Description
Midnight Oil are the 29 th act to throw support behind Support Act’s Roadies Fund through the Australian Road Crew Association (ARCA)’s awesome Desk Tape
Series. The Series was created by ARCA to raise funds to provide financial, health, counselling and well-being services for roadies and crew in crisis.
The recordings are made off the sound desk by a crew member. MIDNIGHT OIL LIVE at the OLD LION, Adelaide 1982 was recorded by Mark Woods, and is another
fantastic tribute to the great sounds engineers produced for the early Aussie pub rock scene.
The Old Lion show on Friday March 26, 1982 was part of a 2 week run through Victoria and South Australia. At that stage, the band were doing 180 shows a year, and firing on all eight cylinders.
ROB HIRST admits “I’m exhausted listening back to the tape, it’s relentless! We were, excuse the pun, a well-oiled machine, angry young men against the world”.
