Best rock band on the planet in the early 80's, so tight, so accomplished and although it may sound strange given the power and energy.... just so effortlessly, the way they feed of each other and the entire band never misses a beat when live.
I was in Newy for a surf comp the weekend before and my mate was saying "Stay around until wednesday. The Star's closing and it's going to be a big night".
It certainly has been while since you’ve reacted to Cold Chisel, but anytime is a good time to revisit them. This was another song written by the brilliant Don Walker (on keys). Jimmy Barnes, rock god extraordinaire, is so good ❤
this songs about the real star Hotel Newcastle after a huge street broke out, back when you'd actually go out & see live bands as I did chisel so many times, and countless more
Here's a few more Chisel requests :) .... Breakfast at sweethearts Goodbye (Astrid goodbye) Forever Now Choir Girl Merry-go-round One long day Rising Sun Ita
To this day, it is remembered as Newcastle's "night of infamy": a Wednesday night, almost exactly 45 years ago, which started much like any other but ended in violent confrontation as about 40 police battled more than 4000 rioters angered by the closure of the Star Hotel in the city's West End. Peace out.
Remember it well Newcastle NSW Australia, the big riot, Cold Chisel formed in 1973 broke up after the Last Stand Concert in Sydney in 1983 and reformed in 1998.
As good examples of Chisel's variety: "Breakfast at Sweethearts": live in Germany, 1982 ua-cam.com/video/9H-6saoHWuQ/v-deo.html "Janelle": live from "Last Stand", 1983. Same concert as "Wild Thing". ua-cam.com/video/Ba2DJcK30O8/v-deo.html Breakfast is (more or less) reggae; Janelle a beautiful, bluesy Don Walker song for/to his daughter.

I love the energy in this one. Great track.
This is what happens when Aussies have their favourite pub shut down. They get a tad upset.
We don't do football hooliganism but don't mess with our watering holes - especially when they are great live venues.

Cold Chisel had the same sort of energy as The Clash.

Breakfast at Sweethearts has a strong reggae, bluesy feel.
Always loved this one, and always better live.
Don Walker the genius.. this song is hard to put in a category... a lot of their songs are like that.. fuck I love the Chisels...
The Star was wild but it was a great live band venue in Newcastle.

Close - it was 1997. And their release of the first single from the new Last Wave of Summer album, was awesome! Yakuza Girls.
Never a bad day with a Chisel reaction.
Have a look at 'Janelle' and 'Breakfast at Sweethearts' to hear them change it up a bit.
Oh yes i can hear some Sting in this! Fantastic song.
Don Walker had an interview whilst driving and talking about how he wrote those songs of cold chisel
You've got to check out Standing on the outside and Merry go round. 👍🏻
Pretty sure theres a Star Hotel, Railway Hotel, Globe Hotel or Newmarket Hotel in every town in Australia 🤣
you should listen to "breakfast at sweethearts" that has a great reggae vibe to it - it was one of their earlier songs 1979?
