Midnight Oil World Tour

I’ve been an Oils fan since the 80s after being introduced to the band by my friend Richard. During a concert at Memorial Drive in Adelaide, we lined up early and ran to get a spot at the front and centre of the stage, as this was in the days of being able to walk. During one song, Peter Garrett, jumped off stage and stuck the microphone in Richard’s face. While they were singing together, I did what I thought was the obvious thing to do, and I rubbed Peter’s head. It was hot and sweaty, and I didn’t wash the hand for days, and I love telling people about it. After hearing about the Midnight Oil World Tour, I wanted to attend ten concerts around Australia and settled for four. Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney.

See my post here that shares how the visits were possible although I have a disability and use a wheelchair. This blog shares images and videos of the concerts. Thank you to Eric, Madie, Ben and Jasmine for attending the concerts with me.
