- Midnight Oil perform 'Beds Are Burning', live at Ellis Park, South Africa in 1994. Originally featured on the album 'Diesel and Dust'. Written by Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Peter Garrett.
Having steadfastly refused to play in South Africa whilst in the grip of apartheid, this concert is a celebration of the inauguration of Nelson Mandela in front of a packed Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg during 1994.
Mix by Brian Johnston
Production manager Paddy Matthews
Promoters Roddy Quin, Attie Van Wyk from Big Concerts
Executive producer Percy Van Rooijen
Directed by Koos Hattingh

I was in that audience. 3 things I remember clearly... 1) how amazing it was to see one of my favourite bands ever, in Johannesburg, 2) the amazing irony of being able to listen to "Beds are Burning" in a recently post-apartheid South Africa, and 3) the one-armed didge player. This gig was incredible and the memory of it lingers sweetly
I love bands who give it their all and try to connect with the audience. You can feel the energy in the arena from the video.
Yeah that apartheid thing worked out well... civilization moved out and the lunatics couldn't run a proverbial piss up
@@piteusx8440 Yes absolutely!
The one armed player is amazing.... to be able to keep that up is amazing. I just watched a video on it. 😊
Mandela sempre foi terrorista.
Mídia te enganou fácil.
An Australian hero, who was a voice for the Native Australian people and human rights❤
Was? Still is!
#midnightoil
No other entity has done more to highlight the injustices forced on to indigenous Australians 👊🙏
Have you given it back yet? Or is it just words in a song?
@@zephrynk9693 It's not as easy as you think. The world now has over 7 billion souls that all need someplace to sleep.
I did not know that! Hemsworth is also on that cause.....as we all should be
If your listening to this in 2023 you’ll know how amazing this song is!
A timeless classic… This band should of been one of the biggest bands in the world of all time.. Ever!
Incredible performance… 👍
Noticeable how the sound of this song has changed over the years. 2023 was a very different sound.
Who the fuck puts an advert in the middle of a song
Still one of rock music’s greatest songs.
Agreed 💯
Those young kids will never ever forget that moment.
It doesn't get much better then that. Being on stage with Pater Garret and the gang. Incredible
I’d love to know where these kids- now adults!- are at now, and if they have ever commented about this once-in-a- lifetime experience?
I would love to know that as well
@@PapaCowboySrI have never seen a concert with such energy. Peter Garrett is giving it and the crowd is sending it back!!
they sure like everyone was happy
2024 Still here, loving this performance!
Nessa época não tinha celular filmando e nem ladrão deles 😂😂😂😂
Yeahh
Another example of why Rock 'n Roll remains the greatest music genre. What a terrific performance!
your fucking right, rock n roll livers on for ever! i played at woodstock 69 i was with SHANANA god bless youj
We all are listening to this masterpiece hello from Michigan USA
Just makes me proud to be Australian. National Treasures.
Houvia nas rádios fms aqui do BRASIL desde os anos 80,,seu país é famoso aqui por ter boas bandas 👏👏👏👏 Austrália...
Well, it's wonderful in my home country of AUSTRALIA - the people are all very humble, religious and respectful folk.
Oh, and incidentally, pigs can fly.🤪
Certainly beats,I should be so lucky 🎉
Did you pay the rent, did you give it back? If not, then merely sentiments!

Amsterdam is listening
Back again in 2022! A timeless classic that will continue to appeal to all generations and will never get old !!
Peter had such an amazing stage presence. And so many great songs. Midnight Oil should have been as big and successful as U2.
always preferred them over U3
Simple Minds should have been too
@@orgonkothewildlyuntamed6301 Ikr!
U2 sucks
yes, The difference is that U2 sing to god and M.O. to reality
A fantastic band who fought for human rights. This performance is off the hook! Even my dogs dancing!
Oh oh oh ! Your dogs are smoking marijuana cigarette ! 🎉😂
La nececida les gusta ablar grocerias ami nome aces nimas ni menos estoy en otro nibel loke nunka dire nada loke descrubi
What an unbelievable performance of such a superior and relevant song. More relevant today than in 1994.
This concert was in South Africa... The year the demogratic government was ushered in
I loved this song since I was a kid. I literally just started crying watching video. The meaning behind the lyrics, the music, the engagement, the energy.

This would've been a great theme song for Peter Garretts Pink Batts scheme -Oh Wait. 200+ houses burnt down and 4 dead.
Bout time he gave some of his back isnt it the hypocritical millionaire arsehat.
Garrett and MO always sang protest songs about how bad corporations and governments were and how badly treated the indigenous were (which is an astounding lie when you look into it) and so instead of becoming an independent politician he joined Labour under arguably the worst Prime MInister Australia ever had.
The Pink Batts scheme was allegedly to insulate peoples homes by installing fibreglass sheets into the roof. The policy was so badly designed and implemented a wave of dodgy installers came along got a bucket load of money of the government and incorrectly installed the batts and then disappeared. Garrett left Labour and went back to be a singer.
And No he never gave anything back.
@@voxac30withstrat🤷🏼♀️ Alles, was eine Arbeiterpartei plant, geht schief.😵 Zumindest ist das bei uns in Germany so. 😨
Und es ist auch im Film "animal farm" so.
Aber die Botschaft stimmt, und jede Bewegung benötigt eine Hymne und wachrütteln.
Der Song ist mir sehr viel lieber als alles, was eine Beyonce und Kate Perry und Taylor Swift gesungen haben.
Look at that crowd !! They know how to concert. The energy level is through the roof
No cell phones in the crowd, just people having fun with this nice music.
I was there! Brings back memories. Johannesburg, South Africa
I was there and it was the best concert ever 🇭🇲😊👌👍
Love this song; Midnight Oil really knows how to work a crowd. Great performance.
That's awesome that he invited those guys on stage.!!!!❤️👏👏👏👏👏✌️✌️😎🇲🇽
Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett has become the voice in my head. And hopefully with millions around the world.
I Swear This is ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT!! The Best version ive ever heard of this song, just completely rocks your socks off!!!
I never thought I would see a more electrifying performance than Bruce Springsteen but I just did. I am stunned. That is the greatest single live performance of a song I've ever seen. Garrett is amazing.

What a great song, what a great band but what an awesome frontman - the charisma and performance of Peter is breathtaking
Love this song love midnight oil love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Glad. Ulike .......ba. usa. ..wlov
Listening in 2021🥰🥰
Loved this song from its inception. It speaks Truth
Absolutely 👍🏾
Let's gooooo
Yessssss
Siii
one of the great bands and one of the best performances of this song
6 years after they'll perform at the Olympics
One the very few Aussie musical acts that had something important to say.
Musically brilliant. Superb live.
Their recent and final album is a must listen, Classic Oils. All tracks are strong and meaningful.
The opening track is a belter.
Glad this band went along a different path and didnt sell out commercially.
Bon Scott, its along way too the top
@James Hodson apologise Mr Hobson
@petrakann what was the album you are referring to? I am rediscovering the Oils here in 2023!!
@@philjones8609
It's their recent album titled "RESIST"
Check out the track "Rising Seas"

what a way to incorporate the fans and show appreciation to them at the same time... absolutely terrific...
The bass just comes through so strong on this song.. i always liked this tune.
Agreed..and,great Bass Tone!!
The massive, syncopated bass fills in harmony with overlain synth horns drive the virtually sacred chorus, which instantly grabbed me the first time I heard “Beds Are Burning“ back in early 1988. I bought CD as soon as it became available. I was enthralled by the vocal and physical presence of their 6‘4“ lead singer, Peter Garrett, who is also a lawyer and may be a polymath, officially left Midnight Oil in 2002 to pursue a successful political and legal career during the next 20 years to pursue the civil and property rights of the Aborigines, as foreshadowed by “Beds Are Burning“. After retiring from MO in 2002, Garrett found time to perform with Midnight Oil several times on special occasions over the next 20 years.
I love it, the audience was really excited at this show. I like the fact that he brought up people from the audience to perform with the band.
good point... bring up people is very nice :))
Still listening 2024 forever😏👍👍
So spectacular! I love this song , the group, the lead singer, everything
2024 still watching and listening keep on while still alive..
The positive vibes coming of this song are absolutely amazing
Would like to see the young people who were brought on to the stage, must be in their 40's bet they have happy memories of this night. Life passes so quickly
Wooow. The bass and drums on this live version is insane. I got lost for a while, took me way back when things mattered. Policy n truth. Love and hope. Midnight oil encapsulated it.
A strong message with an excellent beat and instrument.
This boy is a rock star but to me he looks like a strong tough fella. I accidentally watch this video and my memory went back to the 90s when the first time i heard this song on our favourite radio station here in Fiji fm 96 but couldn't workout the name of the song and the artists but now thanks to RUclips i got it.
An ex South African living in Australia listening to this,we are truly blessed
Thanks. Wlov. Jeff ,,va. Usa
This song is even more pertinent, more timely today than ever before!
You know ? ! 🤔
And clearly it connects very heavily with South Africans
An awesome performance by Peter,one of the best i've seen. Greetings from Norway
love this song.i love how he invited some of the audience to come and play with them.
I always remember this tune when it used to come on over our radio Tannoy system at work and absolutely loved it. now....many years later having moved from my hometown in England to Ontario, Canada it's still an epic. Will never grow tired of this amazing tune. Thanks guys.
In France we can’t listen radio at work ! 😢
What a fantastic bass line! Awesome.
Ye its a really strong in this ,great song .
Laying in bed listening……the energy on him makes me want to get up and dance….but everyone’s in bed lol….brilliant
Awesome 👏 great memories, I grown up and still listening to the 80’s music 🎼 🎵 🎶 This Aussie dude got a unique voice . Everyone stay safe and blessings and greetings from my Sonoran Desert 🌵 HMO ,Mexico 🇲🇽 🌍 🌞 🌴
Heard this for the first time when it came out , never heard of the band, and thought, wtf, its awesome , still is, prophetic, musical, socially relevant,
Peter Garrett, electric, have loved this song since it came out but this performance, can't stop watching👏👏💥
totally, i just dont know why i cant stop watching this, with a smile in my face
These guys are the GODS amazing performance still have the cassette i purchased in 1988
Still my favourite after so many years ❤️
Awesome and epic as hell…great crowd interaction.. always loved this song since the 90,s, one of my dads faves too. Brings back memories.
A country where a guy like Peter Garrett can become Environment Minister and Education Minister can't be a bad place. Greetings from Austria.
Falou tudo❤
Unfortunately the recent referendum ended in disappointment☹.@@betsceara4709
These were good ole 90's concerts when everybody was involved and having fun, no standing around like zombies holding up a cellphone like nowadays💀
I was there, awesome concert .

In an age of 55 years, sittimg in pure joy and seeing/hearing this for 10th time in a row. This gives so many nice memories back in the days when I was on start of 20'ies dancing and singing with my friends to refrain...
This is live, at its best. Thanks for the upload....
Je n'est jamais vu une aussi belle représentation musicale en live d'un tube légendaire et planétaire que celle-ci."it's Sumptuous"
Oui c'est tellement beau à regarder et écouter cette vidéo !! Entre autre parce que le groupe invite du monde de la foule à embarquer sur scène et des gens se présentent bien sur scène et participent au show wow ! :))
The crew that recorded this captured lightning in a bottle
Great band, great music, great Peter!
I had this show recorded on VHS. I watched it so many times the cassette eventually broke.
Someone borrowed my VHS concert from me , and recorded a rugby match over it . Tch !
This lead singer is Awesome!!! Love this song!!!
I have seen musician electrifying audiences before...but nothing like Peter Garrett. He creted songs straight from his heart and sang them from there. What a performance!
Totally awesome performance in South Africa. Cheers from Canada
Extraordinaria banda.y la letra de la cancion muy bonita .hoy escuchando22.5.2023
Wonderful music and never in your life will it go out of style. It will always be remembered.

Not many vidio's give you chills, saw Oil in Mansfield Ma. In around 90 feels like im back. Nice !
What a fantastic performance. Superb stuff!
Essa música tem energia própria. É contagiante, alegre e empolgante. 🎶
Wer hätte damals gedacht, dass das mal so brennend wird 😮
Geiler Song und geile Show
Great beat and bassline
I love the energy of the singer. Absolutely brilliant. This got to be my favourite song now.
Yes such passion and energy ,but he's not old singer that's Pete Garrett. brillant band. Blessed to have seen them a couple of times.
The dead heart and Bullroarer are better songs
Wonderful super music and will never go out of style...!
FIRST TIME SEEING THIS FANTASTIC VERSION LIVE!
Still listen 👂 to tha masterpiece 🙏 2k23🫶 n still longer😏
This was my first CD. I had plenty of albums, but I bought this on CD. Saw them live in the Batschkapp in Frankfurt with about 350 others. You want beat this performance.
I had it on a 45 ..single in 1988... Way before CD were invented or at least technogy of the times.
All that Energy & power in one human 🧐😁
Ich kenne eine handvoll Menschen, die ihm ähnlich sind.
Sie alle haben ADHS.
🤔🤷🏼♀️
Today 10-24-2021, 7:30pm, under storm in SF. Bay Area… my first time listening this band w/my ears wide open the Super song… Beds are burning is awesome, fantastic, wonderful. Congrats guys, just let us know any tour around SF. Good luck !
Love Midnight Oil still in 2021!
Bueno,bueno bueno,esta canción es un himno,de las grandes de la historia del rock
The what
This man is nothing but PURE ENERGY, the entire Group is in SYNC, the audience is eating it up, AWESOME song, and he was once a School Teacher, WOW
Incredible song. Incredible performance. Relevant thirty years later.
Love the oils
Sounds wonderful
Saw the Oils in the 90s and again a few years ago with my wife. Two and a half hours of non-stop high-octane greatness. We were staying on a property 25km away. The morning after, the owners told us they'd pulled up a seat on the back porch, grabbed a wine and enjoyed the show from there! Bloody awesome.
My son played golf with one of the band members today and he is a genuinely lovely and down to earth bloke - salt of the earth guy who was fabulous with my 14yo lad. That speaks volumes to me! May they still be hammering out the good stuff for another 45 years!
Absolutely awesome, love that song, what a show.
One of the best Aussie bands ever
What a great concert.
Wow...what a a great performance of this incredible track. Final tour goin on right now, heading to Australia for final leg with full power. Would Love to see their final shows down under.
I will never forget them at Olympics Closing Ceremony in Sidney 2000
How great is that?! Fantastic energy!
Who’s is listening in 1974 welcome fellow time travelers
