Very sad, Bones Hillman, bassist par excellence, with the great voice and personality has died at only 62, from cancer. He looks so well in this show, only a year ago. RIP big Bonsey.

41 years ago I saw Midnight Oil at The Royal Antler Narrabeen. I have to thank the boys from The Strand house at Dee Why for taking me to the gig.
It was late 1979, a warm night, people pouring jugs of iced water on each other and Peter Garrett's head, steam coming from the Lead Singer's bald cranium.
Their music and especially their lyrics have made THE OILS one of the most important Rock bands in history.
This new song ' Gadigal Land' is an instant Oils Classic.
Words cannot describe how much I love this track.
Sydney Radio station MMM played it every hour yesterday, so credit to them for that.
Before they played it the first time I was thinking " oh, I hope it's good "
I loved it from the opening chords, the thumping Drums, the throbbing Bass and Garrett's vocals delivering every word that is punching the Colonial invaders in the face.
Well done boys, this is excellent!

I am 65 and love this song. It is pure energy and awsome singing. I did three kicks in the air at my age. Out of the chair and rocking. Luv and best wishes.RIP. A great person and performer. Involved his fans in shows and everything to bring it to life. Thank You So Much.

Midnight oil? Paris? 2019? Wha?? I did not know Peter Garrett and co were still touring! Still as good as they were 30 years ago. These guys come from a golden era of Australian rock music. So many in the "pub rock" genre that many get forgotten. Good music and bands will forever live on.

They still sound great.
I've always loved the lead singers attitude with this song live..he really enjoys it
The energy is still saturated

[jennifersinatra]

A distanza di così tanti anni, quanta energia. Veramente una canzone immortale. E sempre al top sono loro, i Midnight Oil. Peter Garrett soprattutto! Bravissimi!!!
