Midnight Oil
April 20th 2010 02:05
The seminal Australian rock outfit, Midnight Oil reunited up close in the capital for two rare shows on Thursday March 12th and Friday March 13th 2009 at The Royal Theatre, Canberra (National Convention Centre).
The classic catalogue of songs, the crisp musicianship, and the one hundred percent commitment to live performance will as always be the hallmark of a Midnight Oil concert.
Midnight Oil delivered for over 30 years with a legacy of nearly 20 revered releases and countless epic live shows.
The last hit out for The Oils was headlining the landmark Wave Aid Tsunami Relief Concert in 2005 when they closed the show in a typically engaging and emphatic way.
Lead singer Peter Garrett has a short walk these days from parliament house whereas bass player Bones Hillman flew in from his home in Nashville. Rob Hirst, Jim Moginie and Martin Rotsey made the journey down to the national capital from Sydney where they’ve been busy writing, recording, performing, and producing various projects.
The full Oils crew and team reunited to crank up the juggernaut and invited all Midnight Oil fans to join in this rare reunion.
These performances delivered the full tilt Oils extravaganza the band is so well regarded for. An emotionally charged set packed with a powerful punch full of Oils classics as the band seized the stage.
