Midnight Oil

In April 1993, during the time of the live recording in Toronto, Midnight Oil was actively promoting their album "Earth and Sun and Moon," which had been released the previous year in 1993. This album marked a significant period in the band's evolution as it embraced a more polished sound while retaining their politically charged lyrics. The live concert highlights the band’s energetic performance style and their ability to engage with pressing social issues, which had become a hallmark of their work. Notably, "Earth and Sun and Moon" was nominated for an ARIA Music Award and features popular tracks such as "Truganini" and "Tell Me the Truth," which were likely part of their setlist during this Toronto concert. At this point in their career, Midnight Oil was gaining international recognition, solidifying their status as a prominent rock band with a strong environmental and political message.
