JIMMY BARNES Live at the Playroom Part 1

Not too many people have seen this, Jimmy Barnes solo, on the road for the first time after Cold Chisel. Intergalactic Pictures shot it for Mushroom Records in 1985, who wanted it for promotional purposes in the US. We were on the road with Jimmy for almost a week and the day he joined Chris Fraser and me in the Intergalactic Pictures' van was priceless. It was Jimmy Barnes unplugged, because he spent most of the trip, sprawled across the back seat with his guitar, singing like a rock god. Doing a full volume warm up on his repertoire, getting ready for the legendary Playroom, at Surfers Paradise in Queensland, where we spent two wild nights shooting his concerts.

I saw a lot of great bands at the Playroom before they tore it down, Sadly Jimmy wasnt one I saw, but I have seen Cold Chisel a number of times. Nothing today comes close to that good 'ol fashion hard core pub rock. I'm glad I was born when I was else I would have missed out
