This song is about indigenous rights in Australia - Midnight Oil have always been a champion of our first peoples - and a kickass band!
I was holidaying in the Northern Territory many years ago, when a few of us saw a band filming in the distance. Had no idea who it was, until the frontman started dancing….dead giveaway….it was Peter Garrett and Midnight Oil and they were filming Beds are Burning.
1987, Diesel and Dust album.
Peter Garrett was 1.93m, or just a shade under 6’4”. After the success of the band he became the Minister for the Environment and Water.
Was?
IS. Saw the oils at The Palais in StKilda 3 nights ago and they are STILL one of the best rock acts going around. Brilliant show!
I can tell you when you meet him he seems even taller. Ran into him coming out of an elevator in Sydney back in the day. I am 5' 6" And felt like I only reached his belly button lol
Try 197cms. The roadies would stand on a box setting up and testing his mic
@@yobesondieki1 I was there too... Best gig
The first time I saw Midnight Oil I was 16 yo in 1979 at a place called the Crystal Ballroom in St Kilda, Melbourne, AUS and Peter Garrett came out on stage in a straight jacket and a beanie cap. He started thrashing about on stage and looked like he was having a fit but it was just the way he dances. One of the most memorable gigs I have ever seen. Absolutely love an earlier song called “no times for games”.
I was in South Africa on holiday in 1994. I was on a tour with some other Australians and a few Americans. It turned out Midnight Oil were staying at the same game lodge we were at (Phinda) and came over to introduce themselves to the other Australians. We had shaken hands and were having a nice chat when one of the Americans came rushing over and said "Oh we heard there were some famous people here!". (they had no idea who Midnight Oil were) Peter Garrett immediately took off. I don't blame him!
I saw Midnight Oil this year, 2022, and Peter Garrett still had that energy! It was a fantastic concert, along with the amazing Hoodoo Gurus and all our ex's live in Texas as well!!! Rob Hirst, the drummer is one of the best drummers on this planet too!!!
I remember when this came out, I was around 7-8 years old waiting for them the pop up on MTV so I could watch them again ❤ now here I am retired after 21 years as a combat medic and I can just RUclips them any time ❤
How Good was that!!!! Midnight oil LIVE!!! Thank you both for this reaction! So glad you enjoyed it, The Oils are well worth exploring many many other tracks they perform are just amazing, Cheers ✌✌✌
Midnight Oil are currently playing their last 4 concerts of their final tour before retiring from touring. They are as great now live as they have ever been
Ohh. Are they saving the world for global warming or are they in fact jetting round the world dragging you in to their bullshit. And yes, you will fall for it everytime. You moron.
The greatest ever example of Elaine Benes dancing ever seen, and loving it.
😂😂😂👍
Bahahaha😆
Hey guys! I've heard this song a hundred times, being an 80s kid, but never seen the band perform live - very cool! Rock on! 🤘😎👍
Some Aussie talent there. Peter Garrett, would you believe was a member of parliament at one stage. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
And went back to an honest job after that 😶
Just saw them on their final tour about 3 weeks ago and Peter still is a machine on stage, they still sound as perfect as they always have and LIVE they put 110% into every show. We will miss our Oils but we will always remember them as one of our finest ever. Ty for enjoying this performance.
Keep Safe Keep Strong 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
First saw them in 1984 at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney when I was 14. I had to wag the next day of school claiming a mystery 24 hour virus but was busted 2 weeks later when I was seen with my co ecused best mate on tv jumping out of the line up Infront of the tv camera and being an idiot wanting to be on tv. Yep, got on tv, but it was the ABC, back then Wollongong only had ABC and WIN TV. Quite a few teachers and kids from class let us know the next day how famous we were and rewarded us with 4 Thursday afternoon detentions after school. I still run now when I see a camera in close proximity.
They were backed by Machinations and Coloured Stones, an all Aboriginal band. My main memory isn't of the Oils, but Coloured Stones original version of 'Black fella. White Fella'. Doesn't matter what your colour, as long as you are true fella. Those words have never left my thoughts.
I always thought of them as kind of an Aussie cross between The Talking Heads and U2. Very underrated band. 👍😎
Not underrated in Australia!
Great concert that one..this one is a must see you guys ..Stand In Line..Oils on water concert ..prepare to be blown away on this live performance by midnight oil..Cheers from Queensland Aus..
This is the 1st time I've ever seen a live of this group and this song, awesome 👌
You really need to check out stand in line live
Love Midnight Oil one of the 80's early 90's best bands
I saw them in Zurich. Great concert some 30 years ago. It will never be forgotten.
Blue Sky Mine, My Country and Truganini are some other great Midnight Oil songs (all of which I think they played at that concert iirc) I'd love to see you guys react to more of their stuff sometime. Great video!
For the people pulled on stage it would have been an amazing experience.
Like very few performers Peter Garrett gets so into his music he becomes the music. Like Joe Cocker he almost gets possessed by the music. It simply pours out of him. The Australian Aboriginal community loves him as he has always promoted giving back the land that was taken from them. Their sacred sites. This is good stuff
At high school on the Gold coast Australia,we had to right to choose roller skating as our sports class. Wednesday afternoon were spent at the roller skating rink speed skating to this song. Fond memories of the 80$ .
Seen them live quite a lot early on. First time 1980 I think a surf club on the northern beaches of Sydney tripping off my nut and I can still see the screws slowly falling out and the sign that said maximum capacity 250 as 1000 plus of us shook the crap out of that building. Good times
Brilliant band and performance, legends.
Check out
Oils on the Water from the mid 80s.
Filmed at Goat Island in Sydney Harbour for Triple J.
Excellent live Oils. Yeww
Peter Garrett had a shit time as a politician because he was an activist an got hung out to dry by the Murdoch press for trying to do something....insulation in roofs with an unscrupulous private sector jumping on his scheme and sending unskilled migrants into roof spaces with nailguns and some of them got electrocuted. None of it his fault, but Andrew Murdoch said it was and a lot of people believed him.
Peter Garrett is a true believer and I doubt has EVER given a less than 100% performance (including his time as a cabinet minister).
My brother in law once (1980's) littered in a street here in Melbourne...dropped a Souvlaki wrapper in Carlton. He heard a voice shouting "Hey! Hey, mate! Don't rubbish Australia! Australia's a beautiful country. Put that in a bin! If ya' can't find a bin, give it to me and I'LL find a bin!" Bro in law is even taller than Garrett, but by this stage Garrett had been recognised by passers by, and with a growing crowd, Bro in law was shrinking inches by the second. He said to me "I saw that damned bald head and picked it up and walked away." He knew that the cheers of the crowd were for Garrett, and not for him.....they were booing him.......Bro in law is an Oils fan.
Seen them 3 times. Just finished their farewell tour. Heard they spent nearly four hours on stage in Sydney!!!
I've only heard the album version B4...this is awesome!
If anyone wants to see them in their younger years live look for Oils on the Water on RUclips - it's an amazing show.
The Oils concerts always rock hard and were so much fun!
I was there and now live in Australia… what a place and still produce awesome musicians
I arrived in Melbourne in 1995 from Ireland and was very impressed with the live music scene and especially the pub music scene. Back in Ireland now but miss the craic in Melbourne,
Ultimate Pub Band!😍
this song became a world wide consciousness anthem for indigenous peoples dispossessed of their land and treated poorly by govts
Never before have I heard of this band before listening to two of your reactions tonight. I like them. Thank you.
Travelled Australia with these guys in th 80s peter and the guys are very awesome
I saw them at a festival in my middle sized german town in 1994, loved them before and even more after. This song was so progressive back when it came out and sadly still is
I don't know of any other band than Midnight Oil to have been so successful with songs covering a range of social and political issues (the only other artist that comes to mind is the great Johnny Clegg with Juluka, Savuka and his solo work). The amazing Peter Garrett, musician, lawyer, political activist, politician (government minister), then back to being a musician. Just like Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil have no pretensions, they have always been a band for "ordinary" people. They passionately meant every word that they wrote and sang, walking the walk to back that up.
I am 57 and have NEVER seen a better live band. EVER
Oils, Chisel, Angel's. That's some great live music. Hunter's and Collectors are great live, huge sound.
This is a very political song, Australia basically stole native lands , while I am not privy to particulars, this was athem to make this injustice right.
Peter Garrett was a member of the Australian federal parliament a few years back and was actually the minister for environment.
the song itself is very deep and important, about giving land back to the
indigenous people in Australia... well done Midnight Oil
I've seen them twice in Australia on their Resist Tour. Greatest Aussie band of all time for mine and still belting out the classics like it was the 80s.
If you want to see them in their prime look up Jimmy Sharman's Boxers from the Oils on Water concert. It doesn't get much better.
Peter Garret sure can sing....and also weirdly almost as famous for his funky dance moves.
Great politition as well!
I've seen Midnight Oil in person three times. Peter Garrett is a force of nature.
I saw Oils play live nearby to where I live in Sydney about 8 years ago............Garrett was on fire live, when you are 6 feet 4 inches and move like that on stage it's electric.
this is an oldie! I remember it playing in the 80's. In the days back then of long hair arena rock, they were different. that bass line is infectious too!
we called him the energizer bunny
I was at that concert which was put on by 5fm featuring a few bands. Went there to watch Sting and left a Midnight Oil fan🤟
A good didgeridoo adds so much atmosphere to a song. How good is it. This was right after the end of apartheid - the Oil’s refused to tour before that.
Midnight Oil just recently played their last show.
Great tune.... great reaction.
Loved this song when i was a kid ....... im from the uk n i often mistake the south african accent wiv an australian one ...... im very sorry for my ignorance on this but i do work it out in the end 🖤🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I love midnight oil they rock
I’m going to see the Oils on Monday night for there final tour performing there 10-1 album
Wow you guys do cool music!
if you wanna learn all about them there's a new 100 minute doko on them coming out soon (Midnight Oil: The Hardest Line) - just premiered at the Sydney FIlm Festival - in fact the opening movie of the whole festival! Trailers on RUclips already :)
Saw Oil's 1986, 2022, Pete doesn't dance like he used to, I'm only 190 cm, so to me he's a giant, so tall. What music.
I can remember crewing at the Good Hope Center gig in Cape Town. The Usual was the opening act.
I’ve never seen this version before. Fantastic
Peter Garrett is a certified lawyer as well.
He did a political degree at ANU, not law. My sister's dorm room in Bergman College was the one Garrett resided in while he was at ANU 😁.
He was an Australian federal Member of Parliament!
Exhausting just watching it.
They are on tour in Oz right now…seeing them again on 1 Oct faint wait!!!!
Canberra!!! Did you get drenched at the Stage88 gig that was cancelled late?? 🌧.
Counting down the days 👍
@@scrotrot1595 totally drenched to the Bone!!!!! So glad they kept their promise to return 😎🤘🔥🔥🔥
@@chrisgoldston9755 yep, drenched to the bone. To the very marrow of all my bones. Bring on October 1st!!
Yes, still going!
Check out "Stand In Line" live at Oils on the Water concert.
Don't forget Liliac's re-release NOT AFRAID- extended version there's something for both of you, great guitar and bass, and melodia screams out of this world
Peter Garrret (singer) epitomises the expression: "white dude dancing" but its cool
Yes they are still going and on tour now
They still get it on, even today!
I’ve loved this song since it was first released (Yes, I’m that old!), it has a really cool groove and the lyrics obviously have significant meaning. My band has done this song for a couple years and their lead singer has way more stage presence and crowd interaction than me, but I don’t hear any of the cool original horn part or ethereal keyboard sound on this live version, which I have to say are both very prominent on our version since I’m the keyboardist (and vocalist). 😆
One other thing…I was confused about your reference to his accent and where the band is from. I thought you were inferring that they were from South Africa, but they’re from Australia (maybe that’s what you meant and I’m just an idiot!). The lead singer was also an attorney who helped to advocate for indigenous Aboriginal rights (which is also what the lyrics are about).
Jim Mogine does the keyboard work. I didn't see him or Rotsey in the clip?? I'll have to watch it again LOL.
@@scrotrot1595 It's a great performance, but as a keyboardist, the lack of the original keyboard and horn (also probably keyboards) parts was immediately obvious to me. I also have to watch the video again because I don't remember if they even had a keyboardist on this gig. If they did, maybe his playing was buried in the mix (If so...damn sound engineer!)
If you like his energy here you should watch the whole Goat Island concert.
Midnight oil are on the last couple of shows …. Of their Final ever shows …for all time.
Peter Garrett has been a federal senator in Australia as well
Farewell concert in Perth in a couple of weeks
We Aussie's love u Saffa's in the cricket! That's how our two countries connect. I was a mass Dale Steyne fan & lucky to get an autograph on a T/20 cricket from a Pakistani mate who sent it to me & i thanked Dale on twitter & he actually replied!!!!! Which really pissed the Indian fans off who started abusing me lol, I'm an Aussie i love taken their shit coz i can give it out better.
Peter Garrett is about 6'4". And no one works harder. This is Ellis Park. An amazing performance.
OILS AUSSIE GOAT BAND OF ALL TIME
You have discovered what Australian pub rock is really like , the bands all more or less start in pubs ,mostly small venues and therefore necessary to be self sufficient with the backup singers being part of the group .Peter Garrett the lead singer is an environmentalist who put his energy where his mouth is and ran for parliament , winning and becoming the minister for the environment . Afterthe politics he went back to performing .I love his dancing which has been likened to a cross between a surf stomp and an aboriginal Corroboree (traditional dance), whatever it is , when a whole pub full of people start doing it, it really is something to see. Keep up your Aussie adventure and don't forget to check out some of our female singers of whom there are many. PS LILIAC has a new release NOT AFRAID out looking forward to a reaction. FANG4LIFE RORH
That was funny Harry
When I saw you were doing this reaction I hoped it was the Ellis Park Version !
if you haven't heard Yothu Yindi check out their song treaty! they are an indigenous Australian band and yes they have didgeridoo.
Tribal voice is a deadly one
Check out the “oils on the water “ gig, in particular “stand in line”
Our best politician and the only one that stood up to his word. Great fuckin band
Another great choice Kevin. Another great reaction too.
Cheers ✌
forgot to thumb it lol Thanx Jason
Have you seen Peter's MAD dancing and Rob Hirst is a MANIAC drummer?! You'll find these on other videos. More please. This song is about land rights for Australia's first nations people. Most of their songs have a message. Of course we Aussies can 'keep it up'. You have barely touched the large and diverse talent of Australian music. More, please.
A political and environmental band. I don't agree with all their lyrics, but damn those boys rock.
Seeing them live is immense. Mogine and Rotsey on guitar, both very underrated, but world class, Hursty on drums is always high energy, Bones Hillman on bass - bless his resting soul. Garrett is one unique front man. Oils rock!!
They hit Canberra on October 1 🎸. Can't wait.
Peter Garrett's dance antics at this gig are relatively tame.
I remember he was fighting his heart out for the country and people..wow he was a Legend...memories...when politicians would fight for the people....
Watch Oils on Water 1985 live concert.
FIRE!
Old school plenty of good tunes
got linked here from your chisel vid. run by night, best of both worlds and armistice day are oils best 3 imo. you should definitely checkout the angels if you're doing "unknown" aussie stuff
Hah... no idea what went wrong, but I've got my reaction possibilty back!!! 😋
Soo..... If you think you're old Harry, imagine how old that guy on stage is now 🙈
And ofcourse mr Songs wants a didgeridoo too🙄
Why not go to that "right place" and pick up a gong and a bell when you're at it. Just get it over with 🤪🤣🤣
Hey guys there is japanese metal band you guys must check out the band is mergingmoon and their song greyen there is only live version of of song i am 100 % sure that harry would love this song it will blow your minds like most japanese bands do
These guys need to see Doc Neeson in his prime!
Its funny you say that Australians and South Africans have some similar sounding pronunciations, its seems when people try to imitate Australian accent they end up sounding South African.
Thx fore this..ow man i like this…
those kids up there would be FEELING THE MUSIC it would be a real BUZZ.....the music would be pulsing through them
For two seconds I thought that woman was the actress from 10 things I hate about you 😂
Lol, I actually get that a lot 😊
You must listen to Jimmy barns and John Fareham when something is wrong with my baby if you want Aussie legends a must
This band IS Australia along with Yothu Yindi. Check them out. It will change you. Love from Australia ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
