This release is presented in a DVD style package.
With Peter Garrett concentrating his efforts on saving the Tasmanian wilderness, you could almost forget that he was once the world’s most captivating frontman, but the ABC are about to remind us with the release of a specially packaged CD/DVD set of two classic Midnight Oil concerts. Trust me, if you were anywhere near a Midnight Oil show in the 80s, you secured tickets immediately, because Pete and the boys were the most compelling act around. Best Of Both Worlds takes us back to the fiery prime of the act as a live entity, transporting us to Goat Island (January 85) and Capitol Theatre (November 82); back to the music of Place Without A Postcard; 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1; Red Sails In The Sunset; and Species Deceases (which I still believe is the best EP I’ve ever heard). I made the mistake of mentioning this release to the folks in the office and everyone stopped working to reminisce about the old days. It seemed that anyone over the age of 30 had a story of seeing the Oils in their prime. The Goat Island footage has been enhanced, remixed for stereo and presented in 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound. This is essential for any Midnight Oil fan but especially valuable to overseas fans that had no opportunity to see some of the classic Oils shows in Australia.
