Live on Later with Jools Holland 1993

[@malcolmlarri9073]

One of the most exhilarating live bands ever !

[@SarcazmosFunhouse]

Best live tv performance Ive ever seen.

[@andysmith6218]

Fuck me that was great! RIP Bones💖

[@malcolmlarri9073]

What a bass line ! It’s the heart of the song

[@michaelwebb5678]

You would have to feel truly sorry for whichever performers were booked to share that show with the Oils. Power and passion at the top of their game. What a band.

[@josephaltaha9352]

Been searching for this song! I saw them on SNL when I was a kid. The lead singer freaked me out, but I couldn't stop listening or looking at his performance. Great song man!

[@jamesbyrnes4989]

You're referring to Peter Garrett who is the lead singer of the band.

[@tago69mago]

Remember watching this at the time and being completely blown away how tight they were. They did this and 'My Country' which was also amazing. Great band who I got to see live in Australia in the 80's when I was visiting Oz. Oils fan from UK.

[@bi8968]

My goodness, what a performance

[@GDavis49]

Agreed!

[@jamesbyrnes4989]

Agreed. This is intense and Garrett's charisma, passion and electrified vocals and dancing make the performance all the more special to watch and let soak in. The message behind the song is very powerful much in the same way Biko or San Jacinto by Peter Gabriel strike a chord in the listener.

One of the great unsung bands from Australia in action. One of their best tracks ever...lyrically this song is superb. Hits the spot with everything going on in our world at the minute. The monarchy, the farmers...apt isn't it?.

[@kimrileymusic]

I saw them back in the day, they were fantastic

[@PapaCowboySr]

So did I. Twice in the late 80s

[@kimdawcatgirl]

This is the best live version of this I have found! These guys are fantastic! Wished I could have seen them.

[@PapaCowboySr]

What an amazing performance. First time seeing this version. Wow!!. The Oils just plain rock!!!!

[@alisatour2198]

They absolutely rocked it

[@foodog777]

The most stellar Oils’ performance ever imo! The Oils made catchy songs like this that only Australians could understand pre-Google. The first MI song I heard was “Kosciusko" which is Australia largest mountain I just found out.

[@jurajcagan5874]

This song is unreal! Best MI song, damn good hit!

[@bassheid]

Great band ,thoughtful arrangements /lyrics …this is kicking

[@carlosmartell8493]

Un gran lokoooo...un graan lider...me fascinaba este guey era unico

[@marct9808]

One of the best bands of all time...and as a 6'5" guy myself, from 3:42 onwards is a mirror image of how I got kicked off the dance floor of my high school grad party😂

[@6lillium]

Love love LOVE this!

[@Itelkner]

Jim looking like the Edge

[@JohnSmith-zl8rz]

even better than the studio version

[@Chorkaloopa]

I would NOT want to be the band who had to follow that performance.

[@andysmith6218]

Incendiary

[@alex1973martins]

Great
