Had this recorded from Night Flight or something like that on VHS years ago. This live version kicks all manner of ass.
-
@71hazy Man that's what they sounded like, every time. I saw 'em maybe 12 times, just like that, no matter what venue. Kooyong was fucking staggering.
-
Rob Hirst has no equal!! This whole band was so freakin tight and seamless. Brilliant musos!
-
This just enhances my regretts of not seeing this band live, the closest I will ever get was when the 2 guitarists from the oils joined cold chisel for a song at the chisel concert last week at Brissy, it was brilliant.
-
@yaelwass I have always thought the same thing, had a dance with pete a bit of a sing and left the stage, not too many bands would allow that either, it's a classic moment.
-
Great guest appearance from the audience. Adds to the performance and doesn't overstay his welcome on stage.
-
I thank Midnight Oil for giving me the base of political thinking...,I was 13 when I heard a report about them in the radio, and I started immediately to change my musictaste into their direction (New Model Army, U2....and so on)
-
@71hazy lol @ 'outdoor acoustics'
-
Fucking awesome performance. I remember the Goat Island concert well. To this day I wish I'd been invited.
Seminal Oils.

The Oils and promoters must have spent a shiit load on the acoustics. Just to make this concert sound as good as it is. These dudes have pride in their performances. Good on the Oils for not removing this from tha tube. Goes to show its not all about money.

This i one of the best live performances i've ever seen from any band in the world!!

His scream on the recorded version is classic. This whole song is like announcing to all the other rock groups in the world: 'you can't catch us!' Another demonstration of rock virtuosity no other band would dare try.
