Midnight Oil - Capitol Theatre 27th November 1982 (1 of 6)

[@popgun5247]

I saw them in 1990. I have never felt so much energy coming from a stage before or since. Had there been a roof (it was an amphitheater), it would have been blown clean off during "Only The Strong." Best show I have ever seen.

I was at this very concert ... 16 years old I was ... up near the front ..... amazing experience!! Saw The Clash there too, same year ... still have the ticket stubs for both

[@free-turin]

Saw the Clash there too, up the front..didnt fully realise how legendary it was to be there back then as an 18yr old

I remember buying "Scream in Blue Live" in the early '90's at my local record store, plugging the CD into my car stereo, and being COMPLETELY blown away by the power of this band. Heard the hits before, of course, but this was something toally animalistic. So great to see the video now; it does not disappoint.

[@MichaelSmith-py3cf]

I was there that night as well up near the front & they blew me away!!! Over the last 30 years I have paid some big bucks to see some big bands & it really sucks walking out disappointed. The only disappointment I ever had at an oils gig was that unfortunately they couldn't play all night. Would love to see them reunite !!

[@rpwVideoInstruction]

Was privileged to have seen this band on Long Island, '94. Quite a sweaty crowd after they were through with us.

[@MichaelSmith-py3cf]

Well said rpw. Saw them in 93 in New Jersey. We were surrounded by people who had never seen the oils before. They were in a state of disbelief of the powered performance.

[@benwhite7781]

[@gregrush4948]

Saw them at the old Ritz Ballroom in the East Village in the fall of '85. They were incredible.

[@Malzarin]

Opening song, "Only the Strong" sets the tone! Great band at a great time!

GREAT SONG FROM A GREAT BAND

[@Anonymouspersonfrommichigan]

Underrated is one of the most overused words in the English language, but for this band it absolutely applies, at least in America.

[@maroualchicon1426]

"Capitol theatre" is a great tough live !

[@Quertis]

holy shit. that first track is totally rockin!

[@MyMusic-cd3do]

Giffo's rarely talked about skill - avoiding collisions with PG. Kudos to the roadie, too, putting his life at risk untangling the mic stand.

[@joshrathbun2928]

Love this Fuckin band sheer intensity!

Place without a Postcard.... More Auzzie than moove flavoured milk, Red Healers and Long Reef Bombie!!! With a conscience... Kudos Oils.. Great footage, Performance and Sound...

[@negfbjm]

@Greatfox200 Yes I have! I cannot stand film that plays too fast. You're the first person to mention it. And thinking back, I've tidied up the audio/visual synch by a few frames here and there.

[@Ctemple2012]

This was then they had a real bass player.... At their peak!

[@PhilipBurton-dn3ce]

The early days when they were a mind blowing band..for me it was all downhill after 10-1

[@idlevandal69]

Who would have thought one of these young men would have grown up to become a politician...
