Midnight Oil

G'day all,

Sound Relief was simply awesome. My brother and I were on Level 4 of the Ponsford Stand, and so stayed almost completely dry for all of the day (except for getting to the 'G and the occasional bit of spray from the wind. The rain didn't seem to dampen anyone's spirits though.

I thought it was incredibly respectful of Kings of Leon to not play "Sex on Fire", all things being considered (their gesture was somewhat undermined by Sound Relief itself showcasing the song during their video spots).

So many great moments. Liam Finn is a freak, but we got a few Crowded House numbers out of it.

And now I have finally seen Midnight Oil live! Just incredible. During the day, I'd been hoping they'd include Sometimes, but I figured probably not, since it isn't as widely known, and they finished the show with it! Absolutely awesome!

Saw the show, bought the T-shirt, looking forward to the DVD (and it's good to know that those of you overseas could follow along using the technology).

God bless,

Matthew Wightwick
