Thanks to all Australians for this song. Back in January 1973, there was no celebration here in the United States. Thanks again. Semper Fidelis from an old United States Marine Sergeant
This one goes out to Lance Corporal Patrick Gallagher (Navy Cross), Hotel 2/4 USMC, killed in action on the 30th of March, 1967 in Da Nang. One of Ireland's bravest sons, may his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace. 🇮🇪🇺🇲
When I was in the US Navy I visited Australia five times and learned about Cold Chisel and Jimmy Barnes . Although Jimmy never served , he sent a good message about how us veterans feel after coming home .
@@stevedrake604 Who gives a fuck. Australia fought along side America. Maybe not in the particular incident but nethertheless. Are you a veteran yourself? Serious question not trying to be rude.
The only time it is expectable for grown men down the pub to put their arms around each other was while screaming out this, most iconic of Australian songs.
i wish he wouldn't force the raspy yell so much. the original version (and contemporary live performances) were sung smooth(ish) melodically, so the harmony was better matched. here, the rest of the band are playing their instruments with care, he's forcing a coarse yell rather than exercising similar restraint, and to me it diminishes the whole.
Screaming, wailing Jimmy sings his guts out and leaves it all. Bottle of vodka a night, his throat is raw, the polyps are jumping and the crowd`s bloody loving it. For you overseas readers, this Aussie Rock band is celebrating their 50th year this year can you believe. Real Aussie Rock Legends.
Première fois que nous avons entendu cette chanson un soir en vacances lors d'un Aussie barbecue à Uluru en aout 2022. Un réel chef d'oeuvre. Les enfants adorent et l'écoute en boucle. l'Australie, on revient bientot!
wooahh... goosebumbs! .the old bastards again !! .. still alive and still the best band on this planet !! shed a tear for the old times .. stay safe Guys !!
I played this song on a borrowed in an Army mess in 1985 to both Commissioned and NCO Australian soldiers and they went BANANAS. I was 19 and they had never heard this song. I can play it today
I'm calling BS on your story in 1985 there would not be one Aussie who would not know this song let alone a bunch of diggers even today you would be hard up trying to find an Aussie who has not heard this song before
I never really liked Jimmy Barnes or Cold Chisel growing up. Then one day he was asked to sing Khe Sanh on some stupid show I was watching. No instruments, no backing, no nothing, just his voice and he killed it. Loved him ever since.
@cold chisel yes’s obviously she’s gone and got lost ? Why come onto a song that you fing scew up the comments which aren’t here anyway man your a sick fuck, I don’t know why I’m even here,I’m gone
when i was in Primary school i was wishing Jimmy barnes was my Music teacher Cold Chisel is the one that inspire me to be a musician i cant sing tho so i play guitar
My father's two years in Vietnam as a U.S. Marine Corps officer fortunately didn't effect him in quite the same manner as the person in this great song, but he definitely was never the same. How could he be? I'm sorry that the U.S. dragged Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea into such a colossally misjudged adventure. Thanks for sticking with us. It's a shame you had to suffer, too.
loved this song and learned it in Kuta, Bali when it wasn't blown to shite and then rebuilt as a shopping mall..Damn everyone rocked to this at Patty's bar in 99.
at 415 and onwards you have Barnes the total extrovert calling Mossy the introvert up to sing - WATCH THE BAND AND THEM LAUGH AT THIS - priceless!!!!!!
Jimmy, Recently I wrote two letters to Boris, and this morning I bought the International Express and he is definitely out of office. All I said was that 'Martin' the medium, and very early on, like 2002, asked me if I wanted to go into a detention centre, which he thought I should go in to, but no way, everything back then was quite wonderful I was getting lots of lots of casual work as a R.N. I had friends, and life was good, even received a scholarship to do a grad qualification in Advanced Acute Nursing, at LaTrobe, Bendigo. Which I did part-time. I'd even rang then up because I was wanting to know why I was offered this scholarship and I can't remember what they said. Because I deserved it or something, to do with the Victorian Government giving away all these scholarships, probably the latter.
He is 3 months younger than me, he came out to Oz the year before me, we're both from Glasgow...jeebus ...we're almost twins, ...almost. One difference...the bastard can sing, can he sing.
I visited Khe Sanh. It's a lonely hilltop in the highlands of Vietnam. The Yanks had a helicopter base there. They became surrounded and were shelled by Vietnamese artillery. In hindsight it was a poor choice of location.
Yes, it was. There was no celebration back in January 1973, when the Vietnam War ended. I joined the United States Marine Corps 5 Oct 73. There was celebration when World War Two ended. VE-DAY victory in Europe, when the war ended there. VJ-DAY victory in Asia, when the war ended there.
Jimmy phoned it in on this one, he was gargling from the back of his throat instead of heaving from his Diaphragm,...Mossy did the work, his vocals were decent for an old fella.

Only problem is that, in so far as I recall no Australian troops were involved in that epic battle -- but I stand as always to be corrected.

Bloody oath!

Amen
It’s amazing how many generations this song is related to we came back from Afghanistan and all the boys went to work at the mines

I'm getting married in the morning
All rise for the National Anthem!
Bloody oath mate. Aussie all the way.

@@megatron5644 someone in the band musta been a 'nam vet !
The only time it is expectable for grown men down the pub to put their arms around each other was while screaming out this, most iconic of Australian songs.
How is this interpreted as the national anthem?…it speaks of Australia treating their Vietnam veterans poorly
True icons of Australian music, beats the new stuff by a far
Too right mate.
Was born in Scotland just saying,a legend
I LOVE HEARING GREAT MEN FROM MY COUNTRY DOWN UNDER
How good is it when you see Barnsey and mossy sing together
Slightly more tame than 40 years ago. But fcuk it is Chisel, doing Chisel! Love it!
A privilege to have to lived in Australia when Cold Chisel were at their peak
Jimmy is screaming his heart out but Ian Moss is harmonising. Ian is a god.
i wish he wouldn't force the raspy yell so much. the original version (and contemporary live performances) were sung smooth(ish) melodically, so the harmony was better matched. here, the rest of the band are playing their instruments with care, he's forcing a coarse yell rather than exercising similar restraint, and to me it diminishes the whole.
Like a fine wine, the older the frigging better it gets
And No Chorus
The interplay between Ian and Jimmy is amazing!
The interplay between lan and Jimmy is amazing!
Khe Sanh Cold Chisel@@LisaSmith-th1bh
Dave absolutely killed it on the harp. Amazing playing
Greatest Aussie track of all time I say
Definitely

Saw him down that bottle of vodka right in front of me way back in 81/2.

I’m Scottish but I fucking love this song , such an anthem. I feel this song is proper Australia !
Jimmy Barnes is technically Scottish as well , he was born in Glasgow and raised in Australia
Jimmy Barnes is Glaswegian
„I'm *nationality* but I like music from *other nationality*, too.“ lol
Yeah mate!!
no need to apologise for being Scottish.Rupert Murdoch is Scottish.so not all Scots aren't poor and miserable and downtrodden and misers.
The old bugger's beltin' it out as best he can!
Onya Jimmy, well done mate.
Dude is smashing that harmonica 🤘🏽
wooahh... goosebumbs! .the old bastards again !! .. still alive and still the best band on this planet !! shed a tear for the old times .. stay safe Guys !!
This song is the best ❤❤

That was one of the nicest harmonica solos I have ever heard hands down
Was lucky enough to see Chisel play the big 50 tour this year. Was one of the best gigs I’ve been to.
So good to see them together and happy
I never really liked Jimmy Barnes or Cold Chisel growing up. Then one day he was asked to sing Khe Sanh on some stupid show I was watching. No instruments, no backing, no nothing, just his voice and he killed it. Loved him ever since.
the harmonica solo gave me goosebumps!
I love this song, bring memories from my young days.............

Thanks to Robert, because as he kept on telling me, that if you don't react they can't do anything. Same in Buenos Aires, and even thesedays.
@🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸💖

Mossy’s guitar does the singing, even though he’s a very good singer in his own right.
LEGENDS

Apparently I first met J.B. in 1974 cnr. Kings Road & Draycott Avenue, Chelsea, London.
Best band ever music with 😃
Powerful
That Yammy Piano is fab!!
There was no official celebration when the Vietnam War ended in January 1973, like there was during World War Two. Semper Fidelis.
The old fella is showing it but Ian is as good as ever

I will go to the Crematorium with this blasting out!
I don't know where Judy Crozier was in 1973, she would have finished school in 1971 at Toorak College.

He is 3 months younger than me, he came out to Oz the year before me, we're both from Glasgow...jeebus ...we're almost twins, ...almost.
One difference...the bastard can sing, can he sing.
Does anybody have a link to an older live version of this song that has recently disappeared and I can't find it anymore? I am devastated...
Amazing that they are virtually unknown outside Oz. I bought Freight Train Heart and then discovered Cold Chisel.
can't wait to see you in adelaide 😭💖
Comin to see you and Paul Kelly on the 11th 👌
There ain’t nothing like the kisses from jaded Chinese princess!
Im gonna hit some Hong Kong mattress all night long...
Teenage Chinese princess.
Hell yah.
Does anybody have a link to a MUCH older, live version of this song, that disappeared from UA-cam a few years ago?
Barnsey sounds like an old man - Mossey...Yay!!!!
Does anybody have a link to a MUCH older, live version of this song, that disappeared from UA-cam over a year ago?

Not as good as it gets, but pretty good for (almost) pensioners. Still do it hard, for real and loving it. As am I!
dunka dunka dunka dudundundun
I visited Khe Sanh. It's a lonely hilltop in the highlands of Vietnam. The Yanks had a helicopter base there. They became surrounded and were shelled by Vietnamese artillery. In hindsight it was a poor choice of location.
nice
About viet nam
Yes, it was. There was no celebration back in January 1973, when the Vietnam War ended. I joined the United States Marine Corps 5 Oct 73.
There was celebration when World War Two ended. VE-DAY victory in Europe, when the war ended there. VJ-DAY victory in Asia, when the war ended there.
Daaad will clear the roads, so I get to my appointment on time please

Jimmy is like a human cockatoo sometimes
