I saw this tour in NYC. One of the top 10 concerts I've seen in my life.
Lucky you, twin towers across Brooklyn Bridge
This is a song that stays in your head rent free!
Love it!
Saw them live probs over 20 times, maybe more, got to meet Rob and Jim at a local gig not that long ago... Almost fainted with excitement.. Far Out. ha X :-)
Hi, Susan Stacey! From Kevin Stacey in Eugene.
Saw Midnight oil at the Horden Pavillion in 1987. The atmosphere was Awesome and very different in those days. I think someone was pouring buckets of water over Peter Garret and he was dancing his usual dance. We were sitting up the front right next to him. Great memories ❤️
Listening this again with the war in Ukraine raging, we really do have short memories. Will humanity ever learn, or will it all end with a big light flash? We just can't seem to get along.
And Now Gaza!!!!😓😡🤬🤯
Big Flash.
USA is the holdout; we began with genocide, slavery, and theft, and never stopped. We hold the world back from better ways to live.
Great POWERFUL song that never gets old. Saw MO open for UB40 in the states years ago and their performance remains one of my favorites of all time!
Peter Garrett and midnight oil. You have made a difference in this world for the better. Whatever 'they' would like to have us believe...
Absolutely
One of the greatest songs ever!
GREAT song from a GREAT band.
You have a short memory. Do some research on Garret...
Fun fact, this performance was used in the 1984 movie One Night Stand. Good movie, would recommend.
Went to see 10 of your concerts in California through the years..
Really Rose ?
I have been to 11 midnight oil concerts .... FANTASTIC BAND
Hearing this song in Berlin this summer, a long jam section - Jim on piano dueting with special guest Carolina Eyck on theremin - was magical
We need a return to music that actually SAYS something, that screams into the hurricane winds of Mankind's history of bloodlust and lunacy. Midnight Oil was the PERFECT band for those of us who despise injustice, racism, nationalism and Mankind's rape of the natural world.
masterpiece
Giffo, the master of bass!
The best bassplayer of oils ever!!!
Peter Gifford the best Midnight Oil's bassist😃.
Cool to see early Oils like this
Apart from Peter's great singing most of what his singing about I remember, that lead guitar is absolutely beautiful thanks John
never forget history of pain .
An awesome and intelligent song. 🤘🤘🤘
With all the events that have been happening lately including the coronavirus pandemic, Midnight Oil has plenty of material to make another album.
Saw them live, with almost all lads there.
Most respectfully concert of all kinds of people...being happy in a Lucky Land🥲
what happened.....shadow of a country
Truly magic
Punk Rock without being Punk Rock. . Very very good.....lyrics at all. A great band....and they are all right...
way back in the early 80s, when they brought in simulcasts for radio and television (yes it was amazing then!!) it was so powerful to return to a university residential college just resonating with this song!!!!
+Jacqueline Lucas Kinda funny how ALL those Uni Students went on to become Tony voting, Herald Sun Devouring, McMansion owning, prolific breeding, out of control consumerist, uni funding cutting, refugee torturing, footy headed dumb fucks.
Long live the workers and solidarity ✊
You know they are underrated I swear
Legendary song!
I love the wrecking ball hitting the mirror, for the final chorus.
One of the best bands and songs. Bless The Oils.
A smallish man, Afghanistan
A watchdog in a nervous land
They’re only here to lend a hand
Short memory
Prophetic words.
I was at this concert
One great song from Midnight Oil 😄
short memory my fella!
"If you read the history books you'll see the same things happen again and again
Repeat repeat short memory they've all got it
When are we going to play it again
Got a short, got a short, got a short, got a short
They've got a short must have a short they've got a short aah
Short memory, they've got a".
This would have been hard to play live (like much of 10 to 1 and also Sails) but they nailed it - the vocals, absolutely solid.
Interesting to, see Rotsey the master of rhythm and riff, using freetime muffled noise on a Rickenbacker.
Rotsey played at least as much lead as rhythm across the Oils' career. His combination with Moginie was killer
I was 15 when this was released. Too young to be allowed to concerts , but saw them a couple of yrs ago anyway. Karma !! :)
wats done is done there still great musicians regardless, wish i seen them live
I wish I had seen them live to but they de-grouped before I was born
@@siobhanbrock8430 They're regrouped now
Cool tune!
A disturbing song from one of MOs best albums. In 1983 at the height of the Cold War there was a dreadful feeling that the world was slipping towards nuclear annihilation.
So relivant today m8.the clock is ticking.🤔
And here we are in 2021 feeling the same way 🥲
2022: Hold my beer
@@MsSez not even close, because we dont let the totally braindead mass media script readers dictate our feelings. im probably wrong.
@@berko79 Hold my beer whats that meam
this band was really like poetry rock, wasnt it . ..
It *is* * .. still and again :) so glad they are back
yeah from Guatemala!
Guatemalan from US.
The anti "We Didn't Start the Fire"
very good song only got in this band late
Better then never....
Go the Oils ❤
Thank you
Great video goes great with song
in essence this song is about collective learning disabilities and societys failure to learn from the past.
Goat island live concert 198??? best day out ever.
I think this clip might pre-date the Goat Island concert, which I think took place in 1985.
Don't want to be the one
Yah, a song that never gets old, but it should stop being true.
Right On - STILL
Still desperately seeking the official version of this video that was used to promote this song. It's their best, but Armistice Day and US Forces are pretty exceptional too.
Hercules 👍🏽
Very well doneb
Bad ass love it
💖💖💖
Rip brother..❤
DAYUM!
Although I a first gen Aus with a Russian Dad.....
GO GARRETT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sick sounds
Good summary of the G20 event...
Some who have held power have used it selfishly, even recklessly & have a lot of explaining to do both in this life & the next!
10-1 was a sliding scale to our own deaths destruction, Midnight oil made it easier to digest .
Keep it there Pete.
bikes fun work, bikes fun work... that was the order
tempo started slow then they sped it to where it needed to be.
everyone has a short memory.....
Trippy
👍
A UK police spokesman named Sean Memory was in a news item yesterday about a suppressed investigation of Edward Heath, for child abuse. His name reminded me of this song's title.
my countdown cassette was eaten up by an old Sony. that sucked. it's hard to find a copy of this album these days.
I saw Midnight Oil at Sydney University, at Manning House, in 1987 and after ten minutes of their execrable noise, the crowd cleared out. Seriously, the band played to an empty hall. But Short Memories and Wedding Cake Island made up for the disaster.
Aborigine- Look it up! They are always first in every country.
read about it!
in the intro i see trails
Americans will do a reaction to beds are burning, I would like to see them do this one
Nwo oil.
Most of the incidents referenced in this song I know but there is one I have been trying to find out about since I first herd this song. What is “the deadline in South Africa”?
Such a great musician. Such a woeful letdown of a politician.
Is there any other videos from this concert that are out there? If so, where can I find it?
They lost a lot when Pete Gifford left tbh
How much coal to power this?? Love it
2021 Building Nuke Subs in South Australia, Short Memory, right? Pete.
You ummm, yeah. Don't mind hitting the target. Nice.
everyone has a short memory.....such as my ex slot wife

Gareet has lost the polt
Peter, how short was your memory when you approved gunns Ltd, and the Port Phillip Channel dredging? And the many other decisions we voted you in for on the understanding YOU'D DO THE OPPOSITE? Oh, sorry, is this yesterday's news? No one remembers? Perfect. Carry on....
Murrangurk2 very true!
Well your a fuck wit for voting
You just focus on the negatives of going against a corruption.
He can’t control what the party does
hello, didnt know about this, port phillip dredge.
I spent a night filming the animals living in the drains going to stkilda beach last month.
Amazing but sad what still survives there in the filthy water.
The tide tries to go out. But cant, gets trapped by the dredged sands.
The animals keep trying to do there thing though, every night.
Thats why ive been filming it.
Politicians .!!!!!?
Long live Palestine long live arabia
I laughed at 1:14 when I saw all the pictures of political atrocities.
I wonder when the clip will get updated to include insulation batts and electrocutions...
ceri mccoy
Sounds like you've got a Short Memory.
No soul? forgotten about:
Matthew Fuller
Mitchell Sweeney
Ruben Barnes
Marcus Wilson
Garrett knew he fucked up, even tried to wash his hands of it and pass the scheme on to Combet.
No. I don't think that making a joke out of the death of people is right guarantee you I know my History better than you do. E.g. The Raj in British India have a chapati?
Your an idiot dude and UA-cam is Not the forum for trivialising anything and especially not people dying. Peter Garrett fucked up as minister that's for sure and those poor guys died but that shit happens all the time and people get away with it e.g. How many young aussie fellas died in wars for nothing and thats what this song is about besides which Midnight Oil was a band not a solo act.
People die in roof spaces I have been at work when a worker has died. If you in a roof space and don't no the basics of electricity shouldn't be in there but people will always send the cheapest labor in to do there work if your really that worried there still plenty young men working in dangerous places right now you can save other than talk shit on here. Just enjoy the song and go improve somebodys day.
***** the song (and lyrics) covers off a bit more than Hiroshima.
Good singer but should never have become a politician.
Bit hypocritical to be an activist themed singer only to bed up with the enemy.
50th comment not bout installation batts or whatnot..
Got 2 simple-arse words 4 ya, Matey :
DUMP
DRUMPF
Fearless chroniclers of imperialist oppression.
So much effort..for what?
Use to love the oils. But when they started to make shit up about history and blam us white ( or beige ) Australians for all the problems of black or beige people it just gave me the shits (ditto U2) this song which is very good is way off base with its insinuations and accusations to the listener white & beige!
Anti-Settler BS.
Peter Garrot - Labor and Davos man
Cool tune!
