I'm from America and just discovered Powderfinger online about 3 1/2 yrs ago, and they have quickly become one of my very favorite bands...AND NOW THEY BROKE UP...I'm heart broken!! They never even had a hit in the USA. I really would love to see the guys come here and blow the charts apart....Why didn't they come here? They have been everywhere else in the world. Still hoping....
In a Brisbane tradition for young blokes me and some mates dug under the temporary fence to break into their last gig at Riverstage (did the same for Megadeth and Foo Fighters about the same time) and security didn't give a shit because it was the LAST Powderfinger gig. Not gonna lie, I cried during "These Days".
I never heard it played on local radio, doesnt mean it wasnt played anywhere else, but it never hit the charts or got big here. Anyone I ask about Powderfinger here, thinks I'm talking about the Neal Young song. I love My Happiness, one of my favorite tunes.
You may get the chance in summer of 17/18 as I've heard they're getting back together to tour.... All the hype is for the Oils reuniting but looks like powderfinger are also.
Saw this show in Wellington. We were so wrapped Powderfinger were first as Silverchair were woeful and we left during their set. If Silverchair were first, we would have had to suffer through them to get to these guys. Mind you it may have been worth it........
Yea...I know...I love the guy, but I really love to see him with the band....:D Yea...I know...I love the guy, but I really love to see him with the band....:D SO SO GOOD !!!!
Yea...I know...I love the guy, but I really love to see him with the band....:D SO SO GOOD !!!! Sloppy, mistakes, speed changes... Just great! REAL ROCK!!!
@benrhcpfan DZ is using a '73 (and I mean '73, not a reissue) Fender Telecaster Deluxe. Ian is using a Gibson Les Paul (don't know the specifcs). Overall, DZ often uses teles (or Fenders in general), While Ian prefers Gibsons (both SGs and LPs). However, they mix it up and use different guitars quite frequently. Part of their sound is their amps though, Ian mainly uses Orange products (the band used to appear on Orange's artists roster), while DZ seems to use Vox or Goldentone stuff.
Who knows! A lot of good Aussie rock is totally unknown in the US still. :) You should check out the Hottest 100 Australian Albums Of All time from triple j ... it's probably on the youtubes somewhere.
@PaladinswordSaurfang its not something i was trying to argue about. its just i dont like how people dont appreciate live music as much as it should. im fine that you may not like the sound, i just hope you appreciate it thats all.
It's an Aussie radio station that plays this kind of music. :) Their hottest 100 for each year basically shows the best... you can stick to the top 20 if it's too much.
quite right, except for paul mccartney. one time my friend & i actually forgot jc was in the band. we went, did they get a new member? huh? oh... OH. :D
Absolutely gutted that I never got to see them. Broke up when I was 12 we miss you PF sorry but this crowd is pretty lame. they should be going nuts sorry but this crowd is pretty lame. they should be going nuts

I didn't know how much I needed that On My Mind/ Midnight Rambler combo, until I heard it.

FANTASTIC!

JC is the coolest bass player in music history
They did the Rolling Stones interlude at Karratha too. Slapped hard.

Hey guys..it costs $50 just to get a CD. They have to have them shipped here! I have to ORDER it at the local record store.
Oh...btw...grrrreat video.
Yep; Passion & Powder in the Finger all right. Go Boys; yeah Sunshine Coast
Y pensar que cuando vi a este grupo en Barcelona no debíamos ser más de 100 personas...
Ídem en Madrid. Y fui a ver a Bernard una vez y éramos menos de 15 FIJO.
At the time, I didnt have access to itunes...had to go to record store.
@PaladinswordSaurfang its not something i was trying to argue about. its just i dont like how people dont appreciate live music as much as it should. im fine that you may not like the sound, i just hope you appreciate it thats all.
Awesome band! So this is what Joe Flannigan does when he's not playing Sheppard in Stargate Atlantis
Sooo fucking badass
how do you choose a favorite,,when you live nr beaches & sunsets-?
It's an Aussie radio station that plays this kind of music. :) Their hottest 100 for each year basically shows the best... you can stick to the top 20 if it's too much.
Very cool. Thanks to bengrockson for the share.
quite right, except for paul mccartney. one time my friend & i actually forgot jc was in the band. we went, did they get a new member? huh? oh... OH. :D
ha, i guess jc doesn't get an intro? or did i miss something?
And the singer uses a microphone!
LOL
Yeah I was sad that JC didn't get a shoutout. He's the engine room of the entire band.
hoggy lookin good with the les paul lol
havent seen him play one before
I will check them out. I've heard of silverchair, but...not as good as the Finger lol...love those guys..but yes, I will check out triple J. thanks!
WE have Powderfinger and Stones.
try itunes maybe?
Why he didn't introduce John Collins and that guy behind keyboard?
ha, i guess jc doesn't get an intro? or did i miss something?
sorry but this crowd is pretty lame. they should be going nuts
agree!!! id be losing my mind!!!
ps. you're bound to be plagued w/ my comments as i'll be watching these videos again, and i've a massive amount of time on my hands sometimes.
anyone know where i can listen to the actual song? i hate live recordings...
TH-cam if your still looking 9 years later.
Bernard Fanning is going solo right now.
@daniel171095 Ah yes, live rock n'roll is THE greatest arena on earth

Its a custom les paul
And the singer uses a microphone!
LOL
@PaladinswordSaurfang well you dont appreciate real music. and how you can only be named a real musician if you perform live at top level.
Hahaha, that's OK. Comment away! He didn't you're right. It's because he's the bassist, no one cares about them, poor bass players. :p
Lacklustre ending.
Because in America right now they have the wrong skin color,and sing the wrong genre
