In January 1985 Midnight Oil performed Oils on the Water a concert on Goat Island in Port Jackson to celebrate Triple J's tenth birthday before a select audience of fans who had won tickets in a radio competition. The concert was filmed simulcast on ABC-TV and Triple J and released on video which was remastered for their 2004 Best of Both Worlds DVD. Oils on the Water: A classic Midnight Oil performance was recorded on Goat Island in Sydney Harbour on 13 January 1985. Never before or since has the band performed in such a setting; every time Peter Garrett turned up stage he was caught in the light of the setting sun reflected by the city and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
