It wasn’t exactly logical trying to take a photo and video with an Ericsson GH337 in 1994.

[@owlmuso]

I was in that audience. 3 things I remember clearly... 1) how amazing it was to see one of my favourite bands ever, in Johannesburg, 2) the amazing irony of being able to listen to "Beds are Burning" in a recently post-apartheid South Africa, and 3) the one-armed didge player. This gig was incredible and the memory of it lingers sweetly

[@piteusx8440]

I love bands who give it their all and try to connect with the audience. You can feel the energy in the arena from the video.

Yeah that apartheid thing worked out well... civilization moved out and the lunatics couldn't run a proverbial piss up

I never thought I would see a more electrifying performance than Bruce Springsteen but I just did. I am stunned. That is the greatest single live performance of a song I've ever seen. Garrett is amazing.

[@voxac30withstrat]

This would've been a great theme song for Peter Garretts Pink Batts scheme -Oh Wait. 200+ houses burnt down and 4 dead. Bout time he gave some of his back isnt it the hypocritical millionaire arsehat. Garrett and MO always sang protest songs about how bad corporations and governments were and how badly treated the indigenous were (which is an astounding lie when you look into it) and so instead of becoming an independent politician he joined Labour under arguably the worst Prime MInister Australia ever had. The Pink Batts scheme was allegedly to insulate peoples homes by installing fibreglass sheets into the roof. The policy was so badly designed and implemented a wave of dodgy installers came along got a bucket load of money of the government and incorrectly installed the batts and then disappeared. Garrett left Labour and went back to be a singer. And No he never gave anything back.

Aber die Botschaft stimmt, und jede Bewegung benötigt eine Hymne und wachrütteln. Der Song ist mir sehr viel lieber als alles, was eine Beyonce und Kate Perry und Taylor Swift gesungen haben.

[@Dyanne-n3h]

I will never forget the first time I saw Midnight Oil live. It was at Great America in Santa Clara, CA. The crowd was really getting into it, when one of the security guards gets on the mic and tells us to sit down, stop dancing and listen to the music. That's when Peter Garrett went to the mic, and said loudly "let the people dance"! The guards never bothered us again, and yes, we danced!!!!! Peter was a hero!!!

One the very few Aussie musical acts that had something important to say. Musically brilliant. Superb live. Their recent and final album is a must listen, Classic Oils. All tracks are strong and meaningful. The opening track is a belter. Glad this band went along a different path and didnt sell out commercially.

[@skipacuff5104]

The massive, syncopated bass fills in harmony with overlain synth horns drive the virtually sacred chorus, which instantly grabbed me the first time I heard “Beds Are Burning“ back in early 1988. I bought CD as soon as it became available. I was enthralled by the vocal and physical presence of their 6‘4“ lead singer, Peter Garrett, who is also a lawyer and may be a polymath, officially left Midnight Oil in 2002 to pursue a successful political and legal career during the next 20 years to pursue the civil and property rights of the Aborigines, as foreshadowed by “Beds Are Burning“. After retiring from MO in 2002, Garrett found time to perform with Midnight Oil several times on special occasions over the next 20 years.

I lived and worked in Sydney from '92 - '95 and I met this guy at his house, he was in his garden sitting under a tree writing lyrics. Our furniture was still on the boat on its way over from the UK, so we were looking for an unfurnished house to rent. The realtor took us to see this guy's house but it was furnished and he wouldn't put his stuff in storage. He was off touring. I didn't have a clue who he was (Peter Garrett) and had never heard of Midnight Oil, Nice guy with shovels for hands! I can't count the number of times that I've played this track since! What a gig!
