actually, this is from the last stand concert in 83 when chisel broke up. mossy just forgot the words. this is when chisel first broke up after there first 10 years of being a pub band.
@aMberKeLLi It was a series of 'final concerts', that went around Australia. This wasn't the 'last' night - I assume the movie used performances from a few different nights.
Have to remember, these songs were being performed live on this final tour before the final album containing them was released (it was recorded in between shows over a long period). Lyrics were probably still being drafted and finalised, hence Moss singing 'alternate' lines...
This is one of the most underated songs from Cold Chisel. It has all the rough edge of Kings Cross and even a bit of raw emotion .... AWESOME SONG .... ha ha Mossy was "winging it" a bit in the start but he landed the plane !!
Cool! I was at a shopping centre and this song just came into my head wasnt on the radio or nothing. So im walking around singing it and thinking when i get home im gonna listen it.......so here I am, wicked song havent heard for ages. Forgot it was cold chisel at 1st...one of the greatest aussie bands ever!
lol....Its one of they great songs that pop up in your head from nowhere! i just got to know the Chisel last year when our Aussie cuz was visiting. Started off with Flame Trees....Now we have the Album with 20 cool tracks! This songs Nice.
ya know this is australia all over for me. rough around the edges and having a laugh at themselves. a time when binge drinking wasnt something the government tried to stop, hawke freakin promoted it.. what a champ.
i love showing my mates from the states these video clips and they love them,
barnsey came into my store when he was doing the book signing in highpoint for borders, we didnt have the part we needed though :( i got his autograph for me and my dad though :) Absolute legend
I met Barnesy a few years ago while he was pomoting Soul Deeper, we'd been in line for about three hours and he was still really nice to us, even though he'd been singingn and signing autographs for 3+ hours, he treated us like we were the first people in line.
Yes, this was off the 'Last stand' video and the other back up singer was Vanetta Fields, I thought it was beautiful how Jimmy reacted to Mossy forgetting the words!
A bloody champ truly, but he wasn't necessarily the real brains of the band. It was Don Walker who wrote most of the songs and had kept them together all those years. Still, without Mossy, it just wasn't chisel.
Actually Don Walker, the pianisy/keyboard player wrote most of the songs. The others guys all wrote too, but ig you had to state ONE guy as 'the brains' behind Cold Chisel, it would be Don Walker.
Yes and Veneta Fields as well. There is a Chisel Version of "River Deep Mountain High" where from the last stand tour where Barnesy goes for a "walk" In the crowd and doesn't get back in time to start the song so Renee sings a verse It's Gold - Typical Chisel.
