      @@MrPgrawe They were pretty big into guitar solos in the mid 70's. They were a weird cross between pub rock and progressive rock. When punk happened they just got rid of the guitar solos altogether. Save for like one or two per album. Their rhythm playing is very lead guitar-like to a degree when they are not going all jingle jangle.

You can see/hear them experimenting with different things and working through those now classic songs.

    Been a huge fan since '93, finally saw them at the end of 2001 (about the time in Rob's book) and twice during the Capricornia tour in 2002 before they called it quits. My daughter was still a baby then, and now she's a huge fan like me. Hoping they come to the U.S. for a proper tour and we'll both go see them. I never thought I'd ever have the chance to say something like that again! P.S: Dig out some oldies like Profiteers, Brave Faces, or Ned Kelly if you do!

    I'm curious and maybe somebody from the band can help clear this up. This concert took place in Melbourne in March of 1987.... Diesel and Dust was released in Aug '87... Looks like half the album was performed in this concert and its a very polished live recording so they had plenty of time to practice and rehearse.... anyone know when the songs on Diesel and Dust were actually written - through 1986 I figure?
    to illustrate - the lyrics on Dreamworld are totally different than what they ultimately recorded on the album... Cool!
    Can't wait to see Midnight Oil again later this month when they stop in Toronto

      Only 3 songs from D&D at this gig. You're right about the songs being written in '86, mostly during or after the Blackfella / Whitefella tour of remote Aboriginal communities. Always interesting to hear the earlier versions of songs. I remember hearing Truganini at one of their gigs before Earth and Sun and Moon came out.

    Watched this after watching 2004 and 2009 shows for disaster aid etc. The band was infused with a more wacky feel in the 80s, indicative of the time. By the 2000s they were rocking harder and straighter, less 80s sounds in their instruments. Always awesome but interesting to note development of live sounds.
