From Little Things Big Things Grow - Kev Carmody and Paul Kelly 

I was at this concert and am still equally moved by watching the video many years later. A moving iconic political and human story of the truly important moments that helped shape Australia. Artists, activists and politicians coming together. There is hope yet!

One of the most important songs of human existence.

thank-you Gough. A giant amongst men.

RIP Gough and Vincent. I still get goosebumps when I encounter that photo at the NGA.

Full of pride, full of tears...always was, always will be.

Kev and Paul, no words for them. Just amazing. I liked the young musicians and their faces, telling style and raising fingers while singing.

Beautiful on so manly levels The story/battle is similar around the world for indigenous people, then and now....

What an amazing group of people on that stage with Kev, I wish I could have had the talent to be one of them....the symbol of that handful of dirt is not to be overlooked. I cannot believe that this has only been viewed 98,000 times....it should be our National Anthem !!

This is just stunning, what a story in a beautiful song, what a powerful symbol of passing a handful of dirt. Just awful and heartfelt in equal measure. What a way to wrap up a show.

Can we make this our national anthem?

Best version I've seen!!!

cool clip two blokes with guitars sitting around a camp fire telling a story but as Paul Kelly does it turns into the whole camp on their feet singing love Pauls story telling

You boys and girls are my weapons to save the human race and once we achieve that no need to say thanks or show gratitude-. This is how it ends - remember "loose 💋 ".

21 st December brought me ere!

So bloody beautiful. Well done all

I love this

This song has so much more meaning to it with Dan Sultan performing with Kev. You could see Dan was nervous, then pan to Kev...

What an inspiring story!!!! Sovereignty!!!

great leadership paul & kev .those younger singers and the band have caught the spirit and are smoking hot, dripping with passion as they should be because it's such an important iconic great aussie song

A small seed to grow a great awareness of our near past and perhaps a way toward a mutual and fruitful future together. Thank you Kev, Paul and gang. Sherrin Adam...

great song with powerful message.

I am personally sorry. I didn't do anything wrong, but I am sorry. Aboriginal people deserve a fair go. Stop the racism, start the reparations. I cannot undo the past, but I can be part of the future. All Australians cannot lose such an asset as our past!!!!

from listening to this ,i've just realised and want to salute how good that backing band is . they created a fantastic masterful foundation for the vocalists to launch from . you guys whoever you are need to pat yourself on the back .bloody fantastic .THANKYOU i hope you realise what you've been a part of .one of the greatest ,most important ,significant songs to come out of australia. you've gone down in history. what's the venue? anybody know

So proud to be australian

Huge part of the Australian story this. Native Title was the means to redress some of the inequity from the invasion - a compromise for sure. Maybe one day Treaty Day will replace Australia Day and true reconciliation can begin.

soooooooo gooooooooood!!!!!!

Even now it is moving.

Fantastic

I was a jackeroo there in 68.

This song is very catchy...I love it

Respect...love pk

I love this song a lot

brilliant - i wish i was there - amazing

I love this song and l hope everyone has a wonderful New Year :)

The lady singer an missy Higgins sing it beautiful

I LOVE this song ....... How true xx

Fabulous, so proud of u all xxxx

You sure told Mr Vesseyman, Vincent my beaatiful black brother - my heart❤❤❤❤s defender and protector. Men In The Town VINCENT tell the tall Stranger from The South. Help me Vincent.

should be the national anthem. I miss Gough.,wha a time.......... What do we do now??? Ball game has changed considerably

22blacksuperman that is Missy Higgins, famous singer in Australia

It's not about claiming sovereignty. Sovereignty has never been ceded. How can Britain claim sovereignty?

Such a shame that we voted 'No' in 2023 - history will judge us. This song gives me hope, still, for a brighter future. The effects of Lingiarri will echo yet.

Yes Please. It Absolutely should be

Patience is a virtue

Brilliant thanks x

Love Kev!

Defenantly would be great if this was our national anthem

let's ozstralia be a shining light of love to the world ,let's be justly proud because we share our love , little big land , we can do this is our place

When we finally ditch the monarchy this shoufd be our nationaal enthem!

from big things little things grow , from little things big things grow ,be pos be quantum thinkers , break down the barriers , all from all and all from more and more from all ,,

So, no harm in giving the lawful authority back to the people it belongs to. Now that we have prevented another country from taking over.

in amongst all this arguing how about something a little more positive? i not long ago watched a movie called ,the sapphires.i would recommend this so you all can learn a little about some wonderful singers i for one never knew existed.as molly would say!!!

Greetings from Turkey.

And Gough!

Vincent should be Australia’s next saint

There's no argument any more is there? We all get it now don't we?

Well isnt Lord Vestey with his plummy voice a real charmer? Now was it on his cattle stations that the British exploded their 14 atomic bombs between 1952 and 1963 ? Oh no they didnt explode them on HIS land but on our Australian land, We should explode 14 A bombs on Westeys ancestral lands

I know a child of Vesti, What a terrible heritage.

doing this song for naidoc week at school im lead signer so scared

A lucky country! Could have been Japan or Germany running the show

Australia was stolen from the Orginal Peoples of this land. The Crown of England planted their flag here and called Australia "TERRA NULLIUS". Terra Nullius means there were no inhabitants living in Australia! Even though at the time of British settlement there were at least 350 Murray tribes living on their own tribal lands across Australia. Then the Great British Imperial Regime started genocide against all native people. Shot and killed them, poisoned their waterholes, raped their woman and children, took the children away, massacred the Murray tribal leaders everywhere - and still "the stolen generation" is happening. This genocide is ongoing too - 27 Original Murray people have died of the C19vaxx in the Northern Territory where they have been forced to be jabberooed. In the last two months. How many Murray murders and deaths are we never hearing about? The MSM is still covering the genocide up. Change is ESSENTIAL. Well done Kev Carmody. You are truly amazing and such a great artist, thank you for your commitment to your people.

Far out sadness

from the spirit land ,ozstralia

Does someone know when this was recorded? I like that Carmody changed the second last verse to mention Whitlam specifically as some people are unfamiliar with the story, but is there some reason that the verse was changed? A Whitlam event of some kind? Anniversary? Too early for a memorial service.

Give me a clue. When was this ? On my Paul Kelly learning curve. Toured Oz in 2005 but never heard of him or the land rights issue.

Why isn't the red haired lady mentioned in the title..? She has the most prominent voice, if not the second most prominent voice. LoL I don't know who she is but geez, she is important within the song. Sorry but I just don't understand..?!?!??!? Great song though..! Love it..!!!! Ha ha but honestly.., WHO is she..?!?!? I really want to know. :)

,

who is the woman that sings at 3:11?? she got an amazing voice..

Maybe 2008

Who is the singer at 2:14? Is there a list of all the performers in this video?

yea must admitt by the 7 min i was done.

What happened?

Interestingly, the privileged always seem to come up with scare tactics.

clare bowditch is so average this and missy higgins taking the verse right after makes it seem soo much worse

Many not manly

So what? I f you were murdered by a German, it would be OK 'cos you could have been murdered by a Martian? How about I take your car before a Scottish person steals it? I know it wouldn't be legally mine straight away--how about if I keep it for 200 years?
