Sadly I last saw them in Kansas City in 2002. Absolute killer setlist though:
  1. Bullroarer
  2. Too Much Sunshine
  3. Brave Faces
  4. Put Down That Weapon
  5. World That I See
  6. Written in the Heart
  7. Luritja Way
  8. Warakurna
  9. Beds Are Burning
  10. Now or Never Land
  11. Blue Sky Mine
  12. Say Your Prayers
  13. The Real Thing
    (Russell Morris cover)
  14. Hercules
  15. Golden Age
  16. US Forces
  17. The Dead Heart
  18. Dreamworld
  19. One Too Many Times
  20. Don't Wanna Be the One
I couldn’t have honestly picked a better setlist myself. Dead in the middle of the front row and 3 songs from PWAP!
 
It just doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks for all the memories to all list members, and to the Oils for making it all possible.

I rarely post, but always read the digest . I cannot express how much the Oils, their  music and 
keeping tuned in on Powderworks has meant to me. In 1980 my sister, who  emigrated to Melbourne,
sent me a vinyl of "10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1" and my musical horizons where forever changed. The
last times I saw the Oils were 3 shows in 3 days in 2011 (NJ,NY and Boston). This on the heals of 9/11,
effected me profoundly.
Thanks to all the Powderworkers for their participation and keeping the Midnight Oil burning. I have a
hoodie that I stitched the P-Workers tshirt (2-Sticks) logos to. I wear it with pride and love when people ask,
"What's that about?"
Here's a gem that I just saw recently, this is why we love the Oils:
