Sister Mary [= Eleanor Rigby?]
- I Don't Need No Doctor
- How Deep Is The Ocean (How High Is The Sky)
- Going Out Of My Head (?)
- Something Deep Inside [= Something Inside Me?]
From the sources below, we know that at least one more song on the setlist of the second program was:
- I've Got A Woman
In that same year, but without precise date, they also list versions of Yesterday and You Are My Sunshine, which could be originating from the Melbourne show.
The Australian Film & Sound Archive's database (in mother file No. 138035) offers a number of entries related to the 1967 concert(s). What I grab from it, the archive keeps the following items:
- The Ray Charles Show/ The Genius Of Ray Charles, episode 1 (Title No: 8796). Production date: 18 August 1967. "Television special of a live concert in 1967 of Ray Charles accompanied by a big band at an unidentified auditorium.."
