So, I thought, why not go to see Cold Chisel? I’m broke, I have a ridiculously high energy bill due to the clumsiness of the plumber (who hasn’t fixed the problem yet), and Christmas looks like being rather Oliver Twisty… so yeah, why not… But the US didn’t want them that’s why they wrote ‘You Got Nothing I Want’…’ The strange thing is, their stage show would go down damn well in the USA.” They came back and did a big show… We thought they’d conquer the world. Then they vanished to Sydney for about 18 months and signed to Warners. There was no other band doing anything like what they were doing.
But Don couldn’t stay that night, so they did their covers instead.” I remember watching a soundcheck Don was with them and they did all these new songs which were brilliant. “They were a cover band doing Free, Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin. The thrill for him seeing them on such a huge stage is that he saw these original songs in pubs like the Marryatville and the Tivoli. See if you’re reviewing a gig, it’s not like voicing an opinion over a bevy of cleansing Pale Ales. (That Beat gig a few years back, we both looked at each other afterwards and almost said at the same time, ‘almost cheesy cabaret’ … ). Also, he knows that while I might occasionally be scathing in a review, I do try to be honest with my opinion. A friend has two rather unexpected tickets and, as this friend is very special, and as he is someone who did see these legendary gigs … I decided I’d go. Oh, I did, did I? Well, I admit if you’d told me five years ago that not only would I go to see Barnsey support the Stonesies and, within two years of that, willingly go to see Cold Chisel … I’d have sent for the men in white coats.īut. Mind you, it’s 2015 and I’ve not heard any of their LPs in the last 20 years, because I gave up on mainstream radio years ago I only encounter FM MEGA whenever I’m unfortunate enough to be stuck somewhere where I can’t turn the bastard off or heave it out of a window. I grew up hearing Cold Chisel on the radio. It would be interesting to see what might have happened had the Hitmen been this successful at Chisel’s expense… but that is to tempt the cobra called Fate.įull disclosure: I grew up about two suburbs from Elizabeth and even we looked down on Elizabeth. A local joke goes that over there you can hear the largs baying, but … as I said, decent people don’t go there…Ĭold Chisel had a rough-as-guts image, and played rock akin to punk before punk, used feedback where it was effective, and were huge all around the country in the '70s and '80s. Which, if you look at a map, you will discover nestling in Largs Bay, to the north-west of Port Adelaide which, back in the early-mid ‘70s, was not quite as foul as Port Melbourne, but none-the-less, decent people didn’t go there. To be precise, quite often at the Largs Pier Hotel.
