Chisel have been blowing us away for 40 years. They seemed to catch the very essense of aussie life in their lyrics. Best aussie band ever. I first saw them live at Narrara 83, 4 am after aussie crawl. Boy oh boy did they put on a gig to remember.
they have got together again after thids. I saw them live back in the late 70's. All are still performing today, and have solo careers. Mossie, is such a talented guitarist and singer. the harmonies for the whole bank were wonderful
It amazes me that 'a' person decided to get this on film. Otherwise this would not be a recorded part of history. I'm sure that 'that' person is really happy with themselves now, knowing that this is a very special part of the Cold Chisel Story!
this is one of my favourite Cold Chisel songs it is simply brilliant from Don Walker on piano and Ian Moss vocals and guitar It stills gives me goose bumps every time this is from their last concert before they broke up but as you know they reformed later on in the 90's and still going strong
Well you know it’s not a cold chisel song but it’s a great version of this song... however Ray Charles will always be the king of this song. And I’m sure Ian Moss would agree....
@@evaadams8298 you are dreaming if you think any version of this song is better than this and I dont care who is singing it Ray Charles James Brown Tom Jones Kelly Clarkson hell even any other version sung by Mossy himself I have heard a lot of different people sing this song I have yet to hear a better version that guitar solo the power the passion then there is Don on the keys this simply stunning and I would think Hoagy himself would approve
They broke up because at the time there was a lot of volatility between band members, particularly between Jimmy and drummer, Steve Prestwich, and they just felt they weren't able to continue giving fans their best. Basically, they felt they had achieved all that they could. They reformed in the late 90s and have continued producing great songs. I was lucky enough to see them live when they reformed for the Yakuza Girls tour, and was directly in front of Mossy for the whole concert. He was sweating profusely after just two songs and the whole concert was brilliant.
Barnesy doesn't scream just as Tina Turner and Joe Cocker didn't scream. Maybe its not for you. I agree Ian Moss has in many ways a better voice, but plenty of singers have that growl and howl such as Billy Thorpe and there is many others. Barnsey went through a period where his voice wasn't that great but he sorted that shit out. I think he is the best he has been now since the 1980's.
Thanks for this. I enjoyed your reaction & analysis. Mossy is my favourite Chisel member. He's a great singer & sensitive guitarist ... (and he's also quite cute.)
I believe this song was played as a first encore after the band performed Wild Thing at their Last Stand concert. They reformed several times after this. The best performance of Georgia ever IMO.
Love Ian Moss's version of this song. I have listened to this myself on repeat on many an occasion. He generally sings with a Blues style 💜 Other Mossy songs from Cold Chisel to listen to would be "Saturday night" and "Janelle". Others prefer Ian over Jimmy or the other way around. That is totally their choice, but for me I truly appreciate both with the same level of high regard. May they live on forever!!!!
@@Dr_KAP Yeah, Jo Sedunary reached out last night worried she was going to have to organise a house call from Kappville Krescent to Mocky's Nest. But I reassured her that it wasn't possible for me to keep up with the inkredible kapers of Kappy Kappster without medical intervention of the Easy German kind, circa 1970-80.
I was there. I was about 17. The Last Stand concerts. Fantastic. My fav band at the time. I love Ian Moss doing Georgia. If you havnt heard his solo stuff look it up.
You are right about the smiling happy part of the band and other Aussie bands. We don't have egos like a lot of other artists. It is the Aussie way! Love your reactions.
Great reaction as ever folks! 😀 'It has a bluesy feel." It IS the quintessence of blues! You really couldn't get a lot more blues than this classic. I actually prefer Ian singing to Jimmy in Chisel. Jimmy in my opinion has been more to my liking since Chisel. Ian Moss band was a superb band, you should check out Tuckers Daughter and Telephone Booth. Cheers and thanks again!
I was just a kid in early 80's so they broke up before I even really knew music. Although when I did consciously start to listen to music, Cold Chisel songs played by people older than me, really drew me in, especially hearing their live stuff like this. I wish they were still around as I grew up in the 80's but still could listen to their music. Jimmy Barnes had his solo career and Ian Moss his. All the band members went different ways and did not stop making music. I even went and saw Ian Moss live and Jimmy Barnes in late 80's when I was old enough to go. I eventually did see them in early 2000's as the got back for some live tours as a band and new album, but they would also still do their own careers. Ever since the early 20000's they got back together in studio to do a two or three albums and when they do that, they tend to have a tour afterwards. I've seen them three times in the 2000's. Sadly only once with original drummer, Steve Prestwhich. He sadly passed away at one of their more recent albums. I saw a concert soon after that which was kind of bitter sweet without him but they did him justice on that tour and the drummer they had since is really good too. I think before Co-Vid they were doing a tour but I missed it. Sadly, the new drummer lost his wife to sickness in the last decade too. I never knew until recently his wife was Chrissy Amphlett, lead singer of The Divinyls. Small world. Back to Cold Chisel, think this footage from a movie made of their last concert series in those early 80's. I remember it was called The Last Stand. This footage was probably not released on the original video film but I assume this was an extra in some DVD anniversary addition decades later. Fantastic performance by Ian Moss with wonderful piano back up via Don Walker. As someone that grew up hearing their music, it was always Cold Chisel to me whether, Jimmy Barnes or Ian Moss were the lead singer it never mattered to me. All that matters, was I enjoyed the music. It interesting to hear their albums from the 2000's or late 70's and find, it does not matter what decade or how old they are, they just have amazing chemistry as a band.
The explanation why this song was stored away for 30 years was explained in the story before the concert footage began🤣🤣, and Dominica’s qstn as too how many people were there that are watching your review well I can tell you I am one of them!!, far from a silly question 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why did Cold Chisel break up? It is apparent how important it was for Cold Chisel to end their career on their own terms. Despite being at the height of their success and popularity, they felt they were not giving the fans their best and didn't want to continue on that path.
Georgia On My Mind” became the Georgia state song on April 24, 1979, when Gov. George Busbee signed it into law. The song was written by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930 and became a major hit with Ray Charles in 1960.
No such thing as a silly question, just a silly answer. Yes, I was there. A brilliant concert, like every time we've seen them between 1978 and 2022. The Cold Chisel Wikipedia article explains the break-up and reformation. There were lots of issues, but they grew up and got over it and eventually got back together,, but by then Jimmy Barnes's solo career had taken off, so they get together every few years, do an album and a tour and then go back their separate ways again. It seems to work for them. Thanks for finally finding Chisel. Most of us in Australia have never understood why they were not better known back in the day. Better late then never.
Their last Stand concert was 1983, I was 18 and I missed out on getting tickets. I thought I would never get to see them live but got my chance when they reformed in the late 1990's at Rod Laver arena Melbourne. They have reformed a few times since as well.
Hi Guys … Cold Chisel broke up in 1983 … because they had done everything in Australia and never broke the overseas market…. They released one more studio album in 1984…. Twentieth Century…. They reformed in the Late 90’s … released.. Last Wave of Summer…. And an Additional 3 albums since….No Plans…..Perfect Crime …. And …. Blood Moon…..I attended these shows back in 1983…. The Tour was called…the Last Stand tour….. you need to do more IAN MOSS…. He has a wonderful solo career….
Please do Ray Charles reaction for this song if you want to feel the blues. Edit: song written in 1930 by Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorell. Hoagy is native to my home state of Indiana, USA. He wrote many bluesy songs.
I'd suggest that this took so long to be seen due to the following: 1. It was a private, unsanctioned video; 2. Ian and Don performed this as a "filler", while the other band members took a little break; 3. The song is not a Cold Chisel song or collaboration... therefore it was an unofficial addition to the gig, and therefore not filmed for the official video. Keep it up guys, you are so refreshing... where did Domenica pick up her use of the Aussie word "crikey"?
@@johnpeters4084 Maybe because the cameramen was unaware of what was about to happen/didn't know the song, so he stopped filming until a minute or two into it. Then they could dub the audo that WAS recorded to the footage with the extra titles at the start to cover up the filming that was missed. If it had been filmed in it's entirety, it probably would have made it onto the original Last Stand release on VHS. Also, there were no other cameras on it seems, so maybe they didn't want to put out the song with no footage of Don Walker (who was also brilliant in this)
I 💖 you guys.Thankyou so much for sharing your pleasure in music.Please react to Olivia Newton John …”I love you, I honestly love you” I’m sure you’ll love it ….Cheers💖🦘🦘🇦🇺
As an Aussie teen I had no idea how spoiled I was. I thought Cold Chisel was very average, ordinary rock music, and John Farnham was very average, ordinary pop music. In the 1980s and 90s, when I struck out on my own from the communal music listening in the house (My parents were playing opera, classical, the Beatles, Stones, and Dire Straights, all of which I still love) I personally listened to Pink Floyd and the earliest House and electronic dance music. It took youtube reactors like yourself to teach me the talent and value, the beauty in Cold Chisel, it's band members, and John Farnham and his usual suspects.

Underrated performance. Classic
Ian's is a very talented musician who can make his guitar sing, and his voice has such a beautiful bluesy tone. Love this song.
Ian Moss still plays that song live today, as a solo artist. Legend. I had to replay that amazing guitar solo a couple of times :-)

Cold Chisel have reformed several times over the years. You guys are the best ❤👏
My first security job was at an Ian Moss concert. I was in front of the stage. Was a great show.
this is one of my favourite Cold Chisel songs it is simply brilliant from Don Walker on piano and Ian Moss vocals and guitar It stills gives me goose bumps every time

I love that yu never hear more than two instruments at a time. Either piano and voice, or piano and guitar,
I saw them do this live in Perth in 1976 and I still remember it as being an outstanding performance which left an indelible impression

Volatility between Jimmy Barnes and Steve Prestwich. Volatility between the Glaswegian and the Scouse. Who'd have thought?
Ian Moss doesn’t have to scream... his voice is fabulous!

Cold Chisel are still performing to this day.
So proud to have him as a neighbour in Annandale Sydney.
This song is nearly 100 years old (1930) but is still in Ian Moss's playlist. A real classic.
Ray Charles..

Cold Chisel came back together 10 years after this concert and regularity play in between solo projects.
Cold chisel broke up in 1983 and reformed in 1997! Mossy is such a talented vocalist and guitarist. Thanks for this hope you’re both well!

I live in the state of Georgia in the US. This is my state's official song.
From memory, this was the song Ian auditioned with before he joined Cold Chisel (originally called Orange) in 1973

Just as well you left the family home, as the princess that you are named for did.
he is a good singer but a top level guitar player.
I think maybe Mossy gave Jimmy a bottle of vodka with a teat on it and said suck on this for now.
ian Moss over Jimmy anyday!
Yeah, man. Horses for courses. But absolutely agree. Mossy always had my vote as a premium vocalist.
