Cold Chisel - Bow River Reaction
Mossy comes in with that gorgeous voice: “I’m about to tell you a story”
Harmonica guy: “Oh yeah? Well check this out!”
Mossy’s guitar solo: “But wait…”
Barnesy: “Hold my beer”
It’s all just perfect 🤌🏼
Indeed! These guys really are awesome!
Absolutely
So could not have put it better!!!!
Harmonica Guy is Dave Blight, an Adelaide blues legend. He's played with Chisel since their self titled debut album in 1978.
Spotto brother❤🤙🇳🇿
Barnesy and Mossy's voices are like chocolate and peanut butter. Just so perfect together.
No costumes, no gimmicks, just pure rock and roll talent 😎😎😎
He's not trying to get out of Bow River. He's working in a factory 6 days' drive south of it. Bow river is in northern Western Australia. Six days separate him from the big Top End (northern edge of the continent). So first set of wheels he can get, he'll be back in Bow River again. Thanks for playing it
David Blight ...on the harmonica...f...en Classic!!!!
They deliver the goods
One reason Moss and Barnes (and the rest of the band) can read each other so well is that the band started as a pub band - the whole pub rock genre was about live performances. play virtually daily with the same bunch of blokes for years and you quickly get to see where they're going and how to fit your part in seamlessly, without conscious thought. It's the hallmark of a great live performance.
The perfect rock song in every way, just pure talent all round on stage!! The forever young man on the keyboards is Don Walker, the mastermind behind some of the best Cold Chisel lyrics you’ve yet to discover but every single member of this band has written songs. Brilliant reaction, really fun to watch you discover our boys.
👍
Kappy, watching this I was thinking, if this was an American band, would they have made it biggish lol. As you know, we’ve had and have so much talent in so many music genres and other fields. Other countries only know the tip of the iceberg here. Then I pondered 🤔 lol. I sort of like it personally, our own private party in many fields of everything had been going on her for many decades, and we were the lucky ones in Aus invited to the party lol
I truly am looking forward to exploring all of their music. They are a top tier band 100%. Thank you! This is really fun for me!
every member have not just written songs but chart topping hit songs
@@bernadettelanders7306 funny thing is a lot of Americans regard this as country music in a way it has some roots in country with Mossy 's background and all but it is also straight out pure rock
IMHO Chisels would of done ok in the rock charts but I would think they would of been #1 in country but thanks to some dipshit we will never know now
Off the scale raw talent
Aussies rocking it out.. perfection!
Listening to an American say "Come on Jimmy" is priceless!!
The Chisel East album is one of the best albums to ever come out. This is what you get when musicians create music rather than factories. I saw them so many times in my youth and it was always electric. Another great band to check out is Midnight Oil and their Blue Sky Mines. A political rock band. And a huge part of aussie rock
I can tell you hearing them live is unbelievable I went to a few of their concerts, and They got the whole place Jumping, it's just one big party, and they tore the place down! The more Jimmy was drinking from that bottle of vodka the louder he got, and the harder we all partied.
Well Texas, now you know the sort of stuff that goes on in the Aussie tent, lol. We shall save you a space and shout you a beer or three. 😃
LOL I'm ready!
How awesome is this
A working class American loving working class Australian music 🎶 yes
I think a lot of Australia and a lot of Texas can relate for sure!
A lot of Chisel’s songs are about working class themes of drudgery in meaningless jobs, regrets about old places or relationships etc, truly Australia’s Blues, what Blues is all about. They even played with John Lee Hooker live from memory.
Speechless. Haven't heard this one
🥰Ian Moss is Jimmy,s brother,🤞by another mother.💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
💥BOOM💥 Aussie rock music at its finest👌🇦🇺❤️
That wasn't a performance, that was a full throttle, balls out, pub rock party
Just a bit of random info for you. After Cold Chisel Steve Prestwich the drummer went and joined another famous Australian band called The Little River Band (LRB) who was fronted in that carnation by another Australian legend John Farnham.
The Auto industry was based in Adelaide, in South Australia. Bow River is near the border of Western Australia & Northern Territory, in 'the great top end'.
Any cold chisel live doesn't ever let you down.The best live band I have seen. Been to many of there concerts since 1978 and just get better like a fine wine.
Cold Chisel is now in my list of favorite bands, their stage presence is so energetic!
Excellent Reation , thanks again from Melbourne Australia
Thank you from Texas!
Bow river is a tributary of the Ord River, starting just south of Lake Argyle. Here's a link to a video about the area, although I think this is from north of the lake. The area has two seasons, the wet and the dry.

My hubby spent 7 years at Argyle Mine Site and also Sonny Mulay. Not correct spelling for a while. About 2 hours from Kununurra. Said they gave up replacing bow river sign as it kept getting stolen.
We're so lucky here in Australia to have SO much talent.
I'm 71 now and I've seen an rocked at many live concerts, including COLD CHISEL when they first started out here in Adelaide, been fortunate to see so many solo entertainers, Aussie bands, international band over the years.
I still go and enjoy every moment.
Some of them no longer with us.

Love how Jimmy rocking the radio mike shoved down the front of his pants. He needed both hands to make sure the audience claps in time.
LOL!
Truly the one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Hey from the future (it’s 4am Monday in Sydney)..David Blight is the harmonica player. He is a talented musician in his own right. Also Barnsey and Mossy have been playing together on & off since around 1975 when they were teenagers and when I’ve seen them play live together it’s like they can predict what the other is going to do. Jimmy kept most of Australia entertained during COVID when he would use instagram to sing from his home studio. Jimmy’s kids are talented musicians as well. He and his son David Campbell sing an excellent version of “you’ve lost that loving feeling” together. David was born when jimmy was 17 and was raised by his maternal grandmother who he was told was his mother with him only finding out later he is jimmy barnes son..David is great singer, does musicals and is a co-host on morning TV.
Thanks for the information and some back story! I'm learning more every day. I really want to get Jimmy's books soon!
@@Texas_Love his books are also available as audio books if your not into reading so much.
David Blight nearly cut his hand off the other day…
@@janreznak881 how?
Your smile is infectious, watching your videos cheers me up, even better when it's my favourite band.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you had fun!!
Cold Chisel a great Aussie rock band with Barnes and Moss alternating lead vocals an their songs and genius keys and composer Walker Prestwich on drums and Small on bass not to mention the inimitable David Blight on Harmonica how could they be anything less than outstanding
Just loving your reactions to our Aussie talent. Where else would you find a band like Cold Chisel with two great singers out front like Barnsey and Mossy. You’d be lucky to have one of them.😊
Thank you! They are an extreme talent without question! I agree, to have either in your band would be a great honor. Not too many musicians of that caliber walking around!
I’ve had the privilege of seeing Cold Chisel live many times over the years, including recently. They always put on one hell of a show.
they where the best pub band . I had the pleasure of seeing them live at least 50 times when i was young now 60
That must have been incredible, what a bunch of awesome memories!
Another great classic Australian harmonica song is “Blue Sky Mine” by Midnight Oil.
So happy you enjoyed it! I loved this reaction
Thank you! This was a fun one!!
Gotta love the chisel, bit o star hotel!
Loving watching you see this stuff for the first time. Ive been listening to these guys for 40 years. I guess you can kinda take them for granted but watching you is like hearing it for the first time myself
Thank you!
Harmonica masterclass
Oh yeah and Dave Blight on harp would session in with Chisel and blow the house down through the early 80's. Amazing musician.
A fucking powerhouse of talent!!!
Thanks for reacting to Chisel, Barnsey and Farnsey! Makes me appreciate them so much more watching your first reactions. 🇦🇺
Thank you! They are all awesome!
Agree
Glad you found CC, they are a national icon, I got a few mates in Texas, they love Aussie rock & Midnight oil are a particular favourite as well.
If you could only have just one video to show a newcomer to Cold Chisel, this is the one. It might be two decades after the studio album and the peak of their commercial success, but for me the band were at the very height of their power on this tour. Back in the day it was mostly a Barnesy show, his vocals and stage antics were so strong that it distorted our perception of Chisel as a band. Move forward 20 years to this video though and you see them as equals of deep talent, seasoned pros aware of and reveling in their musical abilities, songwriting and chemistry.
In this one, Jimmy uses that monster voice with nuance and respect for Mossy's lead vocal. The song really has it all: great solos, dynamic range from soft guitar chords all the way to wide open party jam and back to quiet again. Two great vocalists, five great instrumentalist, evocative lyrics, epic harp stylings and complete control of a very enthusiastic crowd. This is all of Cold Chisel in one track
The perfect Chisel tune to get new fans of the band before they discover the variety of their song list
A great fun one is Jimmy Barns and John Farnham singing ‘Something Is Wrong With My Baby’ live version, just great. Great reaction thankyou
Thank you! I'm going to wait a couple of weeks to kind of get the song out of my head since we saw the official video for it already. I want to be less familiar with it when we watch the live version. They are so good!
May I recommend your next chisel song be “you got nothing I want” live from ‘the last stand’ concert (same concert as wild thing 1983), it’s jimmy’s message to the American record companies🤣
Coming soon!
So please you enjoyed this! ....and yep, some of the coolest harmonica ever (though John Farnham's Chain Reaction 1990 live concert version also has pretty wicked harmonica too)
David Blight
Nice, we will see it here for sure! Love the Harmonica!
Fantastic, one of my faves!! Great reaction!
Thank you, I loved it!
Yes yes yes!! Just what I needed after a hard Monday at work!! Thanks mate, made my day! Cold Chisel are a rabbit hole of amazing music!
No doubt! More Cold Chisel coming soon, they are for sure on my favorite bands list already!
"When the War is Over" from the same concert in 2003 is also excellent with the vocals from Ian and Jimmy complementing each other. It's a totally different vibe, but just amazing. 🥰
It's coming soon! Many of you have suggested it so it must be another one of those epic songs!
I saw it in Sydney, you can hear one of my “woh”s on the DVD lol.
Bow River is just Aussie Rock... our music
Great reaction mate, so glad you enjoyed it. They do some great slow songs together too - I'd recommend "Saturday night" for starters. It's basically about being at the end of a big night out in the city. Barnesy and Mossy work as a unit again.
Thank you! I guarantee we will see it in the near future!
Legends
your smile says it all 🙂
You're a certified Aussie now brother. 🙏🏻🥳🇦🇺
Mossy is a country boy from the top end (the northern territory) the song is about working in a big city but he just wants to go back home
Thank you for the clarification! Great song!
THIS is a PERFECT song!!! Loving me some Chisel. They are ALL incredible 👏👏👏
There is a Bow River in the far south-west of my state, Western Australia. However there is also one in the far north of the state in the Kimberley region with the same name. There is also a cattle station ( ranch ) in the same area, where Ian Moss's brother had once worked. Whatever the origins of the song, it's a bloody good one and one of my all-time favourites.
there's a great song by a Aussie band called the Angels the song is called "Am i ever going to see your face again" and Doc Neeson is a great singer
Thanks brother perfect!🇭🇲🇺🇲🇭🇲
Yeah, you really have to Strap yourself in with this one !
The harmonica on this track is off the Richter Scale. Love it! ☮️
Our boys will always be the best rock band in our country👍🏻👍🏻
Jimmy is the front man for Cold Chisel & Ian Moss is the guitarist for the same band. True Aussie icons. Love it! @Texas_Love
The best thing is that they are all great musicians . Jimmy could just take over but he holds himself back until the end giving Ian a chance to make the song his , love his smooth voice . One of the worlds best harmonica players but the piano man isnt exactly a chump either. Theres a heap of material out there for you to check out , Bring it on , it never gets old no matter how many times we hear it .
You’ve probably been told beforehand but this is the first listen to you. Bow River is in a number of states but in this case it related to the Northern Territory. And the Slogan for that pseudo state of Australia is :
CU in the NT. You can get a TShirt with that logo.
Greetings from West Oz. 🎉
Thanks for the info! Howdy from Texas!
The very same concert you should check out,
When The war Is Over.
The two of them hit their higher notes and just let rip. Amazing song to witness at its best.
It's coming soon for sure!
Will be seeing Mossy in concert next month ! I'm sure this will be his encore 😁
A few Chisel classics are: Goodbye (Astrid goodbye), Four Walls, Khe Sanh, Star Hotel, Choir Girl, When the War is Over, Flame Trees, ...the list goes on & on.....
✌️
Thank you!
Great way to get your Sunday started, mate. This is Aussie pub rock exhibit one.
The best way to start Saturday lol! I'm loving the Aussie pub rock!
Chisel we’re really good at utilising all the talent in the band 👏
As an Aussie who loves Chisel, I love your reaction 🥰
Thanks Mate for a great reaction , for a Mossy solo check out his song Tucker's Daughter it's terrific ,also Barnesy has a Daughter MICHALEA BARNES who is every bit as good a singer as her dad , check out her song NASTY GAL which is phenomenal or RIDING WITH THE KINGS or her singing on a collaboration the Australian mega hit THE REAL THING a cover of a Russell Morris song , you won't be disappointed
Mahalia Barnes
@@miamcknight9138 thanks for the fact check .
Wish we could turn back time. 🇦🇺❤️
Solid harmonies..
Best Aussie band ever. Great times from the late 70s.
My fav Chisel song! What a legendary band.
Imagine seeing this stuff every weekend for 10 bucks 20 minutes from your home. Aussies in the 90's..
Hey there Tex - Here's another very iconic Aussie rock band to add to your workout playlist, who also incorporate a fair bit of harmonica in their music....PLEASE would you react to
Midnight Oil - Blue Sky Mine ( ua-cam.com/video/Ofrqm6-LCqs/v-deo.html )
The song is about the town of Wittenoom here in the north west of Western Australia, which was abandoned in 1978 and removed from maps 2007 , due to the asbestos mining disaster.
The mining company knew the asbestos was deadly to people, but they said nothing and hundreds of people died from asbestosis lung disease.
Midnight Oil have been environmental protection warriors and political activists since the early 70s, and have some awesome on point music. Enjoy
Midnight Oil is coming soon!
Definitely recommend trying their solo stuff.
Barnes has been more successful overall, but I personally tend to prefer Mossy. Mossy’s latest album in 2018 was his first electric album for 22 years and so deserved more airplay
Hey man, do yourself a big favour and watch the documentary "working class boy" by Jimmy barnes its his life story basically, about how he came to Elizabeth (bow river) as a boy and this town messed him up (I live here, my dad was his mate in high school) The Holden factory used to be here before everyone was laid off. A lot of unemployment and social problems in Elizabeth!
I will see it soon for sure, I already know it's gonna be good!
I love this version so much. If you had to explain to aliens what awesome rock and roll was, just play them this 🤣
The band, have known each other most of their lives
Bloody hell, mate. They'll kick you out of the reaction union. You actually did a bit of research on the song, thank you! I don't see how some of your 'peers' can sit there with there faces hanging out and critique someone and have no idea about the song, the band and in a couple of cases they forgot the bands name. You are a breath of fresh air.
mossy doin Georgia on my mind is incredible
Love the Joy on ya face Bruvva!
😀🤘🤘Thanks buddy!
you gotta see when the war is over from same show...trust me!...new sub from new zealand great channel...seen barnesy and chisel well over 20 times...never miss them when they come to town.
You mentioned Barnsey and Mossy vibing, if you watch their live shows you'll notice Jimmy often looking at Mossy or Walker (pianist). This live version is nothing short of perfection. Including the video and editing. Perfection.
While Bow River is not one of their biggest or most well known numbers, for many Chisel fans it is always at the top of the list. (or very close to the top)
You’ve probably noticed how proud of our pub rock, us Aussies are, through all the comments on various videos. It’s a shame the record companies didn’t promote it more in the USA. I reckon you might have heard a lot more of it in the 70’s and 80’s on American radio. Having lived in Texas for a few years, I reckon you guys in the south would have loved it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this classic.
Fun fact....Adelaide South Australia (cold chisel's home town) is a sister city of Austin Texas
the harmonica player nearly cut his hair off the other day
To me,,, the harmonicas long haunting notes at the start really bring the Bush to life....
Honestly think you’d get a kick out of Flame Trees. Of all the Cold Chisel songs that one probably has the fondest place in Australian hearts
Great reaction 💥
Like most of Cold Chisel's songs this was written by Don Walker, the Piano player and though both Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes have written great songs Don is like the Godfather of song writers in Australia though I expect the most successful Australian song writer is probably Joy McKean but that's another story.
Barnes and Moss fought like cat and dog. There are stories of them driving around Sydney in a mini beating crap out of each other from the front seat to the back seat. 😂
That was Jimmy and Steve, not Mossy
My absolute all time favourite song, about a bloke getting out of a rut and living
I know that story on a personal level! Great song!🤘😃
Hey man, there’s a great harmonica intro to chain reaction from one of John Farnhams concerts(wearing a black shirt)😎✌️
Thank you, we will see it here for sure!
