I'm wondering if I was there... where was this? I vaguely remember seeing them somewhere in a park in South Yarra/Prahran ??? My memory does ot serve me well !!!
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.
The were formed in Warnambool and performed along the southern coast of Victoria (though I don't know where was filmed) that is not a place with many indigenous Aussies.
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!
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!
May I advice you to listen to Warumpi Band, Coloured Stone or Yothu Yindi, as these were bands of indigenous peoples. Black Fella/White Fella is a song we can all learn from...
Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you. Sounds even better live wow Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.
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
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.
@Derek Gleeson I would say and take it to mean he was brave because he used music to speak out about Uluru and lies in school history around what happened in general. As I understand they weren't even sure if the radio would play the song or if it would be banned in places at the time
Pleiadian13,, even trying to find the right words to respond to what you said about Shane Howard is a very difficult task. Put simply my good sir/ma’am, I don’t believe that (not even in 100 years) would I ever be able to do this great song any justice by dreaming that I could put it any better, none whatsoever good sir/ma’am.
Can't help but agree with the term brave - to be brave is to have the courage to endure a challenge without fear. Ultimately, his lyrics are brave because he is a prosperous white Australian man with the courage to speak the truth through music.
I felt he called Terra Nullius genocide, in an impassioned and directly condemning way as regards the colonial invasion. It was the first time I heard that. Musically, it’s carrying that message almost on the wind. I may be ignorant, for me it’s influence is seen and felt in the change of perspective of what the truth of that genocide means too. I still feel vulnerable saying that statement to anyone. “Well someone lied. It was genocide!” For that and his love and appreciation of the first nation peoples and their descendants is beautiful and are-inspiring.
It was genocide. I just wrote a couple of essays for Uni in my journalism degree and the objective and directive from the colonial masters was to erase Indigenous people and culture.
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!
Sounds even better live wow Sounds even better live wow THIS is music. Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you. god what a tremendous song! Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.
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!
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.
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.
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 🇦🇺🖤❤️💛
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!
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.
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!

❤🧡🖤👣
Bless❤
Iv never seen this wonderful live footage. I was fortunate to see the performance at Uluru.
This is almost 40 years ago. It's relevance today is heartbreaking 🖤💛❤️
❤
I also hate how when you say 40 years ago, I immediately think "No, this wasn't the 60's..." and then realise the 80's were 40 years ago now...
@@Lagiacrus1996 👍🏻 dude
No it's not
Its the no phones anywhere that gets me . Goanna in full flight
Goanna is a snapshot of what Australia could have been.
Wow, that's a hell of a statement. You're right of course. It's heartbreaking.
You win the award for "Best Comment".
So true brother
Yes.
I honestly believe it still can be. Maybe not in our lifetime, but the least we could do is get it that one step closer
Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.
I'm wondering if I was there... where was this?
I vaguely remember seeing them somewhere in a park in South Yarra/Prahran ???
My memory does ot serve me well !!!
Listening to this right now. Born in 83. Bloody spewin I missed it. Bloody amazing
wish i had been there truely
51 year old Australian here, this performance puts a lump in my throat.
So good, so powerful...
What a golden age for Aussie bands.
rare to get as good a quality as the studio version
Concert on 13 Feb 1983 Sidney Myer Music Bowl.
Bands were Midnight Oil, INXS, Goanna, & Redgum.
Take my hat off to goanna. Connection inclusion and reconciliation. Spreading the word before most were prepared to act.
How are you Simon thank you for your comments sir.
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.

Always was.....Always will be .........
Absolutely fantastic concert ,I was there January 83 Aussie music rocks.
Very few songs become more important every year like this one.
From a perth Pom,, sad not to see more indigenous real Aussie people in the crowd.. top song timeless...✌️👍
Can you see all the people in the crowd you flog? White australians make up a much larger portion of the pop so it could be proportional
The were formed in Warnambool and performed along the southern coast of Victoria (though I don't know where was filmed) that is not a place with many indigenous Aussies.
Bobby was awesome 🖤💛❤️
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!
Aussie rock classic with such an important message..
Great version good to see the late great Ross Hannaford on guitar too
Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you.
god what a tremendous song!
40 years is heartbreaking but don’t give up. We’ll get there!
What a great lyric. And the wind of change keeps blowing. Yes, they keep lying and we keep falling for it.
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!
And never was a truer word spoken
An anthem!!!
I have been in the Crowd dancing to this awesome band play this AWESOME song Noosa 83 still gives me chills
Robert Ross playing drums. Amazing song which he transformed to an even greater level
and wearing a footy jumper! can't get any more classic 80s..
@@ppe8488
No 27, I think, which was Simon Madden's number. He was a great Essendon Ruckman at the time..
Holy shltballs that’s a good band.. the song, the vocals & the message
correct
Proud to be Aussie,.....so proud
Sounds even better live wow
THIS is music.
Sensational - musicians are so far ahead of the curve when recognising first nations peoples.
May I advice you to listen to Warumpi Band, Coloured Stone or Yothu Yindi, as these were bands of indigenous peoples.
Black Fella/White Fella is a song we can all learn from...

That guy on the didg is pretty good too!
King of the country

oh wait I take that back the drummer is wearing an Essendon shirt
absolute classic, what a track! would have loved to have been at that concert
Sounds even better live wow
god what a tremendous song!
Love the indigenous support. Great work, thank you.
If you love this watch one of the best music videos ever ........Australia Now (1983) incredible live performances from OZ rock bands.
Another 80s classic.I miss those times
80s music again proves it was untouchable, even the camera guys captured the emotion perfectly and nobody with a smartphone notice that.
smart phones weren't around then sweetheart
@@Resenbrink that's partly why that era was so good.
robby rensenbrink ... oh? No? Maybe being unattached was a more exclusive thing, back then... Ay?
Ok boomer
@angushenry4882 shut the f up haha I'm 28 and if your near my age and 3 years later still a c unt. I hope you sort your life out hahahahahah
So Australian :). Love it still.
A true sound of Australia and an acknowledgement to our first Australians
Actually.. Aboriginals are second australians, they murderated the first australians looong time ago.
One of the greatest songs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
Steven Lawrence agreed
No it's not
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
Dang. Sounds as good as the studio version.
Outstanding 👍🏼 thank you 🙏 for sharing and preserving this precious piece of Aussie musical history and great story telling song 🎵
Now that I understand the meaning behind the lyrics, the song is just that much better. Excellent music.
Shane Howard the legend. Finally the walking on that sacred rock has finished.. is a huge moment of positive change.
When I listen to this song I think, how can things not have changed...
sometimes you dont notice it, but change is constant, peace
Best band ever im65 pity we didn't listen
Such A great Aussie Song
one of the best song from the land down under.now 2020
Shane Howard calls it genocide. A brave man. A brilliant man. An unbelievably sensitive and gifted songwriter.

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

Australia be nothing without the white man.
@@11henger white man did a lot more to pillage and poison this continent than the humble bunny
What? Australia is different, its you that has a cork up your arse, ha
Australia is beautiful, i love your passion to see that we are here, we are independent,

This song will never die

Solid Performance !
Huge Aussie talent, guitars,guitars and more guitars and Hanna for a bonus!
Brilliant!! 🧡🌟🎶
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!
Thanks! Amazing lyrics.
Brilliant......all class.......loved it then and still do.......thanks
Ok I love this
Before immediate gratification and materialism completely took over , just as we were waking up !!?
love the guy wearing the Midnight Oil shirt at the end
Go Davo! Alway payed with heart.
Always was.....Always will be .........
