Wave Aid 2DVD Kasey Chambers Missy Higgins Silverchair

Wave Aid, a Tsunami relief concert, was held this year on January 29 at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Many of the forces of the Australian music scene - promoters, performers, technical staff, and a great public response - brought about this great occasion in Australian live event history.

Waveaid - The DVD" is a terrific souvenir of a significant event for people who experienced the occasion in Sydney. It contains in excess of three hours of footage and is yet another great opportunity for us to donate and assist the victims of the Tsunami disaster.

Covering two DVDs, the set opens with some songs from The Waifs, followed by the popular Missy Higgins and Nick Cave. The acoustic set is a real treat, comprising contributions from Pete Murray and The Finn Brothers.

The music becomes more electric with the presence of the Wrights (a supergroup of sorts), who performed Stevie Wright’s classic ‘Evie’. Silverchair, complete with piercings, deliver a taut five-song set that includes ‘The Greatest View’ and ‘The Door’. Meanwhile, Powderfinger are in good form with ‘My Happiness’, ‘Passenger’ and ‘These Days’.

The gig belongs to everybody, but the standout for many in attendance was the performance by Midnight Oil who take no prisoners and deliver a barnstorming set. It rounded up an historic and poignant occasion.
