My beautiful uncle Bobby Djabanunga playing the didgeridoo ❤❤ r.i.p

This is almost 40 years ago. It's relevance today is heartbreaking 🖤💛❤️

Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.

Its the no phones anywhere that gets me . Goanna in full flight

rare to get as good a quality as the studio version

Take my hat off to goanna. Connection inclusion and reconciliation. Spreading the word before most were prepared to act.

That guy on the didg is pretty good too!

Robert Ross playing drums. Amazing song which he transformed to an even greater level

What a golden age for Aussie bands.

The best time i had at school was learning guitar from Shane Howard, just before Goanna took off. Shane did Razors Edge at our school concert! Goanna had such a fresh powerful sound. I still have their music on rotation all these years - (you dont do that just because he was my guitar teacher) I still play guitar by the way, and so do my 2 mates I went to lessons with!

THIS is music.

Now that I understand the meaning behind the lyrics, the song is just that much better. Excellent music.

Great performance - incredible song. Favourite line (spoken not sung) is simply..'Wait a minute now...'. Loaded with a portents that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!

Shane Howard calls it genocide. A brave man. A brilliant man. An unbelievably sensitive and gifted songwriter. An huge influence on his generation, so humble too.

Goanna is a snapshot of what Australia could have been.

51 year old Australian here, this performance puts a lump in my throat. So good, so powerful...

absolute classic, what a track! would have loved to have been at that concert

One of the greatest songs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Very few songs become more important every year like this one.

A true sound of Australia and an acknowledgement to our first Australians Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you. god what a tremendous song!

It's still so moving after all these years. Its one of the songs that inspired many of us high school kids to go on to work for indigenous rights. PS If you visit Ireland check out ex-Goanna bass, digd, mandolin and banjo player Steve Cooney, who many regard as the best trad guitarist in Ireland.

When I listen to this song I think, how can things not have changed...

What a great lyric. And the wind of change keeps blowing. Yes, they keep lying and we keep falling for it.

Shane Howard the legend. Finally the walking on that sacred rock has finished.. is a huge moment of positive change.

Sounds even better live wow

A true sound of Australia and an acknowledgement to our first Australians

I have been in the Crowd dancing to this awesome band play this AWESOME song Noosa 83 still gives me chills

Great version good to see the late great Ross Hannaford on guitar too

When i first heard this song i must admit i though Goanna were from Alice Springs. So it was a pleasant surprise when i heard they were actually from Warrnambool. One of the greatest Aussie songs of all time!

Concert on 13 Feb 1983 Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Bands were Midnight Oil, INXS, Goanna, & Redgum.

Aussie rock classic with such an important message..

Such A great Aussie Song

Sounds even better live wow god what a tremendous song! Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you.

Sounds even better live wow THIS is music.

From a perth Pom,, sad not to see more indigenous real Aussie people in the crowd.. top song timeless...✌️👍

So Australian :). Love it still.

If a group could perform like this today we would rave about how amazingly well this performance was choreographed but they just worked it out themselves and really were that good It also sounds amazing because he put his heart and soul into this song and that can only come out live Song has aged well like a classic wine and feels as fresh today as it did nearly 40 years ago I remember Goanna headlining a concert in Launceston in the early 80s but they were only allowed to play a couple of songs because the concert was running too late

What a breathtaking performance!!

Sensational - musicians are so far ahead of the curve when recognising first nations peoples.

Good voice and that was live!

THIS is music. Always was.....Always will be ......... Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.

They were a great band from Warrnambool Victoria proud too know these guys

If you love this watch one of the best music videos ever ........Australia Now (1983) incredible live performances from OZ rock bands.

Brilliant.

Outstanding 👍🏼 thank you 🙏 for sharing and preserving this precious piece of Aussie musical history and great story telling song 🎵

god what a tremendous song!

I discovered this song in my 20s and I am still listening to it when I am 34. The last stanza is where it captured my attention when he sings about ‘’someone lied genocide’’. This stanza made me realise how powerful lyrics can be when coupled with passion.

Dang. Sounds as good as the studio version.

Another 80s classic.I miss those times

one of the best song from the land down under.now 2020

awesome band, awesome live show thanks

Great tune as usual! Mesmerizing performance.

Huge Aussie talent, guitars,guitars and more guitars and Hanna for a bonus!

Brilliant......all class.......loved it then and still do.......thanks

Real music. Life was simple. We wore simple clothes not trying to impress no one. Just good old Aussie music.

Amazing!

Always was.....Always will be .........

40 years is heartbreaking but don’t give up. We’ll get there!

Sounds even better live wow Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you. THIS is music.

I moved from Detroit in the late 70's, my wife was an American Indian and this group opened my eyes to how the Aboriginals of Australia were treated. Many say AC/DC, are Australian ... sorry these people are!

Best band ever im65 pity we didn't listen

Solid Performance !

80s music again proves it was untouchable, even the camera guys captured the emotion perfectly and nobody with a smartphone notice that.

Great to see this live version. thanks

Brilliant!! 🧡🌟🎶

GOANNA thank you sharing it such a wonderful song 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

Added bonus that tall lanky guy playing guira in the background is Ross Hannaford from Daddy Cool. And is that Gary Foley too with the clapsticks?

This song will never die

Bei Restaurierungsarbeiten alter Cassetten Aufnahmen aus dem Jahr 1983 bin ich bei der Erneuerung auf diesen Song/ Band gestoßen, wo mir die langen, einsamen aber schönen tausenden von Kilometer durch Australien von 1998 einfallen. Das dies eine Down-Under-Band war, habe ich damals nicht gewusst. Doch der Song hatte/hätte mir so oder so gefallen.

What a song. How good are they live? Pretty impressive

Out here nothin' changes Not in a hurry anyway You can feel the endlessness With the comin' of the light o' day You're talkin' 'bout a chosen place You wanna sell it in a marketplace Well Well just a minute now You're standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Right down the line Well round about the dawn of time The Dreaming all began A crowd of people came Well they were lookin' for their promised land We're runnin' from the heart of darkness Searchin' for the heart of light It was their paradise Well they were standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Were blowin' cold that night Well they were standin' on the shore one day Saw the white sails in the sun Wasn't long before they felt the sting White man, white law, white gun Don't tell me that it's justified Cause somewhere Someone lied Yeah, well someone lied Someone lied Genocide Well someone lied And now you're standin' on Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line Solid rock Standin' on sacred ground Livin' on borrowed time And the winds of change Are blowin' down the line No!

I remember going to see these guys in various pubs and clubs in Melbourne in very early 1980's. So many brilliant aussie bands started in this era. Still have albums and cassettes recorded on metal TDK or Memorex tapes of these guys and many other great aussie and Kiwi bands from this era.

April 2019 ❤

Solid backing on guitar ... Ross Hannaford (daddy cool)

Go Davo! Alway payed with heart.

Ok I love this

I love you Poppy and the goanna band

love the guy wearing the Midnight Oil shirt at the end

How many rock songs feature a didgeridoo, awsome.

I long for the day indigenous people are acknowledged in this country by the government.

always is always will be

Marcia and Rose ❤

Australia could have been and should have been much different. Even down to the way people dressed.. expression of who people are, no care, no expectation, just what people wanna be and how they wanna look & love. Love this country with all my heart but it’s changed so dramatically after just 25 - 30 years. Bring back respect for our country, our land, the animals, no social media and most important the original land owners 🇦🇺🖤❤️💛

Just brilliant all round. Very important song for us Australians to know and understand. It looks like at the Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne. Any other details - the year, the event?
