Midnight Oil: "Dreamworld" LIVE 3/7/87

[saipanrick]

Could be that they changed the lyrics to the first verse in the studio. Also happens all the time.

[FrankyIsOld]

The oils are so great on stage, glad theyre coming back 2013, can't wait.

[TBellaDotka]

...he is so mrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...:))

[701Charles]

Awesome, standing up and saying what needs to be said! Screaming it! If we really like their music it's gotta motivate you to do something about something... know what I mean?

[carathebaker]

One person actually dislikes this video???!!!

[carathebaker]

Excuse my French but one of the most FUCKING awesome performances EVER!!

[TheBashMyNinja]

Still my favorite song to hear "live" of all times, powerful, wall of guitars, drums, bass, everything about it charges me!!!!!

[tedcantu1]

My friend almost got his fingers broken when he got pressed up against the stage. The singer almost stepped on his fingers several times. He said he was the scarriest white man he had ever seen... but all in all ... incredible performance

[Nigelxman]

@tedcantu1 Scariest white man performance?  What does that even mean?

[tedcantu1]

@Nigelxman scary meaning... he was scared... the singer was white and scary, and he was a white and scary performer... got it?

[DelDuio]

Whoah Giffo playing Dreamworld? This IS a rarity. He's not even in the video for Dreamworld.

[AngeloNoel]

Awesome! Peter is so cool, mate!

[dirtycharger]

Looks like this song was played live before Diesel and Dust. Giffo is still playing bass. Bones played most of the Diesel and Dust tour and then recorded Blue Sky Mine.... The Oils as raw as you can get.... I love it.... And I am certain they will play for the world again SOON.......

Peter changing lyrics live happens a lot, just when you think you know all the words and can sing along he'll mix it around a bit or come up with something totally different like in this clip. Kind of blows away the comment some moron made on one of their other clips about him lip synching, most ridiculous thing I've ever seen posted.

[greenjeansmjr]

This rocks ! Powerful !

[julianagazzi]

I Love the way he dances!!

[julianagazzi]

Love u Peter!!

U´re truly a "Giant"!!

From a brasilian fan...

[amozartii]

Great performance!! DId he change the words in the beginning of the song?

[Coldacre]

@amozartii - no, this was before the song was recorded. it was still a work in progress.

[murprit]

peter is now the minister of the enviroment

[waffen]

Love the picking part in the chorus!

[bilXD]

and I forgot to mention that in some parts the melodies are different too.

[bilXD]

this may be a stupid question, but why the lyrics are so different from the studio version?

[fitzroy7777777]

probably for variaty. you have to admit that these lyrics are interesting right?

They do this often, dont worry ;)

[bilXD]

Thanks man...

I'm not familiar with this band, so I didn't knew it. And yes, they're very interesting ^^

[WheelsyMcGee]

Great live version.

[jackkoslov]

He moves that much and looks mad...

GSTV CREW: Jack P. Koslov

I think he looks like British?

GSTV CREW: Fields

GSTV CREW: Koslov & Fields

Is really good, Midnight Oil is one of the greatest bands of all time.

[bigganigga30]

Robby Hurst...what a great drummer

[spscotto]

do you have any idea why Peter Gifford left the band? He was a really great bassist for Midnight Oil.

[fitzroy7777777]

i may be mistaken, and it may have been somoene else, but there was a time they were touring ALOT. eventually the stress made him physically ill, and he had to leave for health reasons.

like i said, i may be wrong, and it may be someone else.

[spscotto]

yeah, I feel bad because he fit the band so well. Now he's selling risque swimwear out of Sydney, I believe

[beano1eye]

He got sick of the rigueurs of touring!

[spscotto]

i believe it!

[beano1eye]

I forgot to post that he owns a company now that make womens swimwear!

[spscotto]

yeah, i've seen the site. it borders on softcore porn lol

[motodevil96]

Great drummer?Don't you mean the greatest ever to pick up a pair of sticks!The guy is an absolute bloody legend and i have had the pleasure of meeting him twice!On ya Rob!

[olivier92160]

[foxzilla87]
