- I feel as if enough has already been said about Midnight Oil’s final concert and I have little else to add. I’ll let the performance speak for itself, except that my rather poor reproduction doesn’t really do it justice. I would have liked to have been sitting a little closer and at less of an angle, but all things being considered, I’m happy to have gotten a seat with a view, for most of the time, of all members of the band (sorry Leah and Liz). And I never would have managed competing with the diehard Powderworkers for a position at the barrier. At over 3 hours and 45 minutes, a total of 40 songs, it was a truly epic performance. I recorded songs as my fancies took me, but I think I’ve ended up with an interesting collection of both old and new:
I'm the Cure (01:01)
Tone Poem (04:34)
At the Time of Writing (10:41)
Nobody's Child (15:44)
We Are Not Afraid (20:33)
Who Can Stand in the Way (25:06)
US Forces (29:20)
Drop in the Ocean (33:35)
Now or Never Land (37:31)
Only the Strong (43:28)
Best of Both Worlds (48:43)
Last Frontier (52:41)
Gadigal Land (59:01)
Read About It (01:03:40)
My Country (01:09:53)
No Time for Games (01:13:22)
Blue Sky Mine (01:19:56)
I would very much have liked to have recorded a couple of the songs after ‘Blue Sky Mine’ but by then both my batteries were dead. Enjoying the encores without worrying about videoing was actually a great way to see The Oils out.

It’s so sad these guys aren’t touring anymore as they are one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen hundreds if not thousands). It’s a shame that most people only know them for Beds are Burning, because their whole catalog is awesome.
and Dead Heart, and Warakurna - none of which are in this set list which is a bummer, but i agree there is more to them than the big hits.
I remember when they were at Frenchs every week for quite a long time hey!! Beds are burning was light years away from back in Head Injuries days!~ That apple cider was absolutely horrid but the bands were great lol
Thank you midnight oil for making the best music ever no band can last forever but I'd pick these guys over any band ever to go forever but oh well they had a veryyyy long career enjoy retirement Peter Garret,Rob Hirst,Martin Rotsey,Adam Ventoura and Jim Mogine. Finally r.i.p bones hillman
Rob Hirst, Jim Mogine, Peter Garrett, Martin Rotsey, and Adam Ventoura (RIP Bones) Thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done for the planet and our souls. You make us think, and care whilst having the time of our lives. Aroha once again from Aotearoa.🤟💚💙❤
almost 50 years of Rockin' Compassion!
Don't forget the original Bass player Bear!~ RIP
@@jasondalton-earls9972 Crickey, I didn't realise that "Bear" had passed away. :-( Was aware that the Oils have had 4 bassists Bear, Giffo, Bones, now Adam V. but my vid/live memories are of the latter 3. 10-1 was the album that hooked me, then went retro after decades of appreciation/"obsession" according to some Kiwi infidels LoL
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for commenting.
Glad I got to see them around 1990 in Massachusetts. One of my favorite bands.
A great band and always so good live. I don't want to think about them never touring again 😪
I still can't believe how awesome the band played over the course of this final tour. It was amazing right to the end. I saw them in Adelaide in late March (from the second row) & it reminded me of them at their prime as a live act - & as good as gig of the band I was at over my 44 years of seeing them play live (Arkaba Hotel Top Room 1978 - AEC 2022). Many thanks for sharing this great video. What experiences & memories the band have given us to treasure.
It certainly was a great final tour. If you're going out, it's always best to go out on a high, and as you said, the band was sounding as good as they ever had. Everyone attending those shows will have plenty of wonderful memories. Glad you enjoyed my rather pathetic attempt at capturing some of those memories. Thanks for commenting.
Nobody’s Child - MY GOD Peter still has an AMAZING voice
Thanks for the upload, its a great record of a fantastic and special night. I drove up from Vic (2 hours the other side of Melb) to be there at the Horden. Wasn't going to miss it. Bonus for me was on Saturday Arvo, around Gundagi I remembered there was a gig on at Canberra but wasn't sure when. Quick check of the website and yep that night, with tix still available. Of course I got one. Parked up nearby and walked in to the arena as the Oils took the stage. Turned out to be a very great weekend.🤘🎤🎸🎸🥁 🤘
Sounds like you had a very special weekend with plenty of great memories. I'm so happy I got to see this Hordern gig. It was truly massive. I'm also glad I recorded what I did. Watching it takes me right back there. Thanks for the kind words.
As good as they always have been... still amazing... great, just great!! What a way to finish up. Thanks for documenting and sharing... cheers!!
It was an unforgettable night. I just had to record some of it. Thanks for commenting.
Fully agree. They played amazingly with so much power & passion. It was a celebration of their whole career.
I saw them in Townsville. Thank fk! #longLiveTheOils
I was there,So f k n gooD
messes with my head seeing Moginie stage left and Rotsey on the right! but damn they sound incredible still. such massive guitar influences. Garretts voice is still as strong as ever, amazing really. he's been singing live since the mid 70's... long live the Oils!
Thanks for uploading, pretty damn good quality. I was at their Berlin (Spandau) gig in July last year and I have to say it was the best concert I have ever been to, and I've been to a "few" :)
Thanks for commenting. I saw them twice on the Resist Tour but this concert really was something very special. They really did go out on a high.
Very well done, Brother. Thank you. I was there stage left high up
Such a good night. I am so pleased to have been there. I'm sure you have great memories too.
@@Peter_LiveMusic That was something I will rem-emmm-ber....
Supergeil! Gracias, Compadre!
Writing this in late April 2023 - I certainly think this is the best audience-recording from those last few gigs of the tour. Just how damn good did they play & sound right up to the final gig. One again thanks for sharing your recording. They leave us with a wealth of music & live experiences from across the decades.
Thanks very much John. I'm quite happy with this video. Of course, I would have liked to have been a little closer but I was lucky to get tickets at all. When I started out videoing at concerts, I always wanted to be down the front. However, I soon learnt that recording sound from there produces very poor results. Getting good sound is much harder than getting good images. These days I go for the better sound. If that means the figures on stage are smaller, so be it. This was an unbelievable event and I'm very pleased that I got to experience it.
Peter - I was lucky to jag seats in the second row at the Adelaide gig. I'd not been that close to the band since the early 80s. Pity no official release done by the band - especially of the final gig.
@@johnkerr1957 I was in the middle at the barrier for their Alice Springs gig in 2017. Something I'll never forget. Apparently, plenty of footage taken at various shows during the Resist Tour. There might be an official video yet.
Thanks Peter, you do great work. Cheers.
Thanks very much. I really wish I could do better but there's always something that didn't quite work out. I guess I'm just a frustrated, amateur videographer. Thanks for the encouragement.
@@Peter_LiveMusic I noticed no problems. I think it was fine.
That version of Im The Cure was fantastic. It’s great to see the boys cranking up their guitar distortion like they did in the old days.
A huge range of songs, some of which hadn't been played in years. The guys gave their all to all of them. I'm the Cure was indeed fantastic.
@@Peter_LiveMusic this huge range of songs should of been played on 20,000 watt RSL TOUR or 2005 before Wave Aid or 2009 ACT warm up gigs or even 2017
You hit it on the head No time for Games feeling awwwwsome not my favourite set list no PWAP songs :( but wdv been there with bells on if I could still sound amazingly good P.Garrett legendary
THANK YOU FOR THIS. CANPT DENY MANY ,SONGS ID LOVE TO SE LIVE sorry for caps x
Thanks for commenting. It was an unforgettable night. I hope you enjoyed the video.
Nobodys child...wow!!!!
Gold, thank you!
Your welcome.
Wonderful Band
Great sound, thank you!!!
Thanks. Midnight Oil certainly sounded great that night. What a hight to go out on.
I will miss them! But everyone has to call it a day someday
Not the Rolling Stones.
I just watched your video start to finish and am starting it again. Nicely done! I like your set list (I hadn't realized it was a minor piece of their full set - I thought it was an unusual selection for them - some of my favorites. I hate to say I'm glad your batteries were low, but you really did deserve to be fully in the moment for the encores. This was a great tour, probably my favorite (granted only only started catching them live in 1990). They left me inspired (as usual) with a sense of peace and gratitude. Oh, and they were in absolutely top form. Pete's best singing.
Thanks for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. It would have been good to have been a little closer but I was lucky to get tickets at all - they were in very hot demand. Yes, it was a terrific tour. The band were all in great form. This final show was unbelievable. It just went on and on. 40 wonderful songs in total. The full setlist is here, in case you haven't seen it:

You're right about enjoying those last songs in the moment. And once I no longer had my camera to consider I really did get into them. Having said that, it would have been good to have captured just one of those huge numbers to have finished my video off with. Maybe "Power and the Passion" would have summed up the night well. There is a chance that some official footage of this show might one day be released. Fingers crossed.
Love the oil. I saw them in Washington DC in the 80's.
Merci
De rien
Thanks!
Thank u n midnight oil
Sir, you have an excellent taste in music. I don't know the full set list for this concert, but I do know your choices are spot on.
Also, kudos on the font for the song titles. I really fits and looks like it was professionally designed.
@@jeffreymoss The recorded songs were largely serendipitous. There were a couple I started to video and then decided no, knowing I simply couldn't video everything. But there were so many wonderful tunes to choose from. And thanks for noticing the fonts. These days I always try to find something as similar as I can find to the promotional posters. Here's the full setlist if you want to take a look:

Thanks for commenting. It's always nice to get positive feedback.
The best show ever
You must have missed them in the early 80s
Qu'elles étaient les 2 dernières chansons, s'il vous plait ?!
Les chansons sont répertoriées dans la description. Les deux derniers sont « No Time for Games » et « Blue Sky Mine ».
What I would give to be there... 16 going on 47.
This musical heritage is greater than both Mozart and Beethoven together
I'll do just that 👍
Was this the beginning of the concert?
Here's the full setlist. You can see for yourself where the songs fitted.

Okay, thank you. So yes, it was in the early part of the concert.
They’re great until he starts his political rant
