It's hard to comprehend how far ahead of their time Midnight Oil were. In all respects, musically, politically, culturally, visually. One of the most important bands in the history of music worldwide for sure.

January 1985. I was there at this secret, invitation only (I got lucky) concert. It was really rather good... ;-) Simulcast the following weekend, meaning simultaneous TV and FM radio. Since then available on 'The Best of Both Worlds' DVD/CD set, which also includes their mind-boggling 1982 Capitol Theater in Sydney live show.

Midnight Oil's songs have been covered by performers such as Pearl Jam (and frontman Eddie Vedder solo), U2, Patti Smith, The Killers, Imagine Dragons, Silverchair, Tom Morello (as The Nightwatchman), Billy Bragg and Anti-Flag.U2 singer Bono recorded a speech for Midnight Oil's ARIA Hall of Fame induction, sections of which aired intermittently. He recited the chorus lyrics of their song "Forgotten Years" and hailed the outfit as an "extraordinary" band whose music "brought people's differences together; not to resolve them, just to get them in the same room, up each other's noses"

Greetings from Australia... so pleased that you promoted 'the oils'. They have been at the forefront of social political commentary and indigenous rights for ages. It was great seeing them perform in their 'sorry' t shirts at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. What about 'beds are burning', 'blue sky mine' or 'the dead heart'. Keep up the great work first Nightwish then Sabaton and now the Oils.... so love your international explorations.

Well done Alex. We may not like or appreciate a band but sometimes we hear something we did not expect and kudos to you. Midnight Oil are, in my opinion, a voice that represented/confronted so many political, environmental and cultural norms throughout their career (which is not over as I am old enough to have listened to them in the 70's as a teenager and see them live again in 2022). Watch 20,000 Watt RSL to get a bit of an insight, the Exon live protest live in New York, the support and recognition of indigenous Australians, confronting the asbestos mining companies and subsequent deaths and illness of miners ... blah, blah, blah. I watched this concert live in 1985 and dance my ar$e off with my mates and Peter lol Like your channel too guys. Cheers from Australia

Just jumping on our valve wireless dial up Aussie Internet,(with backup pigeon post) to thank you guys for featuring our beloved Oils, a national institution in these parts. It would be nice to see some other reaction channels "discover" their back catalogue. Peter Garrett's political career lasted for 9 years (2004 - 2013). btw, the band have reformed and toured extensively until 2019, with Covid halting everything from 2020. They released a new single "Rising Seas" in 2021. Looking forward to more, cheers from Sydney.

I saw him in a Qld pub with a performance area of twice a normal lounge room over here... and from the first beat, he was concert volume!!! Half way through the gig, he proceeded to play a drum solo on EVERYTHING in the pub. He just wandered 'round playing window frames, mike stands, empty glasses, tables. It was a treat to be there!

Live, they were full of energy, but their music was great on the albums, too. IMO early Oils was their best musicianship, peaking with 10, 9, 8, ... They toned down a lot after that. Unfortunately, most people only know the Oils from their mid to later catalogue.

@@TheThamesmen , yes - mess! We had a t.v. commercial some years ago, for a pre-wash stain remover. With a sequence of typical stains that we often get on tablecloths and clothes, it ended with a bloke saying, rather mildly, "I've just been beetrooted." 😄

Is there an essential Midnight Oil album? the answer is YES. 10 to 1. This album with Back in Black by AC/DC and Cold Chisel "East" will show case what "Pub Rock" means to Australians.
