    They were untouchable. The Giffo period was my favourite. I show my kids this and the Capitol shows to show them what it was like. So many great memories of so many nights . Thanks for the upload.

      Totally agree -- their musicality is way beyond the typical rock guitarist, IMO. And they play with such apparent humility, yet they create a huge, beautiful onslaught of sound.

      @@MrPgrawe They were pretty big into guitar solos in the mid 70's. They were a weird cross between pub rock and progressive rock. When punk happened they just got rid of the guitar solos altogether. Save for like one or two per album. Their rhythm playing is very lead guitar-like to a degree when they are not going all jingle jangle.

    What's interesting about this concert is that Midnight Oil were testing out songs from Diesel and Dust about 5 months before they released that record. They actually hadn't finished writing them. You can see/hear them experimenting with different things and working through those now classic songs.

My daughter was still a baby then, and now she's a huge fan like me. Hoping they come to the U.S. for a proper tour and we'll both go see them. I never thought I'd ever have the chance to say something like that again! P.S: Dig out some oldies like Profiteers, Brave Faces, or Ned Kelly if you do!

    Watched this after watching 2004 and 2009 shows for disaster aid etc. The band was infused with a more wacky feel in the 80s, indicative of the time. By the 2000s they were rocking harder and straighter, less 80s sounds in their instruments. Always awesome but interesting to note development of live sounds.
