Powderfinger - These Days (Final Live Performance) THE WOLF HUNTERZ Reactions

[@DebraBing]

This makes me really teary. For Australians Powderfinger, like Crowded House are one of those bands that have been a part of the soundtrack to our lives for so long, it's hard to imagine that they won't just always be there. We're very emotionally connected to them because they're musical family. We love them.

[@marieantoinette1360]

Add to that this song at the end of the film Two Hands!

[@AndyViant]

I'm crying before I start this song. Huge.

[@nicholaslongford-solopage4476]

Me too

[@tK-be6ns]

I think I have seen and will see too much of the soundtrack of my life disband: Crowded House, TISM, Silverchair, Powderfinger, The Cat Empire....

[@atheistdingo6273]

this was 11 years ago you knob.

[@romulopielli]

I’m Brazilian. Discovered them through a friend who’d traveled to Australia and brought me a cd. Became a fan immediately. A couple of years later they announced they would quit after a farewell tour. I simply found a way and flew to the UK taking 5 crazy friends who also hadn’t known the band to see their show. 6 of us, front row jumping like there was not another day. In the end, Darren came from the stage and gave me his guitar pick. So, yes, they see our emotions from up there!

[@kayelle8005]

Oh how fantastic of you to make that happen

[@TrojBlu]

Dei here (who requested the video). Wow! Glad you enjoyed the concert! It's weird that there seems to be such a connection between Australian music and Brazil. Other bands like Silverchair are as loved in Brazil as they are here in Australia. The fact that both our countries play sport under the green and gold colours. The more I learn about Brazil, the more I love the country and people!! Who would have thought our cultures were so similar?

[@romulopielli]

@@TrojBlu Tks for the words! I cannot explain, just agree with you.. Not sure if it’s the colors, the beaches, the warmth of both peoples or even the taste for barbecue lol. I simply love aussie rock (hoodoo gurus, men at work, ac/dc, midnight oil, silverchair). But all those bands were played around here. I question myself how come Powderfinger never made it here. No question that they would have been very successful among us.

[@TrojBlu]

@@romulopielli I think maybe it is all of that. There is something about the sun and the beaches that frees us from a lot of the worries of other countries. There's a joy in nature, and that translates to a joy in music. The more exposure I've had recently to Brazilian culture, the more I love it. I'll admit, nothing will come between the Australian/New Zealand relationship... but Brazil comes VERY close! I hope you also enjoyed the Silverchair Rock in Rio reaction!

[@romulopielli]

@@TrojBlu I wasn't there in 2001. But I saw them on the TV as it was broadcast live. About NZ, no hard feelings lol. I love both countries without ever having been there. Gotta go and see for myself someday, though.

[@785boats]

One of the saddest days in Australian music when these guys disbanded. They have an amazing body of work that really deserves a good look into guys.

[@rebeccatiedgen8093]

Wow this took me back to a happy/sad place!! I’m the crying girl you paused it on during the video! You are 100% correct that I am a fan from the beginning which was 1989 right to the end in 2010. By far my all time favourite band! When they disbanded, it broke my heart. They said they had done all they could together musically. Many of us disagree but I respect their decision. They wanted to go out on a high also. The name is a Neil Young song “Powderfinger” Loved your review! I’m glad you enjoyed Powderfinger!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@kaafromoz]

Rebecca Like you I have and still am a huge fan of Powderfinger I am actually 3 rows back from you and when they paused the video on you I could just make out my teary face in the background. Such a brilliant yet sad day for us all who were devoted fans, and I always hoped they would change their minds and regroup again one day we can only hope dear Keep Safe Keep Strong

[@karenglenn6707]

I fully get what you’re saying. All of these years later, watching this makes me cry still. Loved this band, how lucky are we as Aussies to have this kind of music!! That wonderful stream 2 years ago only made us want more.

[@scottcoolum]

Best concert ever , despite the bit of rain . And I was able to buy their nights last performance on a CD as I left ,,,,, Happy days 🙂

You are a legend, touched this skippy soul...much love to you champion. X

This song is fundamentally about living with and overcoming depression and feeling that your life hasn’t worked out the way you thought It’s was and remains such a big song in Australia that it actually helped a lot of people and the country as a whole open up on mental health A lot of aussies are still alive today because of this song

[@Quokka666]

yes but all so sums up how hard it is to live down under

[@SH-qs7ee]

It was also in the one of Heath Ledgers earlier film roles (Two Hands) and was played at his funeral as well.

This song is beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@Pomdownuder]

The band's name came from the song "Powderfinger" by Neil Young first released on his 1979 album Rust Never Sleeps.

[@Bobsyagod]

Bernard Fanning kept going for a bit solo. The 90's were huge for bands in Australia, also worth checking out Silverchair, Spiderbait, Grinspoon, Something for Kate, Jebediah, Eskimo Joe, Living End. Regurgitator

[@nitahepa7106]

I was at this final ever Concert in Brisbane & it was so emotional when they sang "These Days" - I cried & almost the entire crowd of thousands was crying or at least teary .... Powderfinger are a Brisbane start-up band so all us Brisbanites are so proud to claim them as "our" band .... 😊😊😊 .... but they are so loved all over Australia .... 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 .... 💯💯💯 .... "These Days" would have to be my fave eva song by The Finger (their nickname here in 🇦🇺) but all their music is AMAZING .... have loved their music since the 90s .... they're just a class Aussie Band .... GO THE FINGER!!!! 💜💙💛❤🧡❤

[@nicolecrichton9654]

Thanks for watching so many Aussie bands. I’m really proud of them and Powderfinger is one of my favs.

[@reggycide]

"The Day You Come" first got me hooked on Powderfinger. I then discovered an amazing back-catalogue. Vulture Street is an outstanding album as are many others. Bernard Fanning has also had a stellar solo career.

[@Rubytuesday1569]

The saddest day when these guys stopped making music. Such a poignant song about life. Tears every time.

[@sindelismsucks2968]

Yeah, you could really hear how emotional Bernard Fanning was getting through this. Great band, great reaction

I’m so happy I got to follow these guys for the 20 odd years they were around

[@paulrodsted3905]

Powderfinger is one of our most awesome Aussie bands.... There are so many to choose from

[@nicp2039]

Interestingly this song was never supposed to be on an album, was only on the soundtrack for two hands starring Heath ledger, and was voted the most popular song in Australia that year. They decided it better go on an album after it was so popular

[@wce_fan]

I didn’t know that!

A great band. I was particularly impressed by both of you. You were incredibly enthused for someone having their first listen to Powderfinger. You were very respectful and I enjoyed watching your reactions.

[@icehouseiva]

How iconic local Brissie band and the end with the picture at the end with the Story Bridge off in the back ground.

[@jspettifer]

Powderfinger were so big in Australia that in the 2002 Livid festival, they got top billing over Oasis

[@arconeagain]

And you weren't fooled by marketing at all.

[@bobhawke7373]

@@arconeagain No it was so Oasis would have a crowd. If oasis played after powderfinger in Australia, half the crowd would leave after powderfinger. The world tried to convince Australians Oasis was great but we simply went “yeah they’re not terrible”

[@arconeagain]

@@bobhawke7373 it's all pretty lame really, and I know the history of Oasis, I was there. I also know the history of Powderfinger. Sure, you get a crowd to see them, of course they're not going to be interested in whoever follows, or leads. This is also because of the bogans, the one's that latched on later when Powderfinger became more commercial. The one's that watched Two Hands much later and were exposed to Triple M's hammering (Triple J do it now). Besides, Oasis were an international success band, Powderfinger... well hardly.

[@bobhawke7373]

@@arconeagain The debate if who should headline is the band who has more followers at the gig. In Australia that was powderfinger, not oasis.

[@arconeagain]

@@bobhawke7373 no you don't understand my initial point and how promotion really works. Oasis total record sales 41 million. Powderfinger 2.5 million. You can't see the forest from the trees my friend.

[@jemxs]

What a great reaction to some Aussie treasures performing for the last time. I don't know exactly why they broke up then, they were still hugely popular and at the top of their game. I guess a good time to end on top! Bernard Fanning (singer) has had a very successful solo career. Also thank you so much for watching the video all the way to the end and letting the emotion continue.

[@rubyredjeans]

Yes exactly, that’s why they finished up when they were at the top, because they didn’t want to become old and stale. They said they didn’t want to be one of those bands that keep making music just for the sake of it and end up creating bad music. 🙂 I totally get why they did it, as sad as it was when they disbanded.

[@cdyoutoob]

I was at a Canberra Powderfinger and Silverchair concert, just after the height of Silverchair's popularity and every single element of Powderfinger showed they were in an entirely higher league. The lyrics and tone are a true catalyst to the aussie character, I so wish they'd reform.

[@jayneross6123]

It's great to see a lot of reactors have found Australian music. So many great songs to choose from. Thanks for your enthusiasm.

[@mattandallthings]

We were so lucky to have them and Silverchair around at the same time. Australian bands historically punch above their weight.

[@clairash2004]

I was lucky enough to see these guys at The Big Day Out festival in Perth in 2000. They are freaking amazing live. I saw them right after Coldplay and they blew them out of the water.

[@lostpilgrim4275]

Bernard fanning did a version of this solo in a tribute to the 2002 Bali terrorists victims. It is one of the most emotional and haunting performances you will ever see. Still gives me chills thinking of it. Worth watching

[@mikakamppi4826]

They were together for over 20 years and all five write songs for artists around the world, they just wanted to do something different. Although they do come together to perform at music festivals so good on them, I live 7 houses down from their recording studio, great guys.

[@rubyredjeans]

It wasn’t because they wanted to do something different, they said in their press conferences at the time they didn’t want to be one of those bands that keep going on forever making music that eventually becomes old and stale. They wanted to finish up on a good note (excuse the pun) with their reputation still intact as a great band who made great music. Look at Queen now…playing around with that kid who can never replace Freddie Mercury - a perfect example of what they didn’t want to become.

[@-sandman4605]

That just brought back some really good memories. 👍🤓🇦🇺

I was lucky to see them during their final tour in Sydney, the singer Bernard Fanning continued as a solo artist. Rumour has it Powderfinger will reform, let’s hope so

I'm English, but emigrated to Oz in 1993, didn't take long before powderfinger became and still is my favourite band of all time, I've seen them in Brisbane on vulture St tour, in Manchester and in Dublin, I was also there for that last concert in Brisbane, 2 days after returning from a spell in UK 2010, it was so sad and all us powderfinger fans I think are still devastated. They did a lockdown reunion, 1 night lonely, it was great, I just wish they would reform !!

Well done to you guys continuing with the video for so long after the song finished.

[@jadecawdellsmith4009]

I didn't think an American could really appreciate this performance & what it meant but I think u got it. The lyrics,if u listen r relatable to most people but the fact they went out when they were still riding so high- we didn't want that! Too soon! Soundtrack to many Aussie lives, MY HAPPINESS probably got them mainstream exposure & worth a listen.

[@samdiego1046]

Can’t watch this without tearing up. Powderfinger are adored here in Australia and for good reason. They came back together (virtually) to do a show during the earlier days of COVID just to give us all something to enjoy. They are unbelievably special.

[@reddog5378]

I remember watching them Tuesday nights from memory at a pub in the Valley on open band night back in the early nineties or late 80's.(Hazy chemical memories of the time) No one knew of them, can't even remember what they called themselves but I will never forget their raw unrehearsed sound playing as mates for the fun of it all. They drew the crowed right from the start.

[@mikakamppi4826]

Weren't they called Econodogs before Powderfinger?. I seem to remember that name.

[@reddog5378]

@@mikakamppi4826 Not really to sure to be honest. You're probably right, the only one I remember the name of is Bourbon Street, Goldie locals from memory. They played a few nights in the valley but mainly the old Patch bottom bar Tuesday nights in Coolie. The lead guitarist Horace was a master at doing leads with his teeth. They ended up doing alright for themselves after a name change, Bourbon Street was already taken. And The Ramjets from the Cabarita and Pottsville.

Why are they calling it a day? They're musicians more than they're rock stars. Being present in the day to day lives of their wives and children was more important than fame and fortune. Mad respect.

[@wendellburkhart8297]

Wow ! I've never heard of these guys but Man ! That's so Beautiful. This song brings the bands feelings to the outer core and they give there fans probably one of the best performances ever in my opinion and anyone that this song doesn't touch is out of touch with everything . This is absolutely a phnominal performance . And one more thing... Jimmy Barnes is my absolute all time favorite singer in this whole world and again I live in the United States. Kentucky as a matter of fact and say what they want but these Hillbillies knows how to Rock N Roll or the most of them does .

[@neumanmachine3781]

Thanks for reacting to this- I was at that concert and it was a special day. One positive thing that did happen a few years later in 2013 was that the lead guitarist Ian Haug joined the greatest Australian band of all time (who he was a teenage fan of) The Church, as a replacement for Marty Willson-Piper who had left after 31 years in the band. So far Ian has made two albums with The Church and has fit in well. It’s well worth checking them out - try a live performance of Miami if you like Harmonica.

[@dannyharvey7398]

According to an interview I watched with Bernard Fanning, Powderfinger called it a day while they were on a high trajectory. He felt that it would be hard to maintain, from where they were as a band, the level they felt they had achieved to date. Basically, he wanted to finish on a high rather than feel it was sliding down the other side. Not all band members agreed, but without the full commitment of all members it was unable to continue.

I went to crowded houses last concert at the opera house Sydney (free) and there was some band called powder finger kicking it off! Jan 1996 I think. 4 years later powder finder was a regular CD on our road trips 😀

I actually like their early stuff like 'Like a Dog' and any songs from Double Allergic album than a ballad like this, but it's a great classic ballad, with Barnard Fanning's delicate voice complimenting it. They are not flashy instrumental-wise but has the unmistakable sound that every great bands have. BTW band-maid has been putting out more live videos for you to react to if you like. There are more great aussie bands, such as ac/dc, cold chisel, jets, silver chair, tame impala, etc for you to check out. 😉

Powderfinger "broke up" back in about 2010. I went and saw them during their farewell tour, and one of the bands that was opening for them was Jet, who were huge all around the world at the time... but even they had to be a supporting/opening act in their home country. Some other great Aussie acts you might like are; The Butterfly Effect, 12 Foot Ninja, Karnivool or John Farnham.

This song featured on the soundtrack of a great Aussie movie called "Two Hands". It stars Rose Byrne (If you don't know the name, you have definitely seen her.) However, the breakout star was a young man named Heath Ledger. This is what launched him to Hollywood. Really recommend you see it.

[@theghost6412]

[@artycraftyalchemy]

As happens with some bands that go for a long time it became fractious. The lead singer Bernard had a popular solo album which caused tension. From memory when his wife had open heart surgery they only let him have two days off. There was one of the band members who was a bit of a slave driver and the others didn't feel heard. To the point where some of them have not been in the same room since. They did a quarantine performance of a few songs but they were each in a different location. They loved each other like brothers but it got too much in the end. While I wasn't at the very last concert in Brisbane I did go to the farewell tour in Sydney and it was amazing!
