No Aphrodisiac The Whitlams with Sydney Symphony Orchestra

[Teigane]

Beautiful.

[LASHbyFrancesca]

Just brilliant..... well it is!

[antje05]

he is just totally adorable and talented.....shame we dont hear much of the Whitlams anymore....

[Signaidmemorabilia]

Such a great song, I found love in London and lost that love in Melbourne to this song, an album and a song that is an eternal flame, that outlives the time it was made. True craftsmanship and integrity. It is often said Say it as it is. It has been said and it remains beyond experience of the time. Magic yet sad, enlightening yet bleak. Innocence! red hair ! retired teacher?

[judstinau]

awesome!

[Rattycoley]

Pure Brilliance.

[beaulieucanaus]

Brings me back to a time I lived in Melbourne, cannot begin to describe the emotions that get pulled out of me when I head this song. Absolutely brilliant!!!

[iasdrap]

supercool!!!!

[4XGold]

This is just a song..music......... Like all the others out there. This music .... this song will still be there when all the others are not.......... JOY

[DaveAndKerrilyn]

Brilliant ! I'm from Belgium, lived in Oz in 97 and 1998, saw The Whitlams in a pub on the Central Coast :)

Bought the cd, and its still on my Ipod, Eternal Nightcap is a CLASSIC !!!!

[seanmoonwalker]

haven't listened to this for years, it's always nicer with an orchestra 

[ellistiariannadena]

A long time from now, this song shall be regarded as a complete Masterpiece. As Macca542 stated - This is art. Simple as that. Never a more truthful word written.

[Macca542]

This is art. Simple as that.

[jandicalypso]

There is something magical that happens when you add an orchestra to a great song. Who knew singing about food in your teeth and bringing your dog for a visit could be soooo amazing!!! (I did like the song before I heard this version, I love it :) ) Great Aussie band!!

[Skeletor82]

I feel sorry for the 3 people who dislike this video. There must have been a horrible accident which made them lose their hearing.

[ElliePri]

@Skeletor82 totally right! I love the sound of the orchestra behind Tim's singing and piano! Can't wait wait for tomorrow night, seeing the Whitlams at The Gov! :D

[x19LukeUnited87x]

@Skeletor82 i think they were watching this video upside down!

[JordanLeeChappell]

I was there in the Opera house watching Whitlams + Sydney Symphony Orchestra and it had me in tears. Some of the most beautiful music I had ever heard live... And I never realised Freedman was such a comic!

[critchley3819]

@JordanLeeChappell  Hi i just dicoverd this and it bought tears to my eyes as well in this crazy world we are all part of it still can be yop ..

[arsewipe3]

[anomistars]

[noiseisgood]

TrackDown Sound Stage in FULL EFFECT

Stunning Sound Quality.

Nice Work Simon.

[skyeliamitchell]

Ben Northey is a genius. Add a splash of SSO and a dash of Whitlams, and you have pure magic. Thank you so much for posting this.

[Biggestisland]

cool

[nortellini]

Just been made aware of this song after falling in love with a lovely Aussie. Great song.

[propertyofranger]

Oh my goodness!  I almost didn't recognise Ben Northey without all his beautiful hair! :) I had the pleasure of performing with him as our maestro at the Sydney Opera House just this week - you couldn't hope to meet a friendlier gentleman, and such an incredible conductor. Such a lovely smile and sense of humour, such a privilage to have worked with him.

[lenamuopc]

im going to see them as part of my HSC music course

excited :)

[jezzeronthecoast]

Hi, Haveing seen him do this before it is worth your while. Mind you, considering the month you would have seen him and know what I mean lol.

[PiaZen]

saw them at The Basement a few years ago. Just awesome. "NO APHRODISIAC" is a timeless favourite for me and a few other people I know. Great band and Tim's not a bad surfer either :)

[barnanimal62]

Fantastic song, this band is a treasure of australiana.

[Bel1987]

If I had to choose one band, only one, to see live for the rest of my life, it'd be The Whitlams. I admire Tim so much. Great musician and wonderful guy.

[aliboonga]

hehe love Tim's hair here XD

[nasa72]

omeletta if you're in Australia, we get the Cd this weekend with the paper. all the songs they did with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

[bloodhoundau]

this song makes me weep im sufferring from depression.and its absoulatey amazing that this song talks to me i want to go go melbourne and see them perform live with the full orchestra i would think it b amazing thanks!

[gd84]

this concert was amazing

[omeletta]

I would love to see a CD/DVD release of these shows as well. No Aphrodisiac sounded a little awkward in this setting but I'm eager to hear what the other ones turned out like.

[40622088]

There was a free recording of it with one of the papers last weekend. Get it? Either way, it was a free cd so I'm sure there'll be torrents/downloads out there now.

Keep the light on is amazing with the orchestra.

[Shikkarn]

and a bottle of pills!!! YEAH!

[Shikkarn]

the build up towards the end made the song so much better

[commswarrior]

I love the line "Nappy-clad brutal breading"... How he got away with that one in 1995 I don't know..... 

Love ya work Timmy!..

[kremer08]

are they releasing a dvd?

[awesome87]

I actually thought he sounded better with the Queenland Symphony Orchestra.

[Meganaught]

I saw the Whitlams in Brisbane with the QSO and it was the best concert I have ever seen (I am over 40 now). It was one of the most porfound musical experiences I have ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Would love to see a DVD done.

[popsikitty101]

i saw these guys in adelaide cuz my dad is the manager of the orchestra and i got to meet them. They were soooooo good and it was the 1st time i ever heard them!!! They were REAL nice just so u know!!!

[cait26blue]

Their show at the Opera House with the SSO was one of the best gigs I have ever seen. These guys just keep getting better!

[shirotengu]

i saw him with waso at perth concert...great!!!

but whats with all the booze he drank?

[jezzeronthecoast]

Hi all!

I went to see him play with the SSO as well! To say it was great was an understatement.

[arabesque57]

I attended the show at the Opera House and absolutely loved it, I am never let down by the Whitlams and will continue to be a committed fan, it is great to watch the video of the practise. Daphina

[ranmadog]

[fearmemortals]

[dreamerkel]

I agree - absence makes the heart grow fonder was amazing that night. Still, all of their songs were great that night - very talented!

[harkinator1234]

I went to the concert at the Sydney Opera House on opening night it was the greatest experience of my life.I am 42 yrs and have been a fan of the Whitlams since 92, and have seen them many times before in many venues and have always enjoyed their gigs but last night not only did I hear and feel their songs but could see their music through the artistry of the SSO. Thankyou very much.

Tracey - Budgewoi PS A special thanks goes to Stan from the SSO for making the night even more unforgettable

[marciamarciamarcia87]
