Midnight Oil - No Time For Games - LIVE 1982

Capitol Theatre 1982.
Unbeknownst to me I posted this thinking that it was from the 1980 Nightmoves concert.
It is in fact from the 1982 Capitol Theatre (Sydney) show. )(OOPS!)
This, and another legendary performance on Goat Island (1985), has been released on a CD/DVD collection entitled "Best Of Both Worlds".
So far, The 1980 show at the Melbourne Showgrounds hasn't been released in its entirety. We can only hope...

I believe that this is the Capitol Theatre show from 1982

[RettroDood]

OOPS! (gulp!!)

You are indeed correct, gman!

Thanks for the "heads up"!

Google tells me that the entire concert has been released commercially, together with the Goat Island concert. (The Best Of Both Worlds).

I'll pull the vid shortly. (...and buy me the DVD set!)

Cheers.

In 2001, I watched this clip from my 10,000 watt r.s.l. dvd to get psyched up for the Oils show I was going to later that night. And holy shit they actually PLAYED IT. It was a lot slower than this, but it still rocked the house. I couldn't believe that they played something from Bird Noises, what an awesome night!

Nothing beats the last 2JJ concert at Parramatta park when Garrett sung I dont wanna be the wog instead of I dont want to be the one...people got beat up ....onya Pete how do you feel about it now...you also sunf Fraser why dont you get fucked - now your a pollie and Fraser has become a human being.

The truth is that in these years Australia had record youth unemployment the CES and DSS were a sad reality for young people.

I was there, up in the balcony on the right hand side. Wish I was back there right now.

This song is their best ever.. I played this 1000's of times-no kidding from when I first heard on Bird noises in 1987 but this live version rules!!! I get goose bumps still hearing the guitar riffs after 23 years. My sons (2 and 3) play air guitar and no one dares to talk during the lead solo!!!!Max the volume and ENJOY!!

Here's a real transpotter analysis of where this clip came from. I think this clip and one of Lucky Country from this show were aired on Nightmoves, subsequently these clips were picked up for the 20,000 Watt RSL DVD/VHS in 1997. Then in 2005 they were remastered along with what could be recovered of the Capitol Theatre concert for the Oils On The Water DVD along with the Goat Island Show. Unfortunately a lot is still missing, the "truck mixes" were songs without video from this show

As I alluded to earlier, this is one of Oils greatest songs. As good as the version on Bird Noises is, this is craps all over it. The chorus is so powerful, so passionate that it still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck 25 years after seeing it the first time.
