I love this band so much, my Wife and I saw them 4 times over the years and some of these songs bring tears to my eyes. Bones died and my Wife also passed, both of Cancer, it is so sad but my love of the Oils will never die...
Sending you all the positive mojo, hugs, good vibes I can. I’m sorry to hear about your wife. I have a similar story. May all good souls live on through heartfull genuine passionate music connecting good souls. 🙌🙏👊❤
My daughter and I were there, bouncing and singing along in front of the stage just to the right of this camera view. Powerful and energetic, musically sharp, incredible set list, a cocoon of adoring fans, wonderful performance. We met so many enthusiastic fans at the show who quickly became old friends. I didn't even realize beforehand that I was already part of an amazing club that will remain with me always.
im a veteran midnight oil fan first time i saw them was at the ' unicorn hotel " 1978 shitty venue great band forest inn bexley selinas cogee great shows always great over 20 years since i last saw them live i have not forgotten nor have they
That's earlier than I thought. Used to see them every 2nd or 3rd Saturday at the Narrabeen Antler probably in 1977 (maybe late 1976). These were the early days for sure and they grew into a cult like following from there. I thought this was likely their origins but Chatswood in 1974 says these origins are at least 2 years previous.
@@naturalexplorer Jim, Rob & Andrew formed "Farm" when they were still at school. They did mini-tours in coastal NSW as a trio. I met them in the latter half of 74 when they were at uni. I was their vocalist for a couple of months then life happened, but we parted on good terms. We lost touch, but I knew the owner of a printing business that backed onto the alleyway behind Rob's house where they rehearsed and he'd update me on the shenanigans, like when their new gigantic singer first shaved his head. Flash forward to early 78, and I'd been hearing things about this new band. Curiosity got the better of me and I went to see them at French's on a Tuesday night. Blown away by what I saw and heard. Became an immediate fan. Only then did I recognise them (Jim, Rob & Andrew looking very different from how they did in 74). Over the following 4 years, I got to see and hear a lot of things on their way to success and was so happy for them. They remain the nicest people, despite time, the "road" and the "industry" having a habit of turning angels into arseholes. I last caught up with Jim & Rob briefly 5 years ago and they were still the guys I knew from back then.
@@ianoz1 Great stuff. Those early days were really raw, loud and super energetic. They had a cult following on the northern beaches and full on in those early 3 - 4 years. They became a lot more commercial as it all exploded but whenever I saw them later on they still always put on a great show. I was just looking at their concert in Chicago which is more fall on than this one. The energetics and the power to harness energy amazing after all this time. From all the guys. Really impressive.
They are Unique and special like many other bands but few.....and still going strong same as Rolling Stones - GOD BLESS EVERYONE and keep them healthy and safe to bring us more songs.....
I thought this guy died in the 90's. Seriously I heard that and always liked them. Now I feel like he has come back from the dead just discovering these concerts on youtube from as little as a week ago
No Kidding. I drove up from Hayesville, NC so went right by you on my way. I was close enough I'm actually on this video. What a show. What A Show. Totally worth it.
@@brianream6460 they were great in 1978 great in 1982 still great pete was a member of parliament for a few years did not make him worse as the singer still great
flew in from texas to see the show. we did not bring a lozenge, i promise. the show was absolutely amazing. the last time i saw them was like 1988. while i wish i had caught some of their earlier shows (e.g. 2017), I am thrilled to have seen them in DC for their last North American show. They brung it! Still got that post-show high! Thanks for posting the video!!
My sixth Midnight Oil show and really sad to think it was probably the last. We drove up from Wilmington NC and this show was one of the very best. As good as the epic shows I remember from the early 1990's in Chicago. I was following the set lists along the tour, and I appreciate how they varied their sets for the different shows. Not a disappointment per se - but I would have loved to hear "Dreamworld" one last time, but that takes nothing away from what was a magnificent show in every way! Total bonus was the first time ever hearing Lucky Country in concert. Thank you Midnight Oil for over 30 years of magnificent music!
i am so blessed first saw them at the unicorn hotel oxford st sydney in 1978 great then great now saw then about 20 times 1980s strange how we are connected love it
From Oz here, so great to see them play a few earlier songs too. Hercules, Dead Heart, Power & the Passion, Only the strong.... from quite a few decades ago
Flew up from Asheville, NC. The show was brilliant. Got Covid (I'm thinking on the plane back - None of the DC relatives got it.). Despite a bit of a rough Covid road I am still glad I got to witness their brilliance.
The first time I went to an Oils concert it was in 2017 with my father on the Great Circle tour. To get to see then off on their final tour was amazing and a blessing to be there for. Thank you so much for uploading it!
Thank you so much for posting. I saw them here in Santa Fe NM, 1985, still one of the best shows EVER!!! #LongLiveMIdnightOil #LongLiveBones and love to Giffo!
Thanks Oils…what a great band you have been and still are. Great “lounge show” in Philladelphia. We’ve all come a long way since the shows at the Coogee Bay Hotel in 1986/87 or the test gig at the Annandale (1991??)…but the band has lost none of its integrity or the ability to speak to any issue and push the audience to think about the world we are steadily destroying… Rock on Oils !!!
Thank you for this! A great politicized rock and roll band giving it tbeir all for one last hurrah (or not). If so, this document of a great show will do very nicely. Wonderful setlist and a wonderful performance.
Reminded me of when PG fell during Sometimes at the Exxon protest. So happy to get that again last night! Amazing show. Sound mix was not great up against the stage, but there was no way I was leaving there for my last ever Oils show.
Their last concert here in the States and maybe the last concert of my life. Oils were the last band to play that I cared about. They will be missed. So glad I was able to see them last night and in NYC last week.
@@threesunrises Great energy by the Oils and an amazing show, but the mix was horrible back in Section 102 as well. Some songs were so muddled, they were barely recognizable.
Una de las bandas con mas contenido, de toda la historia del arte. Son un orgullo para la humanidad. Letras con un profundo significado. Músicos excelentes. Son un gran ejemplo, de lo que significa la dignidad de estar vivos y expresarse. Gracias por existir Midnight Oil. Me gustaría tanto poder verlos en vivo, algún dia.
Great show, linked up with some old college friends and we took it in after seeing Tears for Fears in Philly earlier in the week. Really nice venue - great sight lines.
This makes me even more disappointed that I had to miss this show but thanks so much for posting it. What a great set list. Would've loved to have been there for Lucky Country, Back on the Borderline and the Tom Petty cover!
@@Music--ng8cd Yes, thats true. Spoke with an Australian friend of mine the other day about Midnight Oil and he voiced some disappointment in Peter Garetts political adventure in Australia. Idealism and politics are 2 different things. If you want to find out about the limitations of government, become a politician. That being said.....at least he tried. I find Peter Garett to be a sound role model and I hope I am still bringing his passion and dance moves to whatever creative venture I am part of at age 70. Cheers!
I first saw Midnight Oil along with the band Lemmings supporting the Ramones at Festival Hall in Brisbane Australia in 1980. Hi from an old bloke Australian.
Hercules,say no more."Sinking South Pacific dreams".Go the "Oils".Saw them at Newcastle Workers Club the week before Diesel and Dust was released.What a night that was.😉👍👍
Amazing performance & soundstage. So many tracks closely connected to previous years of listening times together w special events in life made me really emotional. And its now the year of 2024. The Oils has set their marks.
I'm going to be seeing MIDNIGHT OIL for the fourth time December this year. THE first time was in 1983 with my dad i can't wait and this time I'm shouting my dad 39 year's later. The second and third time i saw them was the diesel and dust tour 1988 two nights in a row at the Friday night first show Peter Danced right off the front of the stage didn't get back on stage for ages and the Saturday show he was on a bar stools the whole gig broken leg
I’m so happy to see this entire concert is online. It was my 4th time to see the amazing Oils live. What a great night and now I can relive it over, and over again. Thanks Midnight Oil for all the great memories.
@@geraldmitchell6271 - Ah - the guy sitting in front of me was also remarking that he had seen them 4 times. Probably not that unusual for longtime fans.
Another thing when i saw them at the SWEETWATERS MUSIC FESTIVAL IN 83 13 year's old with my dad one of the things I've always vividly remembered is the steam coming off Peter's head red green blue purple from the lighting for a 13 year old in 1983 it was awesome

I saw the Oil's at Phillip Island in the mid 80's..... Mind blowing..... The vibe is still in their music... Not the same energy these days unfortunately.... I'm nearly 60 and still listen to them... Often!
great concert...great speech!!! still hoping they play down here in brazil where we need them to shout out along #forabolsonaro #bolsonaroout #jailbolsonaro
I grew up watching the Oils in pubs around Sydney... Besides the brilliance of the music writing, the lyrics, the performances, it was also a band that made us "aware" about greed , the corps ect.. And I always found it funny, sometimes , someone , at a gig, or online in this modern today, , says they'd wish Garrett would stop talking between some songs , and forget the politics, and just do music.... LOL..... I guess sometimes, it proves some people don't know whats in front of them, nor consider even the message....... Well.... at least FTW, they know good music.... ;)
Credit must go to the ' new ' Bass player who has learnt all these tunes He was obviously recruited into the Band due to his capabilities and compatibility. Notice he gets a microphone and Rotsey doesn't. LOL!! OMG!!!! The beginning of Blue Sky Mine nearly goes into " In a gadda da vida " by Iron Butterfly. Fair Dinkum mate!!!! It's uncanny ( X- Men )
I remember an interview - they needed a new singer and Peter Garret turned up in a very small car like a Honda civic - they all said this is the guy !!
@@c.t.b. ah ok, it reminded me of a pose Peter Garret did in a clip once, maybe he just replicated that which is a bit pathetic. I was thinking of the fan pyramids at New Model Army gigs as well, they're still on
@@escaton74 I was in the back and had to stop watching that guy. "Director" is a great term. He literally was calling for the next instrument to come in

Fantastic Aussie
So blessed to see Midnight Oil after so many years truly one of a kind cool band. A day before my birthday Awesome
I’m sure they’ll be back, they sound better than ever! The world needs Midnight Oil.
I sure hope you're right. It would be amazing.
@@geraldmitchell6271 Amazing like when Peter Garret was a politician ? We heard nothing from him, crickets ! He's no hero that's for sure.
a very simple band not great ,,,
@@lostinspace699 Simple! Only the best live band ever.
@@geraldmitchell6271 No ...
You'd never know Peter Garret is 69 years old. He doesn't sound any different than he did 30 years ago. The sound quality in this video is amazing.
What a great live band. The new album is epic. So glad they're still pounding the message to anyone who'll listen!
This show is outstanding. Thanks a ton for the share. ☺️🙏🙏🙏🙏
The fact that jazz hands guy in the front row survived the entire show is a testament to the tolerance of Midnight Oil fans
He's a legend. I've hung out with him at 5 shows. Great guy
@@jameswarren1114 Jimm-aaayyyyyyyyyyyyy. Love the high-five moment we share at the beginning of Last Frontier
Blue Sky Mine - love when Peter reached for the harmonica in his back pocket and it's not there. Roadie races on stage with a box to save the moment.

First saw Midnight Oil in the 1980s..one of my favorites of all time
For those who don't know what word is...The Oils can do no wrong. They always hit the bullseye!👌👍
Great to see this monumental band still firing on all cylinders. It's a long way from Chatswood '74, but what a journey! Thank you, my friends.

Bullshit... Garret lost all integrity when he apparently served the people in the Australian parliament.
The backup singers, Leah Flanagan and Liz Stringer have been fantastic. They shine especially on "Won't Back Down".

Midnight Oil Play Surprise Sydney Show With New Bass Player Adam Ventoura
by PAUL CASHMERE on FEBRUARY 18, 2021
in NEWS
Midnight Oil broke in their new bass player Adam Ventoura in Sydney last night.
Adam replaces Bones Hillman who died from cancer on 7 November 2020. He has toured with Ian Moss and came to Midnight Oil’s attention when he was recording at Jim Moginie’s studio.
Peter Garrett said in a statement “It will be a moment heavy with emotion to go onstage without our long time brother in music, but Bonesy always made it clear he wanted these gigs to go ahead without him so we know he will be with us in spirit”, said frontman Peter Garrett. “We’ve just started rehearsing with Adam, who, amazingly, has been living under our noses in Sydney. There’s something primal about his playing that caught our ears that makes the band sound great.”

Thank you for sharing this priceless show!
We flew in from Nashville tn to see this show... it was amazing
Botschaften an alle Menschen, finde ich toll ❤❤❤
Danke 🙏 ❤❤❤
Agree; they'll be back - there's plenty in the tank [ or should I say sump! ]
great concert...great speech!!! still hoping they play down here in brazil where we need them to shout out along #forabolsonaro #bolsonaroout #jailbolsonaro
Brazilians are great lovers and supporters of Australian Bands. v Spy v Spy!!!!!!!!
thanks for bringing a decent mic
Wow. thanks for sharing
This song gets me every time!
Que gran banda ...dios, que gran banda...2022 y siguen increíbles...
Only disappointment was no short memory or warakurna. Row H in section 3 with Daughter - great show.
A GREAT band that matters more than ever!
The power of Bones so obvious here. 2 backing singers to replace his 1 singing voice. We miss you, Bones.
I recorded a show they did on "Thick of the Night" show. It`s my fave.
One word, superb 😎
Great show..going out on top..love th Oils
I saw them live Last year as a concert called Mundi Mundi which is where the Beds are Burning film clip was filmed
High level stuff
AWESOME !!!
I grew up watching the Oils in pubs around Sydney... Besides the brilliance of the music writing, the lyrics, the performances, it was also a band that made us "aware" about greed , the corps ect..
And I always found it funny, sometimes , someone , at a gig, or online in this modern today, , says they'd wish Garrett would stop talking between some songs , and forget the politics, and just do music.... LOL.....
I guess sometimes, it proves some people don't know whats in front of them, nor consider even the message....... Well.... at least FTW, they know good music.... ;)
Sad they didn't play Dreamland, but loved that they played Petty
also Kosciusko was incredible
1st time I saw them live was 1983 penrith park BEDS ARE BURNING WAS MAJOR SONG 🎵
So great to hear lucky country..
Credit must go to the ' new ' Bass player who has learnt all these tunes
He was obviously recruited into the Band due to his capabilities and compatibility.
Notice he gets a microphone and Rotsey doesn't. LOL!!
OMG!!!! The beginning of Blue Sky Mine nearly goes into " In a gadda da vida " by Iron Butterfly. Fair Dinkum mate!!!! It's uncanny ( X- Men )
I remember an interview - they needed a new singer and Peter Garret turned up in a very small car like a Honda civic - they all said this is the guy !!
Awesum oils
сколько лет!ностальгия!
Outstanding concert ❤
Those people up the front..... maybe they don't realize how lucky they are to be in front of the Oils.
Mining royalties should go to Aboriginal organisations. $$$$$$
Come with us in Brazil!!!
One of Australia's Greatest Bands 🏆
Such a good band They were!
he missing the harmonica on bluesky mine was fantastic hahahahaha
Quite a setlist!
I wish they played Stand In line.
Or No Time For Games.
How the F did I not know about this show? Kicking myself
1:37:20 what's the guy in the front row doing with his hands all the time, is that a special Midnight Oil move oder was ?
