Music From The Home Front has paid tribute on Anzac Day to both those Aussies who have served and died in wars and conflicts, while also thanking workers on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The show opened with three meaningful performances, each perfectly matching the sentiment of the different life we are living at the moment.
James Morrison kicked off the concert with 'The Last Post', filmed from the Dawn Service in Adelaide. Fittingly, Morrison was accompanied by a digger and a healthcare worker, which sums up how different Anzac Day 2020 has been, with Aussies restricted to commemorating the day from their homes because of social distancing regulations.
Ben Lee then performed a rendition of his hit song 'We're All In This Together'. He was accompanied by Jack River, Lime Cordiale and a choir of Aussies, including healthcare workers, who responded to a call out from Lee to join in the song.
"I am very moved and honoured to be able to connect with you all tonight, to be here even though I'm far away across an ocean and a lot of us are all stuck in our homes," he said.
"If anything this experience this last few months is a reminder of a truth that we are all interconnected, we are all on the same team, we're all team human, we are all the same species, we're all on the same side.

"I'm excited to play a song for you that I know has come to be meaningful to a lot of people over the past few months and it's taken on a new meaning to me to, it's a song I wrote 20 years ago called 'We're All In This together' and it's the truth."
Event co-organiser Jimmy Barnes then sang 'Working Class Man', one of his most iconic songs and a tune that is almost an unofficial anthem for the everyday Aussie. He was accompanied by another Diesel, another national fave, on guitar.
And The Wiggles performed to remind everyone to wash their hands to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
