Midnight Oil perform 'My Country', live at Ellis Park, South Africa in 1994. Originally featured on the album 'Earth and Sun and Moon'. Written by Rob Hirst.

Having steadfastly refused to play in South Africa whilst in the grip of apartheid, this concert is a celebration of the inauguration of Nelson Mandela in front of a packed Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg during 1994.
