Sadly I won't see Midnight Oil this tour (or ever again)
Midnight Oil had a short European leg on this, their supposedly last tour ever. But I was not able to see any of their shows and therefore I probably won't ever see them again. I saw them in the 90-ies though, on their Blue Sky Mining tour. When they played in Gothenburg, where I saw them, I was at the very front. The protective fence at the front was a bit oddly contructed as it large metal plates covering the front. When hitting them with our flat hands these plates essentially worked like huge drums. When the main show was over and we waited on the encore we at the front banged these plates as hard as we could. We beat a steady rythm while 10,000 people behind us to this rythm were chanting "MIDNIGHT OIL, MIDNIGHT OIL, MIDNIGHT OIL...". That was totally wild! /Ake
