Who the fuck puts an advert in the middle of a song
I was in that audience. 3 things I remember clearly... 1) how amazing it was to see one of my favourite bands ever, in Johannesburg, 2) the amazing irony of being able to listen to "Beds are Burning" in a recently post-apartheid South Africa, and 3) the one-armed didge player. This gig was incredible and the memory of it lingers sweetly

This would've been a great theme song for Peter Garretts Pink Batts scheme -Oh Wait. 200+ houses burnt down and 4 dead. Bout time he gave some of his back isnt it the hypocritical millionaire arsehat. Garrett and MO always sang protest songs about how bad corporations and governments were and how badly treated the indigenous were (which is an astounding lie when you look into it) and so instead of becoming an independent politician he joined Labour under arguably the worst Prime MInister Australia ever had. The Pink Batts scheme was allegedly to insulate peoples homes by installing fibreglass sheets into the roof. The policy was so badly designed and implemented a wave of dodgy installers came along got a bucket load of money of the government and incorrectly installed the batts and then disappeared. Garrett left Labour and went back to be a singer. And No he never gave anything back.

Aber die Botschaft stimmt, und jede Bewegung benötigt eine Hymne und wachrütteln. Der Song ist mir sehr viel lieber als alles, was eine Beyonce und Kate Perry und Taylor Swift gesungen haben.

An awesome performance by Peter,one of the best i've seen. Greetings from Norway
Midnight Oil's Peter Garrett has become the voice in my head. And hopefully with millions around the world.
This boy is a rock star but to me he looks like a strong tough fella. I accidentally watch this video and my memory went back to the 90s when the first time i heard this song on our favourite radio station here in Fiji fm 96 but couldn't workout the name of the song and the artists but now thanks to KZread i got it.
Would like to see the young people who were brought on to the stage, must be in their 40's bet they have happy memories of this night. Life passes so quickly
So spectacular! I love this song , the group, the lead singer, everything
What a great song, what a great band but what an awesome frontman - the charisma and performance of Peter is breathtaking
A strong message with an excellent beat and instrument.
I never thought I would see a more electrifying performance than Bruce Springsteen but I just did. I am stunned. That is the greatest single live performance of a song I've ever seen. Garrett is amazing.

The massive, syncopated bass fills in harmony with overlain synth horns drive the virtually sacred chorus, which instantly grabbed me the first time I heard “Beds Are Burning“ back in early 1988. I bought CD as soon as it became available. I was enthralled by the vocal and physical presence of their 6‘4“ lead singer, Peter Garrett, who is also a lawyer and may be a polymath, officially left Midnight Oil in 2002 to pursue a successful political and legal career during the next 20 years to pursue the civil and property rights of the Aborigines, as foreshadowed by “Beds Are Burning“. After retiring from MO in 2002, Garrett found time to perform with Midnight Oil several times on special occasions over the next 20 years.
Still listen 👂 to tha masterpiece 🙏 2k23🫶 n still longer😏
Wooow. The bass and drums on this live version is insane. I got lost for a while, took me way back when things mattered. Policy n truth. Love and hope. Midnight oil encapsulated it.
This man is nothing but PURE ENERGY, the entire Group is in SYNC, the audience is eating it up, AWESOME song, and he was once a School Teacher, WOW
I love it, the audience was really excited at this show. I like the fact that he brought up people from the audience to perform with the band.

One the very few Aussie musical acts that had something important to say. Musically brilliant. Superb live. Their recent and final album is a must listen, Classic Oils. All tracks are strong and meaningful. The opening track is a belter. Glad this band went along a different path and didnt sell out commercially.
