hard to believe it has been almost 11 years since they performed this music ! i think they nailed every song they did that night - absolutely perfect -
I think it was Brian Wilson who said that he could not believe that The Beatles' music did not stop the war in Vietnam. Obviously naive, but I can't help but feel something similar when I hear this song... "Got more rights than people". Pretty much sums it up.
I am a mexican living in Guadalajara Mexico. I listen MIDNIGHT OIL since the late 80s. love a lot their music with sense. it really touch my feelings. HOPE THEY SHOW UP SOME DAY HERE IN GUADALAJARA. The best CD I got DIESEL AND DUST. THE 2nd one best I got is EARTH AND SUN AND MOON. KEEP ROCKING GUYS.
I am an African American guy from a small town in North Carolina and their music is still amazing....thanks so much for posting this....This song has so much behind it!
WOW! One of the best songs by one of the best bands of the last 30 years. And what an extraordinary performance! Every up-and-coming band should watch this video, listen to the song and LEARN. This is as powerful, inspiring & real as rock 'n' roll gets.
I'm American and I say fuck the US politic's, Fuck Australia's politics, and fuck whoever else's politics.. and just enjoy the Goddamn song.. Good Lord!!
Midnight Oil is one of greatest bands of all time..
A totally awesome song! It tells the ancient stories of oppression and injustice. One day, the weak will rise and become strong again and the ancestors will again sing and the buffalo will come home!
All you morons who think Obama is going to change the world need to grow up. He's a politician! He serves the interests of mostly different powers than Bush, but he serves them none the less - and not on behalf of everyday people.
All you morons who supported McCain, wake up and realize your candidate lost because people finally woke up and said, "We're not standing for this anymore."
You are a moron. I'm blocking you so don't bother replying.
No need to worry about me sending stuff to your profile , i am man enough to post my comments here for all to read , bloody Americans all talk and no action ,no wonder you got your ass handed to you in Iraq, just look at all your casaulties versus ours. and yes we have mates there as well because your potus can't do things right, the one coming in is no better.
only a moron would come up with that . this song has nothing to do with your garbage going on in the unites states. this has to do with here in australia.get your own fight song
I believe the Obama mass following cult like seances have gone to your head.I was replying to your use of this song to reference that is has anything to do with Obama...it is you who are disillusioned mate.
read mother fucker "atoosas has posted a comment on your profile:" you did post it to me you are the stalker .learn how to take responsibility for what you do .. but then again you americans are good at shifting the blame which is why you are so fucked up .....
I have seen dozens of their live concert videos and the one they did at the Newton has to be the best for vocals and instrumentals I have heard ! all 6 band members were on their game that night !
Deeply regret I did not see them when they played The Showbox in Seattle back in the day.
