Midnight Oil - Read about it (Live at Wave Aid)

[hieronymusboschful]

I was in the front few rows for this gig and it was freaking incredible. They brought the house down. 

[TheMcard]

This should be EBAY & PAYPALS theme song....AWESOME..!

[shnabors]

Miss seeing Crazy Pete perform; hard to believe he's given up this life to be a civil servant; goes to show that all those years of political grand-standing he was notorious for on-stage were from the heart (and as a result, not really "grand-standing")

[nuwver]

I really miss the Oils! This song still resonates with the times........

[miniflyboy]

BEST LIVE SHOWS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!!!  OIL 1997 Melbourne......2001 Chicago!!!!!!

[spquien]

If, when this song is heard, your hair doesn't stand up and chills run through your body, then you are dead!!!!! Oils kill it and always will be my favorite band! Have sen them 7 times in the U.S and wish I could see just one more time!!!!

[sonnybono1234]

YEAH, I WAS THERE..........THE OILS BLEW THE REST OF THE ACTS TO PIECES..

[lpmusonut]

THE GREATEST OF AUSTRALIA'S PUB BANDS. I still remember sweaty nights at the antler, selinas , etc Oils forever

[TheBashMyNinja]

This ranks on my all time top 5 greatest things my ears have ever heard! Long live M.O.

[themoz3]

go bones go

[alhododo]

it's very rolling stone-ish

[trac0067]

@alhododo Better than the stones

[deepwater70]

One of the best live bands ever

[FairlyGrrl]

OK, I am fucking impressed. And I've been impressed with them for a long time.

[qprochy]

Great band!

[RodneyRude7]

Rob Hurst is an awesome drummer

[malibumut]

Hirst!!! And he so is, one wicked drummer.. :-)

[BeNgEE08]

amazing wish they'd reform

[GibsonL65]

bu they are for one gig!!

[damo24now]

fat chance with peter as a pollie mate

[wha65]

I love the smiles of Pete just before the band get going.For those from other countries who are unaware,Pete is now a politician and staff of our Kevin Rudd Australian Government. He had already been in this position for 6 months.The Oils reformed as a one off farewell and gesture because this gig was to raise money for the Asian Tsunami victims.Pete was a bit hesitant and nervous because he has always been theatrical with his famous dancing.But in famous Oil honesty he kept it real!!!

[wha65]

Pete has trouble with the microphone in this song.He lifts his arm to instruct the band to stretch it out until he fixes it.

[clvezlys]

The mark of a pro :) No pesky technical difficulties are stopping him.
