Anyone see this? The sound on my computer isn't working, so I will need to wait until tonight.

I saw it the other day. Not bad but why can't they learn the words?

Fairly pedestrian and the crowd seem bored.
Re: Midnight Oil Covers LC for Joe's BDay
Yeah it was the bare minimum, which pains me to say because I love them, but at least they play their own songs crazy good.

Drums are pretty bad too, this is worse on second listen.

Yeah, an average cover, but the guys on the rail seem to really like it.

I think it's very good. The ending is a bit curt, but the Oils are capable of capturing the mood, might, ambiance and spirit of the Clash live probably better than anybody, even Springsteen.

Say what? So Pete subs "drowning" with "calling" Big deal.
And Rob Hirst can play circles around Topper in his prime.

Maybe he's a great drummer, but he doesn't play this very well. He seems to make the usual mistake of just thinking it's some simple tub-thumping and misses all the nuances. I've seen it done a few times. He also misses the obvious big fill at the start.

I totally forgot that I posted this, so I forgot to watch it at home.

Re: Midnight Oil Covers LC for Joe's BDay
Yeah, I take your points. But Hirst and Topper are two very different drummers (though Hirst can swing as well as Topper). Topper's drum fills are as catchy as any of the other hooks in the song, so, yeah, I wish Rob had played them. Seems maybe they didn't practice it much. Oh well, I still dig it.

You know I'm with you on loving this band. I agree it just sounds like it was likely a last-minute decision to cover—Rob might even just be playing it from (admittedly cloudy) memory. I can't remember, did you get to see them on this tour?muppet hi fi wrote: ↑31 Aug 2017, 8:18pmYeah, I take your points.

Nah, and they just played First Avenue last Aug. 29th, dammit. Too much non stop fuckery with trying to sell and clear out my dad's house.
