Wave Aid tsunami gig: $2 million
"It was the night a politican turned up at a rock concert – and the fans went wild.
"In a momentous musical tribute to the victims of Asia's tsunami disaster, Midnight Oil headlined the star-studded WaveAid concert at the Sydney Cricket Ground last night.
"Lead singer Peter Garrett, now the Labor member for Kingsford-Smith, relished the opportunity to perform, showing off his trademark antics including outstretched hand and manic dancing.
"Crowd members went berserk as the Oils belted out some of their biggest tunes in what was considered their farewell show.
"Garrett joked to the crowd of 48,000: 'I'm probably the only Labor MP who is singing in a band tonight.'"
