I also first saw them in a theater here during the ESM tour and then caught them six times during their finale tours here in 2001 and 2002. I have a feeling they may play again at some point, though you never know.

They are one of the best Australian live bands to ever tour. I really hope they do another soon.WindowPainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136742751685552050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-89346010964674405732013-06-29T22:27:37.963-05:002013-06-29T22:27:37.963-05:00It's great to hear that you're also a big ...It's great to hear that you're also a big fan of Midnight Oil and this film. That's an excellent point about the band not having a chance to rehearse and jumping on stage to still do an amazing set. I'm really hoping they'll consider reuniting now that Garrett has announced that he's out of politics.

In a sense, it's actually not terrible that they didn't blow up huge after their few hits. There's always a chance it could have changed them. They were great right to the end, and I'm still holding out hope for some type of reunion once Garrett leaves political office. I'm glad to hear that you're also a fan.

Something that is lacking in a lot of bands that's on the radio or whatever is the hit on VEVO.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.com
