Summary: A Must Have
Review: This is a newly remastered DVD that, until recently, was only available in the PAL format from Australia. Now, you can enjoy it in all its new found glory here in the USA! Once you get past the frustratingly confusing selection menu you will be overjoyed to find most of Midnight Oil's conceptual videos, live concert clips, album info, short speaking clips, and a short film set in the Aussie outback with a native Australian band. Phew, have I missed anything? The video is razor sharp, considering some of the videos were made over 20 years ago, but the audio is spectacular, with its CD-quality sound! This disc is over three hours long, and it is a bargain. I wanted more of the Oils' speaking clips, as I found their talk nothing short of fascinating. Midnight Oil is an impressive band on record, but Peter Garrett is a figure you have got to see to believe! He's an amazing, imposing performer and there's no one like him around. You can't help but after viewing this disc, listening to the music and the Oils' talk, that they mean what they say, and back it up. Other artists may seem a bit preachy or insincere, but the Oils' message really does seem to come from the heart. Overall, this is a DVD that is a must in any music lover's collection, and a perfect example of how this type of disc should be made!

Summary: Good DVD
Review: You sure get your money's worth with this DVD! 20 of their promo clips; including US Forces, Power and the Passion, Blue Sky Mine, Beds Are Burning, and more! Each gets a message across and entertains you with Peter Garrett's Spasm-Dancing!There's also a collection of their live and Powderworks (The Oils' own record label) videos. Hear some of your favourite tracks live and in the flesh! On top of all of this, there's also the bands own commentary on their clips and the track listing for all their albums. As I said, value for money - this DVD is!
