Hey guys. Stop obssesing about Peter, it was the band that made them great. Rob Hirst is one of the best drummers ever! Moginie and Rotsey on guitar, Please! They were always political and there,s not many bands around that can say that. at least they tried to make a difference.

Wow, I haven't heard much early (pre-'87-ish) Midnight Oil. Sounds VERY New Wave, and I mean that as a positive.

[mosstrooper68]

all albums signed by the band, except P. /Gifford didn't sign 1st 2 coz didn't play on them!! After sound check at the 'Venue" . Played "Echo Beach" Awsome!!!

[MrJamesBond007]

OMG Rob Hirst looks so young! Fantastic drummer! I saw several Oils concerts in Adelaide during the 80's. Thanks guys! Oils forever!

[MrJamesBond007]

Apparently one person who watched this was totally deaf! No other explanation. This is PURE GOLD!!!

[TheFtocFactor]

Great editing on the video - and it is so good to find some tracks from Place without a postcard (I moved overseas, took only 20 of my 300 CDs - Place without a post card, Head Injuries and 10,9.8... are among the 20!

@crossy1963 Garrett is such a sucky sell-out.... that's a solicitor for you. Good band though.
