Powderfinger - Passenger

[@emmbee444]

No doubt one of the greatest bands to have existed and I believe their limited fame contributed to their greatness.

[@RichardOliver]

I know what you mean. I am a UK fan. Saw them a few times over here. Love this band. Just listening to this makes me realise how much they mean to people and how good they were.

[@theprinceoftides6836]

Exactamundo, they did not overstayed their welcome.

[@NxDoyle]

Clearly there's more than one metric, so.

[@nicoletipton5026]

Well she's a junkified unit always had been so yeah that is part of the limited success etc only 1 of her solo songs r any good...

[@lukejacobs5885]

Yes they didn’t stop living there lives This definitely helped them make good relatable stuff for everyone

[@OhhShakeItBaby]

3:08 - 4:40.....one of the all-time great choruses in Australian music....they just go for it....bloody hell they pull it off. What made Powderfinger so good was their musical tastes (Zep, Stones, Neil You, Beatles) and great talent - a wonderful combination. I grew up in Brisbane, Australia, and the 'finger were on and off the radio for a solid two decades with wonderful rock songs. They're up there with Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil and the Skyhooks, imo. Thanks for the memory guys...

[@PippiGallagher]

2023 and I'm still listening to this brilliant song!!

2024

[@11vec]

Now this is what you call real aussie 90's music from powderfinger I love it pete

[@LizEarthAngel3]

Still my favourite band for 28 years! So lucky to have seen sunsets tour, songs never get tired of listening too

[@vc8160]

The reason I became an airline pilot! Sometimes I still listen to this song, when I am on layovers. It humbles me and makes me feel extremely grateful for my life and my journey!

[@suzanneduncan9807]

how great are powderfinger

[@nunyabusiness4800]

Like a 2 out of 10 for me

[@MrRoadratz]

Bloody great tune still to this day.

[@dariowestern]

Can this video get over 1 million views? It's certainly one of the best ever rock songs to come out of Australia in the 90's.

[@karenglenn6707]

Oh my I miss these guys so much!!!

[@thegreatslothlord7796]

This is the song that got me hooked to Powderfinger many years ago.

[@Toughski]

Me too!!!

[@christophersmitham8790]

Bloody oth mate

[@anthonycoe.5426]

Same same

[@kosmic77universe90]

I liked them then this song came out and it made me LOVE THEM!!!

[@iansmith4837]

best band to come outta brisbane, good shit right there,

[@vivg4369]

Best Aussie band ever.

[@ShapezPuller64]

i love the fact that they give so many shoutouts to Brisbane (eg. the orange taxi's in this, the QR train in 'My Happiness' etc.) but they are still subtle about it. you don't get bands like that these days :)

[@adrianpooley4901]

They even have an album called "Vulture Street" (which is the street outside the Gabba) and the former name of "South Bank: station near Kangaroo Point and Woollongabba

[@evanaskew6652]

Fuck. I didn't know they changed the name of that station. That's bull shit.

[@goodshipkaraboudjan]

@@adrianpooley4901 It's also where the old recording studio was. The literally named the album off the street where it was recorded. One of the more well known streets as well I guess. Pretty cool that Vulture St is a stones throw away from the GoBetween Bridge (named after the band).

[@DabDabGoose]

ages like fine wine

[@stephanielee1261]

I was lucky enough to see these guys when my Mum took me to a concert when I was twelve years old. Their support was The Cat Empire, and although I found it scary and intimidating at 12 years old, it was awe inspiring and I am grateful for the experience. It made me the musician I am today. My mother was a drug addict, but she inadvertently gave me a passion for music, so for thatI am thankful. Every cloud has that silver lining. I may have been born an addict baby, but I have such an appreciation for music, and as far as I'm concerned, I am grateful for my gift, despite all the hard times!

[@wildpaulsgal]

The song that started my love for powderfinger.

[@Davez621]

Love that fleet of then-new AU Falcon taxis. That orange colour scheme didn't last long for Sydney taxis.

[@stoneclip999]

to comment i need to sign in that means this music will stop for a second or two till i sign in. as much as i hate cutting this music off, people MUST know how awesome powderfinger is! you live forever.

[@CrazyCessnaPilot]

wooo! Brisbane International!

[@Punk510]

Yes .. I was there. Amazing performance. Absolutely surreal. This video does no justice to the sound Powderfinger that night. It shadowed the show Silverchair put on . That night Powderfinger got my total respect. I heard their last show on the Gold coast as my factory was near parklands. Seriously. Powderfinger tore it up that night

[@MelanieHosny-mj3nn]

Life is a journey we're all but passengers i love this song

[@markjmaxwell9819]

These guys were huge and could do no wrong . So many bands that make a couple of good albums then fade away . Still the lucky country and we were lucky to have these guys .

[@itsame_th2283]

Covid exposed Australia for the joke colony that it is and always was. Here you are spouting your pride on a song and band that are absolutely lost on you. Its beyond embarrassing

Hi boomer, "artists" haven't made a couple of good "albums" in a long time. Also, take a look around.

[@sigmasmegma8514]

@@itsame_th2283 agree to a certain point, except Aussies have pulled far beyond their weight/population for a long time besides recent times. If you disagree, let me know.

Great song! Sensational vocals and music. Very creative video

[@thedcmac]

Australia’s greatest band. I miss them so much…. Counting down the days to they hopefully reunite

[@victorhawke8423]

My teenage son asked me what song he would like to have played. I replied 'Passenger'. After listening to it he said 'You have good taste in music.' There you go, bridging the gap.

[@user-qf7np4br4f]

my kids and I are always bridging the gap with music. love it!

[@michaelrowell7798]

I love the message that this song conveys, my favourite Powderfinger song. And the horns at the end are just electric, na na na na na na....

[@dariowestern]

The sax solo is legendary.

[@fredorico41]

Love the old AU Falcon taxi's, reminds me of younger times👍

[@andrewlyon5290]

Reminiscing, thinking back to the good old cover band days in late 90s/2000s. So many good pub memories with Powder Finger in the background. Can’t believe this song has 72k viewers only 😮

[@SirKGuido]

It's got over a million views, the 72k or so is their subscribers. Still both should be higher.

[@trisevo]

Internationalist was the best Aussie album of the 90's hands down

[@Toughski]

Hmmmm.... As much as I love this is album to bits, it'd probably be in the top 50 albums of the 90's...

[@Toughski]

#1 album of the 90's. That's too big of a call to make...

[@richardlesliewilson7475]

I love Powderfinger Classic, Intelligent Australian Rock, Thanks Boys. ...

[@jnew5923]

Definitely still one of the greatest

[@alassinsane1588]

Powder Finger would of had to of been one of the hardest working bands in the early 90's. They appeared to do more live gigs than most. This was one of my faves & I liked the video.

[@Evilushka]

Powderfinger and Magic Dirt, for sure. At as a youngster at the height of their fame, I appreciate all the all-ages shows they went out of their way to do. ❤
