Must have listened to this version over ten thousand times, and it still makes my pores raise. FMD i'd love to go back to that time, when the world was right, the music was fkn awesome, and we had our lives ahead of us.
Just my humble opinion but I believe this to be THE greatest version of Knocking on Heavens Door EVER.Period!!!!! A great Aussie band at their peak......R.I.P. Steve Prestwich.You will be sadly missed
I have just liked your comment. Your comment deserves so much more than 'like". There is a point in this song where I say, "That is Barnsey at his best"
I love that “lord.....”. Just brilliant. Like I said in my commentary you can see in Barnes’ performance the angry troubled young man that he later revealed himself to be. Watching his performance you get the feeling that he feels I could’ve dead tomorrow and this performance may be my last so I’m going to give it every last thing I’ve got.
Go mossy. Great song. I agree with several qualified posters that cold chisel owned this song on swingshift. They did the best job on this song in the whole world.The rest of the world is still trying.
You've seen the movie, heard the song, now read the book. Jimmy tells it like it was..brilliant stuff. On their day Cold Chisel was the best rock band in the world.
Probably shared this before, live 1980 Manly Vale. Mossy's vocals superb, his guitar solo sensational.Jimmy's intro @ 4.45 displays the talent of the man. This song displays the on stage talent that was COLD CHISEL.
Apologies to INXS, Angels, Oils AC/DC and especially the Easybeats. etc etc. I was not in Australia at this time. However, Chisel is the Greatest band ever in OZ. Subjective? you bet, but this is my opinion. Think they had it all. And they ALL wrote songs. RIP Steve.
I’m just so dam thankful I was of age to get to see them performing through there amazing career ..They are the Greatest to me as well ..such epic talent in all corners
What a rock’n’roll performance. I love this performance, f#cking brilliant. That solo how it builds intensity and the delayed gratification of Barnes singing lead last is just f#cking brilliant. You can see in Barnes’ performance the troubled angry young man that he later revealed himself to be. It just speaks to me the feeling I may not be alive tomorrow so I’m going to give this performance everything I’ve got left as this might be my last. I love that chord Moss hits after his first line “Mumma take this bade off me”. Other highlight Barnes’ opening lyric “Lord....”. The way Barnes stands and holds the mic.
No doubts and I tend to agree, really demonstrates how good they really were/still are. I grew up with the Beatles as my idols. These guys much younger than me but have a greater influence on me. 'cn luv 'em!

Sorry to hear that! Great selection, hope she would of appreciated it. Way to young, condolences. Thinking of you and your family....stay strong. All the best in hard times.
@martin84125 Swingshift version actually starts with Mossy singing - Mama come wipe the blood from my face, I can't see thru it anymore. And it's a feeling I just can't chase(?), feel like etc... I've never owned a copy, But have never forgotten the Chisel written first Verse of their version. This Vid is a great version, but it didn't quite get the hairs up like I remember the Swingshift version did.
Of course it was Don singing that second verse , you can see it in the video ! He does not have much of a vocal range but he can sing . Great piano player and song writer .
Great version, great band, great concert. Kind of makes me upset seeing this and thinking how great it was when Music Max was on Foxtel, damn I wish it was back
Totally professional group don walker always in the background but responsible for most of the songs,however they all played their part and were in my opinion the ultimate aussie band even though we had many,many great bands over the years.
i know about 8 or so years music max did a profile on a few aussie bands and then a concert after. cold chisels concert was live at the manly vale i think a full version of the concert. i had it on vcr but the tape was damaged and i cant find it anywhere does anyone have it or know where i can find it. let me know on this forum please

I heard or read somewhere that Cold Chisels cover of Wild Thing was considered the best ever by the Troggs when band members were asked (?). Dont know if thats true or not but for an original band they did some truly brilliant covers.
Absolutely love Cold Chisel and this song especially
Saw them many times on this tour. What great times. You dont know how great it is until its not there any more.
Best version of this song ever
Agreed100

So fking true my man.
He is good...one day I will hear him live
Just my humble opinion but I believe this to be THE greatest version of Knocking on Heavens Door EVER.Period!!!!! A great Aussie band at their peak......R.I.P. Steve Prestwich.You will be sadly missed
💯
When Barnes got into full noise it put a chill down my back.Cold Chisel singing this song is by far the best version even so many years later.
I have just liked your comment. Your comment deserves so much more than 'like". There is a point in this song where I say, "That is Barnsey at his best"
True 👌🏻

Chisel sang this live in Ipswich the day that Lennon died, stays with me always, just brilliant.
I didn't believe you that this actually happened...but dammit you're right! The one and only time they played Ipswich. What a night that must've been.
Just a Wow! From me 👏
Just awesome. Saw them live at the Isa back in the day 😍
Best version of this song I’ve heard🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Go Don..BRILLIANT....WOOOOOOOOH......
Luv the singing,such contrast..just awesum,and the mossy lead break ..one of my all time favourites this version...
You've seen the movie, heard the song, now read the book.
Jimmy tells it like it was..brilliant stuff.
On their day Cold Chisel was the best rock band in the world.
still are mate even on their off days

I have this on vinyl.... chills all over....
These guys together were such a strong band. Still moves me every time.
Apologies to INXS, Angels, Oils AC/DC and especially the Easybeats. etc etc. I was not in Australia at this time. However, Chisel is the Greatest band ever in OZ. Subjective? you bet, but this is my opinion. Think they had it all. And they ALL wrote songs. RIP Steve.
Man....you right..thru aussie band like Australian Crawl..
I’m just so dam thankful I was of age to get to see them performing through there amazing career ..They are the Greatest to me as well ..such epic talent in all corners

Love this cover!
love ian, jimmy, don, steve and phil. always did, always will xoxo
Swingshift had perhaps the strongest vocals from all members of the band of all of Cold Chisel’s records
live that is....
Magnificent.
Ian Moss - legend.
Rode on the back of Ian Moss' motorbike at 14, back from a gig in Kinselis, back in the day. One of those great "memory" moments I treasure now.
I LOVE this version ! I am a huge Cold Chisel fan (oh yeah and I love his curls, too, lol)
This was a great night. You guys were superb 🖤
Epic - gave me the chills
No doubts and I tend to agree, really demonstrates how good they really were/still are. I grew up with the Beatles as my idols. These guys much younger than me but have a greater influence on me. 'cn luv 'em!
I would love to know if footage exists of the version on the Swingshift album. That version is un-farkin-believable
Totally Agree!!👍
No other band comes close with Cold Chisel's Swingshift album's version but.... Barns vocals👌
Yep there is I think, with David Blake on harmonica
Damn ,chills ,Love Chisel
Cold Chisel at their best❤

Grew up on the northern beaches
This rendition of this classic bob Dylan song is absolutely fantastic...
Love Chisel.
Awesomeness

This Vid is a great version, but it didn't quite get the hairs up like I remember the Swingshift version did.
This was a pearla
oh man I wanted to go this concert. My brothers all went. But the year before I saw AC/DC at Curly Youth Club
Yeah I, m pretty sure there is, I remember seeing it on rage or mtv with David Blake on harmonica
Billy and Allen were CHISELS roadies who pased away in a crash. 1982 'Circus Animals' - last track 'Letter to Allen'....Fu&&ing 'A'....
I believe hound dog was also written about the same guys.
@@UnleashedTraining101 Hound dog is such a great track, less played, but not around here.
If an alien ship landed and asked me - 'What is rock-n-roll?'...either show this or AC/DC down Swanston.
2:36 ....wasnt barnes singing ? ....so was that ripping vocal don walker.?...didnt sound like moss ....wow ..quite a rock voice there if it was don ?
The Master songwriter Don screaming
Of course it was Don singing that second verse , you can see it in the video ! He does not have much of a vocal range but he can sing . Great piano player and song writer .
Walker is a bloody good singer
Classic!
@martin84125 Correct - this is not swingshift vesion. I seem to remeber Swingshift was recorded at Capitol Theatre Sydney???
Great version, great band, great concert. Kind of makes me upset seeing this and thinking how great it was when Music Max was on Foxtel, damn I wish it was back
Totally professional group don walker always in the background but responsible for most of the songs,however they all played their part and were in my opinion the ultimate aussie band even though we had many,many great bands over the years.
@OzTwanger Too 'cn true! Still sends shivers up my spine.

Jerry garcia band does 14min versions
This is good but Swingshift version is even better.
I agree.... but gee this version isn't too far behind.
Got have been the BEST band NOT to have made it World Wide wtf? Go Figure!
Swing shift 4 me badest dble live album evr.their version of K.O.H.DR yea man.
Mossy!!!!!
Ever heard jerry garcia do it? Live only!! 1980 would be best
Much, much better than that overrated crap version by GnR. R.I.P. Steven Prestwich
I agree whole heartily , except for Slash GnR were crap .
they have copied a little of mossys notes...itsa a compliment to chisel from g n r's
Was a good version, BUT, sorry "SWINGSHIFT" take is the "ultimate"!!! Shivers up the spine shite. WHY? Because CHISEL perform it! No offence!
