Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine - Sound Relief - MCG - Melbourne

[jeffersonironman]

F U C K YOU dertrommler54, Your nothing but a narrow minded, single celled, brainless idiot!

The oil's Rock!

[stevemarson]

the quality is crap u just put a camera in front of the tv - not even on a tripod - twit!

[dertrommler54]

Hello Aussies...so sorry to hear and see those dreadful fires..the satellite photos are just apalling. I know you've been in drought for some time, too. I know Peter is in the government, but that doesn't mean he can't play, right ?

I love the Oil...no band anywhere like them and we Americans need their sharp wit and political idealism. Are they reuniting ? Let's hope !

[angie4josh]

the Oils rock!!!

[db1coop]

KLOOT; do they have vaseline/cornstarch and de-cafe in your neck of the woods?Try some, perhaps you won't come off as such a chafing,obnoxious,crankpot.Che­rrio now,knock yourself out and mostly,hoop your forehead! GREAT SONG.

[nma225]

I may be wrong about this (feel free to corrcet me if I am) but I think that Peter Garrett is the only politician in the entire world who gets on stage and performs with a band to help people in need and get his message across. Maybe even to remind himself where he came from and what he stands for. Oils forever!

[amozartii]

I wish I was there! Hopefully the band will be inspired to regroup after this gig and hit the states!! LOVE THE OILS!!

[21reasons]

Same here!..but first they should make a stopover in Ireland!

Anyway, the background of this reunion is very sad. I wish all the best to those who were affected directly or indirectly by this tragedy...

[NMZD68]

I was there that night. Didn't give a stuff about the weather. The crowd really came alive with the enz and the oils. woohoo. Took me back to the 80's for a night but hell I felt every bit my age the next day hahaha. ached everywhere and no voice for the singing and screaming.

I took my kids for a night they will never forget. They knew all the songs.

[JeffChristopher]

How cool for you! My 3 and a half year old does a good Peter Garrett dance and blurts out Midnight Oil lyrics at the oddest times. I'd love for the Oils to hit California again: a rock band that you don't have to shield chlidren from! Good examples of Good people.

[pattonmc]

God Bless all the victims & the mighty Oils

[jhtcn]

awesome song... to bad its on TV. Nelgsta the song is called Blue sky mine. Not Blue Sky Mining just thought i'd let u know. YEAH PETER GARETT!

[nelgsta]

cheers! thanks for that, i've updated the name. can't believe the video had 10,000 plus views and no-one mentioned an obvious stuff up!

the flamers missed a golden opportunity to call me a nuff-nuff!

[jhtcn]

haha all is good. this is my favourite midnight oil song. thanks for the upload. have a good one mate!

[bandd123]

lol i love his dancing its very..unique

[crowChokers]

chicks don't dig him for his looks ya know ;)

[smelli1]

Really it what other country would the Federal Environment Minister be heading an act at a concert like this!! Gotta love Australia!!!! :)

[SylvieKloot]

No. You have no cause to be pleased.

The world is not impressed by Australia.

We know about that country and its vile racist government.

The lead singer is an Australian politician ... and is from the Australia First Choice government that attempted to ban immigration of Asians and Africans.

If tomorrow your country is devoured by the ravenous pacific, then the world must turn its back to the drowning rats of Australia, just as Australians have always done to the rest of the world.

[bloodynewbury]

so wrong. you are clearly a moron.

First Choice governement? what is that?

you have no idea.

[sport10s]

what r u on about ! u dont know anything about australia and it government i glad they r not letting people into our country that r small minded and ignorant!!!!!!!

[SylvieKloot]

There is a provence called NorthQueens FarLand (?) where the leader of the racist Australia First Choice party was in the same government as this singer.

The leader was racist and hates Asians Africans Aboriginals and any one who is not white European.

It should not surprise that hateful nation that they are them selfs a hated nation.

[2bornottoby]

lol @ SylvieKloot, u dumbarse, u should do a bit of research before u make an arse of urself >:U

lol @ u idiot.......hahahahahahaha

[clarky223]

You are a twit.

Dont bother posting

Care factor = 0

[nex2289]

Wow. Another wonderfully ignorant person.

1. The lead singer is a politican, for the Australian Labor Party, the first party to make efforts to reconcile with the indigineous people.

2. Midnight Oil's agenda has always been towards reconciliation and help to the people affected.

[nex2289]

3. The Australia First Choice government has never existed.

4. The politican that wanted to ban immigration of non-white people was a Pauline Hanson, which only ever gained one term of office and never attained govt. She is now no longer a politican is any way, shape and form.

[Robbo1313]

A shame your well written comment is so ignorant and wrong.

Vile and rascist? Ban Immigration of Asians and Africans? Australia a history of turning its back on the rest of the world?

Is this an April fools post? You cant be more wrong on all counts. I am surprised you haven't been flamed more by others. Your comments are ill informed, ill timed and insensitive. Your a disgrace!

[blackstardeluxe]

This was a fuckin amazing show! Pity he has to get back in Political puppet box..Awesome shit though

[mickymackatack]

im not garrett's biggest fan, but ill tell you know i was about 10 people deep in the mosh pit and he rocked the house guys... he is an AmAzInG performer!

[dybro2]

ROFLFUCKINGMAO

[jamesisapain]

i was five metres from the stage when they played this, it was fucking amazing :)

[SnuffyDumps]

I hate peter garett.. he approved the pulp mill in tasmania that will pump millions of letres of chemicals in to bass strait... and he can't sing anyway

[Plogs]

Snuff, you are wrong on two levels.

[demonsbutterfly]

]If you want to stop Pulp Mills we gotta stop Breeding People. We read Books Newspapers Offices use tonnes of paper everyday. Whats your solution. What should Pete have done??? The oils Rocked I was there.

[justin39a]

Thats you moncheej1974.

The inbetweenie generation that has no idea who the f**k they are.

[carcaspuce]

u gotta love Australia, go our enviro minister!

[lonsktube]

Garrett sticks it up the naysayer lefties as well as the uptight conservatives. What a fantastic show!

[pinnedblueeyes]

Garrett is a sell out

[Foundation1981]

Best live gig i have ever been too. The oils were unbelievable.

[SabastianScrivner]

my friend went to that :)

[wildmonkey4]

real bad quality doesnt do the band or event justice and makes finding the quailty versions of this event more difficult take it off man

[JohnEko]

Christ is it too hard to keep a camera still on a tv?!

[moulis05]

I was front row the whole concert and it was ALL good. The best performance of the night was the eirie hush of the G during the minutes silence. Overwhelming.

[powerfullchip]

Yeah. And the bloody people in Sydney were waving at the camera and jumping up and down during the minutes silence. They showed no respect at all.

[Cloughy12345]

At the MCG there were drunk bogans shouting and doing the "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" chant, it was extremely disrespectful!!! Then when kylie suddenly appeared it was creepy!

[CarNNNN]

the whole thing was for australia you idiot.

[crackers95]

yeah that "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie chant is disrespectful , The Oils still hold the stage what a band

[SquarkingCockatoo]

Garrett would probably approve the Blue Sky Mine if it was put to him as Environment Minister today.

Then in 30 odd years, another pollie would get a photo op with a mesothelioma victim and so it would all go around again.

He still has it as a performer, so stop the fucking charade, Pete, and go back to what you were good at.

[moncheej1974]

exactly!! He doesn't realise he's being used solely to prop up Rudd's popularity. He's been given a dudd portfolio!

The Clayton's environment minister.

[14bc]

Here here. Mad keen Oils fan over 20+ years and really disheartened by Peter Garrett the politician. All of a sudden Gunns is ok for Tasmania? It is the old adage a reputation takes a life time to build and moments to destroy.

[fred100446]

Too bad his legalising whaling and authorising pulp mills in Tasmania...

He did more for the enviroment before he went in to politics.

Bring back the old Garret!

[johncole1974]

Rudd was shrewd letting Garrett perform.

With one Oil's performance, Garrett has just lifted his government's approval rating by 5 points.

Garrett still has it. He looks good, sounds good and proves he's in touch.

The social lyrics of one Garrett tune is worth hours of speeches in Parliament.

What a government! A PM who goes to strip clubs and dances on tables, a minister who fronts a band. Man this government ROCKS !!! Compare this to former PM John Howard. This bunch are in touch.

[moncheej1974]

In touch?? I am not a Howard supporter but I think you just prove the point that they are a bunch of show ponies who play to the whimsical image over consciousness of the Y generation

[justin39a]

Just proves the point moncheev1974.

The inbetweenie Generation. Pretend morals but love money as long as it seems legit.

[GeeJayProductions]

if your a howard supporter, whos your dealer, cause they must be giving you some dud acid

[NoGoodNamesLeft64]

I was in the mosh pit at Melbourne... Oils, Wolfmother, Bliss N Eso & Liam Finn were my faves

[jewelrox]

i was there in melbourne and the oils were defiantely the best! then split enz..they rocked too.

[nerdnotgeekdotcom]

I know I've totally lost all my credibility - I was too tired to stay for Oils and Enz! Missed it totally =- thank got for youtube!

[munga0055]

sounds good.. but surely they have no credibilty !!

[jewelrox]

wateva mate.

[conc1469]

why wouldnt you vote labour

[popnfat]

listened to this lave at work last night. The oils totally rocked our bottleshop, lifted the mood lol

[warialdasue]

the Oils have still got it !

[jewelrox]

sure have!

[nickzor0704]

centre of the ground...was fuuuuucking amazing..

[nelgsta]

Surely a double disc DVD / Blu-ray of both concerts will be released within a week? I'll pay up to $60 and be first in line.

[jakeh56]

i watched the whole sound relief from 12 till 10:30, both melbourne and sydney and i have to say my favourite was when the oils came back

[Isabelnolonger]

LOVE seeing this again!!! Have loved The Oils since Place Without A Postcard was released. Rob Hirst is Australia's best drummer - still! Totally gorgeous. Peter Garrett is in a league all of his own.

[studiousgirl71]

Bring back the OILS they ROCK always have and always WILL !!!!!!!!!!!

[troppodude]

The Presets went off in Sydney but you just gotta look at the demographic of the crowd there.. all pretty much under 30. They werent gonna rock out to the hunters that strongly! Peter Garret needs to drop out of politics and get back to rock! He kicks ass as a rocker... as a pollie he is just awkward!

[duprie37]

this was amazing to witness - he's wasted as environment minister i reckon, bring back the oils lol. what a coup for the labor party, can you imagine a liberal party minister ever being a rock star?

[sloaney33]

thats just amazing......(jaw dropping) Long Live OZ Rock.

[stinkyshaun]

so love it....wanted to go, missed a ticket, and regret it.

[iamdaveoh]

I was on the front rail (:

[nelgsta]

big call... The Presets were great in Sydney... and Johnny with Coldplay was weird, but amazing!

[powerfullchip]

THE BEST MOMENT IN MUSIC EVER

[nelgsta]

garret has still got it!!!!!

[janie1961]

wow
