Welcome back! 💩 I’m finally reacting to this highly requested video! Many of you wanted me to react to Cold Chisel, Bow River 2003 Live. Y’all have the best suggestions! This was SO MUCH FUN ❤️

The music from this period is colloquially known as Pub Rock, as that is where most bands in Australia got their start. AC/DC, INXS, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Midnight Oil, Rose Tattoo, The Baby Animals and many more great local bands emerged from this system. The music was all about entertaining the punters because if you didn't do that quickly they showed their displeasure. This is why Australian bands from this period are best seen live. However, in the early 1990s most Pubs & Clubs put in Poker Machines for entertainment and killed this pathway for musicians to hone their music and this unique style disappeared from our landscape.
Hence The Whitlams classic ballad, Blow Up the Pokies
@@ray.shoesmith An excellent musical reference and one I was thinking about when I wrote this.
It's revving again in Newcastle. My son is very much involved. Strong support from local government, business and venues. Immense local talent, energetically mentored by the musos from the classic pub rock period. It's exciting.
@@peterireland4344 This is. truly fantastic news. I just hope the rest of Australia can get it together so this talent will have other places to play at.
One of the best songs the world has never heard.
Imagine sitting in a Pub (hotel) venue Sunday afternoon, then Cold Chisel come on...this is what you see 👀 and hear.
I’d love it!
This song originally came out as a b side, but the people spoke and made it the hit, it is
Oh that’s amazing! I’m glad they did 🙌
It took... decades for that to happen. I had the "other" (older but just as good) live version on cassette and wore it out, but nobody knew it.
1 week, 2 weeks maybe even more, pissing all my money up against the damn wall. Australian poetry right there.
Sounds like a country music song 😂
Lets give some credit to Ian Moss and his amazing voice
Most definitely! I didn’t mention it in this video but he really does have an amazing voice!
I love Mossy , Jimmy is great but Mossy is my favourite
Smooth as silk Mossy.
So Bow River is sung by Ian Moss who is the Lead Guitarist out of Cold Chisel, in this performance with added vocals by Jimmy. Ian is an Australian legend in his own right with a number of solo albums to his credit and many videos on You Tube. He is also one of Australia's best guitarists with his own guitar style that many guitarists in the 80's and 90's were influenced by. And he has a great voice as well.
Oh I know! I love Ian’s voice too. But I’m a big Jimmy fan 😊
@@ToniaElkins
Thank you for your reply. Yes, I love Barnsey too, and being Australian and very nearly 70, I've followed his whole career. If you've listened to Joe Bonamassa, two of his daughters are in his backing vocal trio and have performed with him for six or seven years, perhaps longer. I've played guitar most of my life and that is why I laud Ian Moss. 😺
just saw jimmy on Friday nite in new zealand... voice is as good as ever...such a awesome nite
Oooh I’m so jealous! ❤️
Awesome! Seeing him in November, Western Australia.☮️
your daughter needs to see this! And yes youre correct - whenever watching John Farnham or Jimmy Barnes youve gotta go the LIVE version! its THE LAW
Mossy is a true genius what a talent
Yes he’s absolutely incredible! 💜
Best harmonica player ever period jeeeeezzzusss are you freakin 😮kidding me
Chris Wilson says hello
The writer of this song Ian Moss grew up in Alice Springs.
Legendary blues musician Chris Wilson, featured here on the harnonica , sadly died five years ago, on January 16 2019. Chris was also an accomplished saxophonist and vocalist too.
Chris is a great player, but this is David Blight.
@@michaelharris2101 thank you.
Is that cool T Shirt a birthday present happy birthday. 🤩
Lol nah I’ve had it for a few years. Thank you! 🥰
My favourite song of theirs!! Mossy is a legend!
Took me back to the mid 70's watching the B/W portable TV in my bedroom while the oldies were watching the new Rank Arena colour in the lounge. Of course this track wasn't released until Circus Animals came out in early 82 and I had upgraded to colour by then. Yes Australian music is very much influenced by American blues rock or British pop and we probably developed our own sounds by mixing the two. Have a listen to Breakfast at Sweethearts by Chisel, its a great song. Cheers.
Yeah I really love that about the Aussie music I’ve listened too. Great lyric writing! And thank you for the suggestion 🥰
Best harp player ever!!! ☮️
Hey Tonia, Paul here, from the land down under, if you haven't listened to already, Jimmy Barnes and Joe Bonamassa together, doing Stone Cold. This is a classic. Must listen. An older Jimmy, but wow.
I love that one!
the guy singing is Ian Moss
check out his song
tuckers daughter
Give Mossie some love on lead guitar and vocals 👏
I didn’t say anything in this video but yes he’s amazing as well! ❤️
This performance illustrates how great musicians display their expertise as they grow older especially with this song which was usually the last one in their set. If you see earlier versions of this song, you will see how they have improved this performance , in particular, by increasing the participation of the harmonica player, David Blight. He was not one of the usual Cold Chisel members, but made guest appearances on some of their songs such as this one. I believe he was also on Khe Sanh as well. In any case, I believe his presence in this song really pushes this version to the highest levels.
I'm glad you're a Jimmy fan - he has certainly brought so much to the world of rock music in Oz and he is world class. I would recommend his album 30:30 Hindsight where he redid versions of many of the songs from his 30 year solo career. I think you may have already seen one of the tracks in "Stone Cold" with Joe Bonamassa. I would recommend you watch the video of another song from the album called "Lay Down Your Guns" with the Oz band "The Living End". It is a great up-tempo track which I'm sure you'll enjoy - th-cam.com/video/Wdv9qL7AMj0/w-d-xo.html.
I did enjoy that harmonica player! That was great. Thank you for the other suggestions! 🥰
I've seen them live a dozen times, admittedly before this tour. They always finished with Wild Thing as an encore when I saw them, except the final time I saw them at the Horden when it was Goodbye Astrid.
p.s Dave Blight played on just about every album and on a lot of their tours.
Pub rock at its best.
It's an 80s track
They parted in the 80s and reformed to do a few concerts.
It’s known as Australia pub rock.A lot of bands had to do the hard work to earn their place in Australia’s music industry, we were so spoiled in the 70s & 80s as we had the best kick arse bands in the world.

Hi Tonia. I Agree with you while heartedly about Jimmy. He's so awesome. Ian Moss also. I'd like to suggest a couple of Chisel songs that don't get many requests. I'm not sure why because they are great. One is called Misfits about youth homelessness. They other is called Letter from Allen. The version I love is live from Rockpalast Germany back is the 80's. I've watched the whole concert in 1982 many many times. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/zc3gDLjqZyQ/w-d-xo.html
Even the song Forever Now is much better than their bands You Tube page as it has sound issues. Enjoy ❤
Then you have his first solo concert in 1984 live at The Playroom. Man it's great. ❤❤❤
PS Australian bands from the 60's took sounds from everywhere, from England and America. I wasn't even born yet but some of the covers did really well. Examples include John Farnham with Beatles song Help, Zoot (Rick Springfield's band before his solo hit Jessie's Girl) with Beatles hit Eleanor Rigby, Doug Parkinson cover if Dear Prudence. Then there was a band called The Easybeats. Jimmy covered one of their songs called Good Times with INXS. This band were Australia's answer to the Beatles, with front man Stevie Wright. Jimmy Barnes takes a lot of influences from America too, but more from the Sam and Dave era I'd say.
An American beauty who came to Australia at the age of 16 and has stayed would be Marcia Hines.
A band who sounds like The Eagles would be The Stars. Also from Adelaide where Jimmy landed as an immigrant from Glasgow, Scotland. Sadly one of their band members passed, Andy Durant RIP. He was a great song writer...He played guitar and usually was back up singer to their lead vocalist Mick Pearling. The only full song sang by him was West is the Way......
PS what Aussie bands had to do to make it, was sing live in the pubs and clubs, and travel a lot. Chisel did that so well. Jimmy was only 16 and a half when he started....and he's still going strong 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I first saw Cold Chisel in 1976 in Sydney. They were still teenagers.
If you haven't reacted already, Jimmy with joe bonomasa is unreal! Stone cold.
Oh! I miss my pub days Chisel, the tatts, angels crowded house, great venues Local Inn at West Ryde, Stagedoor Tavern in the City & the Bondi Lifesaver, some other great songs were Shipping Steel, Breakfast at Sweethearts, Choir Girl, Forever now.
Bow River was released in 1982, and the style is Aussie Pub Rock. A legendary song in Australia!
Yes, Jimmy always was and still is sexy as hell lol.... Cold Chisel are by far the best band in the world for me and Chisel had so many different genres. You should try Janelle, this little song, small and special.
Thank you for the song suggestion! 💜
The piano player is also exceptional.
Your right this song and performance is so fun. Thanks for the amazing reaction. Please react to Jimmy Barnes “a change is gonna come” live in 1984, his vocals In this one is insane
Ok thank you for the suggestion 🥰
G'day folks. Jimmy is better when he doesn't shout.
Swingshift (live) 1981 by Cold Chisel tops my list of all time great live albums.
Interesting observation about parallels with country music, certainly one of the things about Cold Chisel that made them stand out was how they wrote songs about our lives and experiences. (says the 60+ guy)
Absolutely Tonia. I think you absolutely nailed the “Country Music Vibe” because all these bands toured through rural Australia back in the 80’s. Especially to Tamworth (Australia’s version of Nashville). John Farnham, Jimmy Barnes and all the rest have connections to Tamworth. Keith Urban. Russell Crowe. Kasey Chambers. The Wiggles were previously “The Cockroaches”. It’s all connected in one way or another to “Country Music”. Ian Moss played just down the road a couple of months ago.
Thankyou for the reaction Tonya 😊 it reminds me of back in the day 👋✌️
Uniquely Australian ♥️ music 🎵🎶
The best thing about Chisel is that their songs are very diverse in style, and that's because they all wrote the songs. Bow River was written by Ian Moss (who sang it). Don Walker - the keyboard player - writes a lot of their songs, and he covers many genres. Steve Prestwich (RIP) the drummer wrote great ballads. Jimmy Barnes writes... well... repetitive songs. He should stick to singing in my opinion.
The Greatest Live performance...............Cold Chisel !
Great reaction like always, thanks for listening with us
Thank you 🥰
Is there a more Aussie line than
"piss all my money up against the damn wall"🍻
Lmao I know a lot of Americans like this too 😂
@@ToniaElkins good girl, keep it up Tonia, cheers🍺 🧱
Have a look at Flame Trees, Forever Now, Choir Girl, Cheap Wine (first hit). Standing On The Outside
Awesome! Thank you for the suggestions! 🥰
@@ToniaElkins oh, and Khe Sahn, written about the brother of one of the band, about Australian Vietnam Vets is just about Australia's unofficial national anthem. Any Aussie will be able to sing this.
nice 1 hope you enjoyed it
Most definitely!
you will love four walls jimmy kills it.
G'day there! I've just seen the best cover I've ever seen! You HAVE to watch Australian country singer Kasey Chambers do Lose Yourself by MnM! Anyone reading this go and witness an INCREDIBLE performance of one the greatest songs of ALL TIME!!!
I’ve done a reaction to that actually 🥰
I think many American John Cougar Mellencamp and Bruce Springsteen fans would’ve loved Cold Chisel if they had a taste of them 40 years ago.
For sure! I definitely wish I would’ve known about many of these great Aussie artists back then. Good thing we have TH-cam these days lol.
from oz.
🇦🇺🇦🇺,I watched him about 10 years ago in a bar doing an acoustic gig, he really is awesome,...go Australia
GO AUSTRALIA!! 🇦🇺🦘
I am jealous of your tripod, Tonia.... All I could think of was it slowly going down on you.....
Yeah it’s fair to say that 80s Oz rock has a different feel to the writing style. Definitely some “earthier” feels like you might find in country, but that’s just a small part of the story.
Almost as if there’s a special connection that we have to this country and it can’t be explained easily, but it is instantly felt and recognised.
I've waited 6 months for you to do this reaction. It was worth it
Lol I’m so sorry you had to wait so long. I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Australia mate.
Great reaction, you should come Down Under to experience some live music 🎶.
I first heard Jimmy play at the ski fields in Queenstown New Zealand you would love it.
I would absolutely LOVE to be able to do that!!
It a song about Ian Moss's brother Bow River is a sheep station
Jimmy Barnes is Australia's James Brown. Ian Moss is Australia's Bruce Springsteen. Together they are Cold Chisel.
Jimmy is the male equivalent of Tina Turner.
Knew you'dove it. Thnx
Thank you to all of you who suggested it! It’s definitely one of my new favs!
watch bal a versaille and four walls both by cold chisel.
Thank you for the suggestions! 🥰🫶
If you like Jimmy then check out 1984 live version, “a change is gonna come” this is ridiculous.
try khe sanh by cold chisel.......
Good choice Tonia, loved it 👍
Thank you! I do love the Aussie artists 🥰
Yeah there has been some goodies over the years, a lot of Aussie bands and singers don't or didn't get the credit they deserve. So reactions like yours and people from other country's are nice to see. Also a lot of reactors don't reply so thanks for taking the time as I noticed you have replied to most of the comments thank you.
@@stuwhiteman3810 When I was a teenager, 2 of my favorite bands were Savage Garden (who I still listen to all the time) and Silverchair. It’s such a shame that here in the states we missed out on so many other amazing artists from Australia and other countries. But I absolutely love learning about all of them now.
I’m not sure why other creators don’t reply much but I love chatting with everyone in the comments 😊 Sometimes it’s overwhelming, sometimes it can take hours or days, but I try to reply as much as I can. ❤️
Thanks again Tonia for taking the time to reply. Oh cool yeah Silverchair have some great songs and Savage Garden, I hope you enjoy your journey with more Aussie bands. Some made it big AC/DC, Little River Band, Air Supply, Bee Gees, John Farnham and the like. But there are a lot more that you may not have heard of so looking forward to perhaps some of the more obscure that would be fun, anyway I don't want to tell you what you should listen to that is your choice. Take care my friend and keep up the good work.
Just one you might like, not sure if I'm allowed to do this but just have a listen, it's not heavy and it's not rock n roll it's just a song by Little River Band not sure if you have heard it?
th-cam.com/video/9bKwRW0l-Qk/w-d-xo.html
Cheers Stu
@@stuwhiteman3810 Yes anyone can leave suggestions and I try my best to save them and add them to my very long list 😂
love your tv shirt ! what is it ?????
Thanks! It’s the Jigsaw Puppet Billy from the movie Saw 😊
80s Aussie rock had just as much British influence as American
Oh yes I’m sure it did! 😊
@@ToniaElkins for one of my faves and a stalwart of good aussie pub rock check out Spy v Spy Don't tear it down
Love ya tshirt
Thank you! I’m a huge horror movie fan 🖤
@@ToniaElkins same
Hey if you like Chisel, have a listen to this soundtrack ' v=AsPJ6RlkQr8 ' written by Don Walker for a movie you've probably never heard of in the USA. You'll hear the similarity to the Chisel style I'm sure. I first heard Chisel in 1975 when they did a lunchtime concert at my high-school before they became famous, the entry fee was like 0.60 cents, seems like a joke nowadays but it's true.
Has Dr kap been kidnapped?
I really don’t want to be critical, you had a nice visceral reaction to the song but I’d advise that storey telling is very international because it is cultural. Everyone has stories. And everyone has songs. Actually Springsteen ripped off a lot of his “shtick” from Val Morrison but with less nuance - his stories are important as well but I think that most in the western world give the storey telling prize to the Irish. But everyone’s story is important in itself and shouldn’t be the lackey of someone else, especially a conglomerate of media heavyweights who generally are in America.
Ok, I understand that. However I was speaking of country music specifically. They have a different way of storytelling. I grew up with it. I know it very well. And as someone who listens to all genres, I can tell the difference. It’s a pretty well known fact that country music is known for this. Not to downplay anyone else, I’m purely speaking about the fact that those 2 have the same way of storytelling.
@@ToniaElkins oh dear
I disagree to it sounding American.
This was born from a very hard drinking, working class pub culture.
Pre internet, we had a class rock music that was constantly on tour nation wide.
Bands like acdc were also born from this working class pub culture
You will find a rabbit hole of A grade rock from bands little known outside of australia
We had all of that here in the states too. Bands would (and still do) play in bars and pubs etc. That’s how they grow a following but it’s sadly not the same anymore.
@ToniaElkins I think the music industries from both nations, and even the British music industry to boot, back in the day, pushed their local talents through the radio stations.
There was a global industry, Australia's size restricted its outreach and hence became little known outside of Australia.
I agree that many artists started in pubs, the radio stations filled the pubs and sold the albums, our top artists couldn't make enough money with such a small population exposure, so they stayed in pubs and worked the scene.
It was Awesome! at a. Consumer level 😀
Yeah nah… this song is about Ian Moss. Everybody loves Jimmy but come on now
I do love Ian too! I just get very excited every time I listen to Jimmy lol
I have to say i dont get these "Comments" on Videos- you the feature band ( The talent) as a 1/4 of the screen. You clearly have limited knowledge ooif the song and the band- you say at the start you LOVE Jimmys Voice- yet this song is sung by Ian Moss. Why do you do these things when you dont know the bands and the songs involved- Curious. I was out after 45 seconds
\
Because I’m reacting to music I’ve never heard. We didn’t get to hear these bands years ago so it’s new to us. Are you brand new to reaction videos dude? Besides, I’m a VLOGGER who also likes doing reaction videos. Plus if you’re clicking off before you see anything I do or say then you can’t really comment cuz you didn’t watch it. 🤷🏻♀️
No no no..when the war is over LIVE by cold chisel...thatz what you need to hear...ya goofy m8te from Australia
Lol I’ve heard it and have a video already of it
