Very sad, Bones Hillman, bassist par excellence, with the great voice and personality has died at only 62, from cancer. He looks so well in this show, only a year ago. RIP big Bonsey.
41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig. It was late 1979, a warm night, people pouring jugs of iced water on each other and Peter Garrett's head, steam coming from the Lead Singer's bald cranium. Their music and especially their lyrics have made THE OILS one of the most important Rock bands in history. This new song ' Gadigal Land' is an instant Oils Classic. Words cannot describe how much I love this track. Sydney Radio station MMM played it every hour yesterday, so credit to them for that. Before they played it the first time I was thinking " oh, I hope it's good " I loved it from the opening chords, the thumping Drums, the throbbing Bass and Garrett's vocals delivering every word that is punching the Colonial invaders in the face. Well done boys, this is excellent!
I am 65 and love this song. It is pure energy and awsome singing. I did three kicks in the air at my age. Out of the chair and rocking. Luv and best wishes.RIP. A great person and performer. Involved his fans in shows and everything to bring it to life. Thank You So Much.
Midnight oil? Paris? 2019? Wha?? I did not know Peter Garrett and co were still touring! Still as good as they were 30 years ago. These guys come from a golden era of Australian rock music. So many in the "pub rock" genre that many get forgotten. Good music and bands will forever live on.
Fantastic 🎉🎉 Midnight Oil es una banda impresionante con mensajes muy sociales y muy profundos. Les admiro mucho y les agradezco mucho por su música tan exquisita.
A distanza di così tanti anni, quanta energia. Veramente una canzone immortale. E sempre al top sono loro, i Midnight Oil. Peter Garrett soprattutto! Bravissimi!!!
I got way turned onto The Oils in the mid-1980s and a reason I moved to New Zealand and travelled all over outback Australia shortly after. The downunder music scene was very vibrant then. Sorry to hear of Bonsey's passing too soon.
Had no idea Peter Garrett left politics and worked with everyone in Midnight Oil again, thanks for sharing this and making me aware. Just learned that they did one new song called "Gadigal Land"
Parliaments the world over need this sort of elected representative. Driven by passion, historically aware, and no damn fool. I'd vote for him anytime!.
Saw them in the late 80's on their "Blue Sky Mining" tour and they were fantastic! Me and my best bud Jimbo had a fantastic time. Sadly he passed from a heart attack 10 years ago. Thank goodness I still have the memories of that night!!!
I saw them in the very early '80s before the stadiums. the sweat sprayed across the audience. Peter was a live wire then. Still doing well today. Bones - RIP

@@philipkraemer5767 Yes... it is not there any longer, but we both must have been there at the same time. Tracy Chapman fronted that night. 10,000 Maniacs were also playing there around that time...
@@philipkraemer5767 I saw them at the same time, perhaps a day before or after. I went to a record shop that was big at the time and got both Midnight Oil and 10,000 maniacs albums signed... also remember catching Neil Finn when he went solo that year. All fantastic shows. I am from Appleton and live now in Halden, Norway most of the year. 😎

Much too young : (
No... what a pity.
Always thought he was the coolest guy in a pretty cool band.
Oh, my God - I didn’t hear that! RIP.
Really sad :(

For a song that's 30 years old it still gets a good pop.
Some songs are like wine. The older, the better...

He has a voice that is like no other 🎉
Grupos buenos como de los años 80 y los 90 ya no existen👍Muy buena banda ayer hoy y siempre!!
JAMAS
This song still gets radio play every day in West Virginia on 107.7. Some of us hillbillies love some Aussie rock here still. \m/
I grew up there in your area. That's really cool about the radio time this gets. I believe it. People there are second to none. That's a fact.
@@josephpacetexas a fact's a FACT, correct? 😜
They’re still AWESOME!! Saw them in Denver 1989 and summer 1990! What great shows!!
Какая красрта!!! Супер песня!!!!!
His voice. Still so strong. And unique.
A distanza di così tanti anni, quanta energia. Veramente una canzone immortale. E sempre al top sono loro, i Midnight Oil. Peter Garrett soprattutto! Bravissimi!!!

Still together. Good for them.
So relevant since the beginning! One of my treasured records
This track is so relevant in the current state the world is in...We the People of the World!!
From Venezuela the best concert

INCREDIBLE live band! So great to see they're still touring. If I'm lucky, I'll see them again,
I love so much this song .... in 2021

Wow they still sound great!!!
Muy buena rola y excelente grupo de musicos❤😮😊🎉
hermoso simplemente hermoso esa banda es de lo mejor y garrett es hermoso como baila como siente la musica solo puedo decir hermoso
What good music they made. The years are not free... anyway MIDNIGHT OIL ALWAYS ON MY MIND.
Nice vid, love these detail records of the Artist‘s
Saw them in the late 80's on their "Blue Sky Mining" tour and they were fantastic! Me and my best bud Jimbo had a fantastic time. Sadly he passed from a heart attack 10 years ago. Thank goodness I still have the memories of that night!!!
I saw them at Glastonbury back in the day, and they were electric ... I just got goosebumps watching this 30 years later!
I saw them in the very early '80s before the stadiums. the sweat sprayed across the audience. Peter was a live wire then. Still doing well today. Bones - RIP
hell ya thes guys can still rock keep up the good work guys
Wow. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
I love this man's dance moves :D Epic! Immortal song :)
And he was a member of parliament here in Australia for many years! He should have busted out some moves in the house!
Epic, thankfully I am living in Australia today!!
LA Street Scene - So glad I got to see them in the 80s.
Que manera de sentir , excelente canción
Antes con el rock se llenaban estadios, ahora se llenan con regueton como hemos retrocedido en la buena música uu
Y’a Ves 😢
Such an underrated song..
True!!!
Indeed especially to the 2007+ generation

A classic among classics,,,, !!!
this sond is so good i love it
Was at the show in Madison Wisconsin, summer of 1987... Giant of a band!
I saw them around the same time in Madison in a bar/club that had an upstairs.
@@philipkraemer5767 Yes... it is not there any longer, but we both must have been there at the same time. Tracy Chapman fronted that night. 10,000 Maniacs were also playing there around that time...
@@DLMlive It was at Headliners on 4/28/1988 when I saw them. A band called House of Freaks were the openers.

I saw these guys in 86 . Powerful vocalist. Cool jammers
I saw them in 87 at the Tower theater in Philadelphia. House of Freaks opened for them. One of the best small theater shows I've ever seen.
Loved the song, loved the T-shirt. This band, these guys still have something to say.
You can pick any year live and it will be equally as bad ass as 84..well that’s how long I’ve been listening to this song🤷🏾♂️
But... This song came out in 1987 lol
@@isaiahmarker407 Do your research brudda
@@shawnperico7221 I did lol. "Beds Are Burning is a 1987 song by Australian rock band Midnight Oil"
RIP BH, a very fine bass player who played in a sensational band. Good luck to you all from Thailand 🇹🇭.
After 30 years still great
Love this song. Opening Riff of the song is such an attention getter!!!
Who is watching that during the COVID19 outbreaks
:)
:)
VIDA ETERNA AO MIDNIGHT OIL!!! VI NO RIO DE JANEIRO EM 2017!
Infelizmente um da banda já se foi o baixista
Peter Garret is my spirit animal!
... j'ai eu l'immense plaisr e les voir à Bercy en 1990.. ils étaient au plus haut.. un concert inoubliable.. dans une ambiance de délire..
I've always loved the lead singers attitude with this song live..he really enjoys it
Uh, really? This is a very political song; "enjoys" is a very inappropriate term.
Fascinante escuchar esta banda está si es musica con sentido es un himno , es sensacional

Bruh I read most of them and you're right :o
Blessed to haves see MO w/Black Uhuru in 84 and Ziggy Marley & HotHouse Flowers in 94
I love his unique and uncompromised charisma, he could invite Michael Stipe to sing this together some day!
they'll really go together. just like looking in the mirror...
Amooo essa banda❤🙏💐💋
