Midnight Oil - The Dead Heart (Unlpugged)

[MOTORPERU]

Uhmmm Buenazoooooo aaaaahh tiempos de new wave tiempazosssss

[canimanchai1]

Great comment by ShaneWThomson! One of my favorite bands in the world!

[elcoqueiroful1]

is very good.

[F0rtysxity]

wow!! they killed it here. wonder what year this was? masters of their craft while still holding a edge of hunger... love it!

[SeaOfGold]

@F0rtysxity Hi, must have been around '93 or so. Got the whole wonderful set on a VHS somewhere, obviously was part of the MTV Unplugged series. The Oils are still sorely missed!!!

[pjerjaje]

ENGLISH DOGS SHUT UP AND LISTEN MUSIC OR GTFO!

[dalmanation]

damn I thought u tube banned this rubbish

[ludimilojko969]

When I was young, it was known what kind of people listen to Midnight Oil.Regards from Serbia.

[thehats00]

Does anyone have a clue where to find a shirt like Garrett is wearing?

[incrediblehooks]

Powerful song! grew up listening to Midnight Oil as a kid back in the 80's/90's, HEAR the message Peter is getting across Australian Gvt! NZ fan.

[CanTake8]

I would love to hear a version where this was sung with just the didgeridoo and percussion. That amazing sound gets largely smothered by the guitar/bass/drums. Still one of my favorite bands after all these years.

[F0rtysxity]

@CanTake8 I'd like to hear that version as well... but think it's worth noting that the didgeridoo plays only one note... so it is probably buried on purpose... and the song without any harmonic changes probably wouldn't be as good as we are imagining it...

[CanTake8]

@F0rtysxity Thank you for new knowledge: I had to listen to this again and was amazed that the didgeridoo indeed plays only one note. That makes skilled players like this one even more amazing.

[2ng]

nice!

[NothingFi]

remeber when mtv used to actually play music. good music at that too.

[decompressionchamber]

I want my Jersey Shore ha ha ha

[SkyAceBF109]

Whats the name of this instrument?

[killercitrus]

@SkyAceBF109 i assume u mean the didgeridoo?

[crane80490]

@SkyAceBF109 I wonder who is playing?

[aidulia]

Best regards from Lithuania all of you

[cohi27]

The Didgeridoo: The original dubstep remixer.

[wwwbretonline]

I believe in Midnight Oil !! So much incredible !! Alin from "Le Dossen (France)" Dédicace à Dédé

[kogcc]

Peter Garrett even dances funny sitting down!

[comopez]

me encantan, son geniales

[STAG162]

Awesome unplugged, didgeridoo complimented it nicely too.

A shame the audio isn't synced with the video, it's out by about a second, and ol' Peter Garrett looked like he was singing backwards in a few areas of that vid.

[marshallsimon]

this is Decicaded to the Aboriginal Peoples Of Canada !

[GrandMasterTaft]

how good is that... in the aussie vernacular: fuckin awesome mate!



[gfjb741]

He said, "Will a didgeridoo?"

I said, "Mmmm mmmm mmmm maybe it'll hafta!"

[ergotistic]

wow :)

[MikeFrostification]

All time classic ! One of my favourites - Mike Frost

[zinizucu]

Great Band! Cheers from Peru,

[cheryllatif]

Why could we not have someone here, in the States? Like these guys..But no,am stuck with Bush and now,Perry.*blushes in embarassment*

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

Respect the Aboriginal peoples of Australia!

[dumanow6]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY respect is a two way street

[gusfrmkennedy1]

@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY Aboriginals have to start "respecting" themselves and other people and their belonging's before any one will respect them. Australia is so multiculturalised now we have lost our dislike for aboriginals the only thing that people disrespect about aboriginals now is the fact they treat other peoples stuff and stuff that they have and their "country" like SHIT. It's not lost to them they just can't be bothered fighting anymore which is understandable but not respected.

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

"My Country" is another Brilliant one

[aishiaodam]

thats great

[KenneyX15]

No joke... I actually got goosebumps during this.

[sbphelps]

Saw them three times in concert. The first time with Hunters & Collectors was my favorite.

[MIDNIGHTBASTARDS]

LOVE IT!

[pequenabad]

good good good...

[themooddisorders]

The Oil always seem proud of their heritage and sharing the land

[cindyao]

AMAZING!!!

[SacredAngel80]

Grymt !!!

[fractalchez]

Question unrelated to song's awesomeness:

A lot of YouTube videos seem to have some really bad audio-video synchronization, and this one seems particularly bad. Does anyone know what exactly causes this? I ask because I'll probably be posting a few myself soon. Much thanks.

[osorepublica1]

SON DE LOS MEJORES EXPONENTES DE MUSICA!!!! ARRIBA AUSTRALIA!!!!

[steffmale]

even the guitar players did a great job -watch them...

[Conchobhar]

I want a didgeridoo.

I mean a real one, not the tiny tourist ones my grandparents gave me.

[aVeryIntelligentDog]

As a Canadian I really feel like this song means a lot to my heritage. This song has such universal meaning yet there is such a strong similarity between the way the native populations of Australia and Canada were reduced, its no wonder why AlexisonFire made such a heartfelt cover.

[vipana1]

SIMPLEMENTE LOS MEJORES

[59shayne]

Saw them several times live and one of the best bands I ever saw. Their supposed last gig at the Pier Hotel Frankston was unreal! something in the annuls of the mind.

[NandoNeto75]

FODA



[shanewthomson]

The best thing about Midnight Oil is that they believe in a strong multi-cultural Australia. Too many people get uptight saying things like Pete Garrett has abandoned his race / people. That he only supports the "darkies". What rubbish. The Oils embody everything that Australia is. Good and bad. And their message is (with a bit of get yer shit together boys) we are all here in this lucky land - let's shake hands and see what we can do.

[BunnyWunnyPuke]

@shanewthomson Echos from Canada :)

[ariesmorrison]

@shanewthomson Hi Shane i was fortunate enough to see Midnight Oil in concert in NYC many yrs ago and I love them for the message in their songs, tell me friend, are they still making music together?? just asking and God bless!!!!

[ufp1701]

@shanewthomson

Well said mate!!!

[dalmanation]

@shanewthomson grow a set and toughen the fu up country. Peter G is a disgrace full stop. Oils embody everything 80s and that has finished along with your relevance. fuck you idiot

[freemanlisa445]

@shanewthomson I wish the US could do the same stop looking at skin color and join hands no matter the color of that hand as a whole we could change alot I hope i live long enough to that

[gusfrmkennedy1]

@shanewthomson Great clip, thank you. i hope Garrett comes back from "the dark side soon" before they make him into a bigger scapegoat than what they have done and make the population lose trust in the Oils and their followers. Not unike the usa did to John Lennon, they killed him off (although not as quick) but by making the public lose Faith which is what all Dictatorships do. i hope he finally has enough and say f$%^k 'em all and the Oils rise again and fill venues worldwide.

[nelg321]

In 1993 I was flying from Japan to New York. Long flight. I was sitting next to a very cute woman. So I made conversation...So, where are you from? She said, Australia. Oh, I am from the states, I said. I wanted to say, Oh, one of my favorite bands is Midnight Oil ( but I didn't. Thought it might be corny). Instead I asked, what do you do? She said, I do Midnight Oil's wardrobe. Oh, me, oh my!!! I love the Oils!!! I said!!! Do you want to see their MTV unplugged, she said. YES!!!

[SOLaharl]

I didn't know Colin Farrell could play didgerido.

[pfbelesa]

hi where is this show from ? MTV?

[inovyseb]

ufff lo máximooooo!!

[TheSandaloquadros]

DEMAIS O SOM!!!!

[cwazibob]

dude this is mad i swear only aussy band better than midnight oil is kinetic luke

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

if they gave Austrialia back to the aboriginals the rich right-wing conservative whites there would no where to go lol, new zealand? Don't even think about it lol

[MrXyugo]

F*** AMAZING!!!

[rijkent55]

Stunning performance (=:

[donaukind74]

Fine, a very good song and a perfect performance. :-)

[TimeGents]

I totally agree :)

Love the didgeridoo. A very difficult instrument to master.

[mamoonshah]

This is a great song, great band. But this song right here redefines the Art of performing Live.

Perfect execution of Vocals and music from start to finish. The way they incorporated various instruments and sounded harmonious, its just out of this world.

Agree with 'infernal', GOOSE BUMPS it is all the way through. Love Midnight Oil.

[TimeGents]

@mamoonshah How right you are :)

[COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY]

far out. White Austrailia MUST give all land back to the Aboriginals

[yemieko]

Unlpugged?????? Do they teach them how to spell in Australia? ;-) (great song btw)

[therealisation]

"...URANIUM companies...."

[martmako]

easily their best song ever, top tune, love it : )

[enwian]

Midnight Oil!

I miss you here in germany! You are the best I've ever seen!

Die beste Band der Welt!

[ScrotalKarma]

Excellent! All the musicians have played their hearts out! :D

[benerouen]

Cette chanson est déjà magnifique, mais cette version est encore plus belle. Merci

[agarraonpuges]

temazoooo espectacularr ok



[ScrotalKarma]

Excelent! Extemey well done!

[1alexmorris]

Alexisonfire's version is better

[1alexmorris]

Alexisonfire's version is better

[DaniLeigh79]

Wish they had included this with the originally aired version that I video taped

[zeddtbear]

bad evil white man ruins everything :(

[bigguy12ist]

59 WHITERABBIT. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC CHAMP .ONE OF THE GREATESTS BANDS OF ALL TIME. EAT SHIT BUDDY

[59whiterabbit]

You silly cunts listening to garret.

Don't you know he is a lying two-faced arse-wipe.

If you still like mo/garret, then go fuck yourselves.

[hally2402]

class tune, one of the best

[richmonksgtr]

Excellent performance of a great song. I also love how at the end, Peter applauds the band in a sort of semi-awkward dorky way. It makes what could be an intimidating, giant bald guy quite lovable.

[howcork]

my fav OILS song out of about 50 ! LOL ! these guys are the only band i have heard live that sound exactly like they do in the studio ! true professionals !

[juebusch]

Never have I seen a ROCKBAND that looks THAT FREAKIN MUCH like post-office clerks. Unbelievable! The AUSSIES are indeed different, it seems....

[wagnerawbz]

VERY CRAZY!!!!!!!!!! BRAZIL!!!!!!

[boing656]

:O TOTALLY WICKED :O

[TonyBpr3]

just great

[thecure00]

Midnight Oil was a very underrated with INXS, injured who can not appreciate good music, this is a good acoustic along with The Cure and Nirvana

[MonkeyMagic88]

White Man (Anglo Saxon) came to Eireann and did the same thing.... what we don't hear is that the Jewish Bankers prodded and pushed Royalty to do it for more taxes. You see The Rothschild Banking Mafia owns The Bank of England. Is that too much honest truth for you ? Peter Garrett hates his own true European ancestry and follows orders from the Rothschild Global Warming scammers.

[willmcc]

@MonkeyMagic88 cool story bro...

[STRAWBERRYMALT02]

White man came took everything; lets unite and give it back. Bala b love that Cape York wun eh

[STRAWBERRYMALT02]

White man came took everything; lets unite and give it. Cape York rocks

[pikpoker57]

i love this groupe and pays spiritgame french man

[locovel10]

underrated is a compliment

you must not be an American because you didn't know this and you spelled it wrong

great song, BTW

[MrFrankGO]

timeless...

[adrianojacare]

Adoro Midnight Oil! Muito bom!

That´s the rock and roll.

[toolaek]

simply great!!!!!

[j3m5m8]

trrop fort

[panthershaun]

excellent band, fugging excellent didg plyer

[1977mops]

ohr wurm ohne ende !!!!

[aidulia]

To S2Sturges: Peter ką nors gero padarys ir politikoj, man taip atrodo, juo labiau, kad jis yra aplinkos apsaugos ministras. O dainos nuostabios, bet visada galima grįžti ir muzikuoti toliau. Svarbiau nuveikti ką nors realaus kitoj srityje, ko ir linkiu to Peter. Gerbiu šitą grupę.

[S2Sturges]

Peter should have stayed in a rock n roll band and out of politics, they were seriously great... and yeah that didge player is something else....

[Toonlink003]

omg is voldemort! of harry poter ! D:

[mountainbika91023]

finally a song i can try to play along with my didg on!

[orange105]

Like the doig..check out "one Way" by the Levellers live at Glastonbury on here. It is awesome.

[openmikescene]

Raw power.

[eletricmayham]

MIDNIGHT OIL IS NOT A ONE HIT WONDER THAT'S FOR DAMN SURE

[mountainbika91023]

@eletricmayham thumbs up!

[KamikazePenguin9]

REPLACE THE WORD : WHITE MAN with WRONG MAN SONG MAKES SENCE

[Dippiscott]

I remember when this episode of Unplugged came out. I still think it was one of the best in the entire series. From back when MTV was about music, not reality show garbage.

[Kgv1]

Sensational.....es lebe die Musik, es lebe Midnight oil.

You just can't get much more original than these guys;- Music, Lyrics, Ryhtm, the hidden messages & obvious statements, entertainment pure.

The total Rockband in my book....

[InfernalPurge]

Goose-bumps from 0:00-6:07

This is the best performance of any Midnight Oil song ever.

Period.

[juebusch]

I have definitely not seen too many MO-videos, but this song is certainly PERFECTLY played. TRUE!!!

[juebusch]

SO TRUE!!!

[galelieia]

@InfernalPurge adorei

[psystep]

@InfernalPurge ;)

[59shayne]

Saw them several live and one of the best bands ever. Saw there supposed last gig at the Pier Hotel Frankston and it was unreal!

[SleepyTymeT]

@InfernalPurge I agree.  I love the Nirvana appearance on this show, but THIS. THIS is eerie. Chills.

[Dille65]

Klasse

[TheLaurent420]

Great performance by this guys ... awesome thanks for posting this

[Grehmdel]

One of the greatest bands of all time. Sadly it looks like the audio and video are out of sync on this one.

[djona007]

[unemployable777]

My favourite aussie band..go the oils

[settlers333]

Quelle catastrophe cela va engendrer.pour nous eviter le pire on nous desinforment alors que la menace et réel pour une partie de l'océan. Notre terre saigne déja depuis un moment , mais la il faut arreter.pour moi en pensant de cette situation cêst pire que tchernobyle ce mal ce repand a travers nos océan qui n'est rien que nos veines notre vie,j'ai pitié pour notre terre M Garret

[settlers333]

je suis egalement plongeur et j'attache une grnade importance a l'ecosystém sans cela comme les abeilles l'homme disparait a qui en faire concience auf à vous Garret vous êtes le seul,vraiment le seul

[settlers333]

un ancien marin de la marine Suisse,j'ai navigué un moment sur les océans et je voulais dire que sa me touche profondément la catastrophe dont on ne parle peus sur la station Deep Water horizon qui à coulé,et pourtant c'est une catastrophe écologique san précédent de l'histioire humaine. pourquoi why on ne dit rien sur son impact.

[wannafly1]

Oh my sack , what are u faggots on about.., fucking roofing??? are you insane???

What in this song is related to the crap you are on about???? (I only read the first 2 comments)

Go find a "forum" that gives a shit about youre opinion, and don't forget to wipe the shit from the corners of your mouth!!

These guy's are like Johnny cleg from S.A. , it's almost like the "bards" of old passing stories on!

OOOh , I found a forum for you...."MYROOFLEAKSBOOOOWHOOOO­:WANKER:U

[TOWIEONLINE]

Thanks for my roof instalation Pete... Mine was put in well...

[Rekic1]

wonderfull

[Bradlee6950]

He should be singing and not talking bullhshit.

get back to ur own beliefs,u cant change anything by being a polly

aussies have known that shit 4 years

.

[vsmash14]

I've been looking for this song like FOREVER I dunno 8 years maybe ? YES I found it hahah

[SumnerMurrayRedstone]

@vsmash14 Looking for it for 8 years? What are you - stupid? You fucking BUY it, you MAGGOT.

[gaiamethod]

Really good music. People often think they can change the world from the inside out but in politics it doesn't happen. Music can influence thousands though!!!

[Spacerboy]

the only band i bought all records from! i hope i did not miss one because mo is just fantastic!

[Thunderstruck101]

If Peter Garrett cares so much about evil companies, then why did he join the liberal capitalist party, whoops sorry the labour party? And for that matter, if he thinks that whites taking over the Australian continent was so evil, what is he still doing here? Why doesn't he give his property and his ill gotten wealth to some aboriginals and move to the UK?

The strong take what they want, and the weak suffer what they must.

[vdidier1]

Trop, trop bien!!

[oatmealgod69]

Fucking small minded people blaming Peter for the unfortunate deaths of those poor people, he was not the company's employing them, who did not provide them with the correct training, driven by greed to rort the system, you cannot blame him for this mess, look at the other rorts that are being uncovered...Fucking greed thats the killer!

[aussiebluemax]

@oatmealgod69 australia these days runs on greed ,greedy governments state and federal greedy local councils greedy power and phone companys greedy developers and real estate salesman it just goes on and on and on . not much to be proud of these days the old australia is gone and the new one does not have a bright shiny future.

[frans1012]

@oatmealgod69 yeah agreed he really did care the whole reason for the insulation thing was so people would reduce carbon emission by not using the air condition, unfortunately people in this country are fucked up and a ridiculous amount of people were rorting the system.

[strawberrymalt]

Companies will go down. Petes about to perform with his heart for Australia and all!!

[candidavi]

I like this song, very, very, very much!

[fletchers4]

For all the people who hate Garrett - He is a good man, he may do some things that seem wrong, but you can't do whatever you want in politics. If you could the world would be a very different place. Garrett is a good man & does what he can.

[jmvillacio]

Dont care what people think, the oils music and lyrics are one of a kind, generations will hear about them and australian music. go peter

[MrPerfect2You]

These pussuies are a disgrace to the baddest Tribe on the planet

The Tribe of the White Man -

these fags are pussies

[mangozumo]

didjeridont.

[bodurovic]

oh Peter why would you wana become a pollie.Look at them blamming you for what happend.

[OneInchManTV]

@bodurovic well because he's a true activist and the bitches here are just moaners unsatisfied with their lives :D
