Yeah nah! you did the wrong one it’s the 2003 version that is the best one it’s so phenomenal sorry this is good but the 2003 one goes up so many levels. Its blows this out the water.. do yourself a favour and react to that one… 🧐😊🇦🇺
Bow River LIVE, 2003 is the best recorded version in my opinion. They are still quite young in this recording. By 2003 they were much older and more refined and really knew how to milk the song for everything they could.
Live live live is always best for Cold Chisel. This is a mash up from different concerts. Lead singer on this song is Ian Moss aka Mossy (singer/guitarist) with harmonies from Jimmy Barnes aka Barnesy. Other band members Don Walker on keys/piano, Steve Prestwich on drums (RIP in 2016), Phil Small on Guitar. All members are fire.... by the way Dave Blight was on harmonica.
I ADORE the wild thing video..... it's brilliant... chaotic but shows that Aussie audiences don't swarm an artist and fuck up the whole concert..... we appreciate talent.... we aren't sycophants for 'celebrities'..... our musicians, actors etc. are just people..... we don't kiss their arse or 'elevate' them...... ask Cate Blanchette.... 'Thor' etc....... except for the newer generations who unfortunately have been influenced by the USA........ they are just kind of pathetic.....
@@noone6559 If you watch it closer, Jimmy nearly gets into a punch up with one of the audience, and the bouncers calmed it down. That's how normal we hold our rock stars - 'you rip the button off my favourite shirt and I will clock you one for it', whether you are mid performance or not lol,
Cold Chisel, like every other Aussie band, artist etc..... started in the pub scene.... seriously... in Australia.... if you can't sing live in a pub.... you DON'T fucking make it......... we don't do the auto-tune BS or Divas..... we'll boo you off the stage.......so what you hear in a recorded song is pretty close to what you hear live...... xx Damn I'm so glad to be Australian........
Gargled bricks. Too funny but apt description Graham. My Dad hated Cold Chisel lol Had to listen to it blaring out of my room as a teenager. He isn't alive to ask anymore which he hated more. My Cold Chisel or my older brothers Slade. Can still hear him yelling, turn that crap down lol These days my neighbours get to love Foo Fighters. One side say I know when your in the gym lol
Ian Moss, the first vocalist, does a fantastic version of "Georgia on my mind' live. Second vocalist, the monster Jimmy Barnes does a fantastic song called Stone Cold' with Joe Bonamassa on lead guitar, in the recording studio together on one take. Then Jimmy Barnes again, live version of 'If Something is Wrong With My Baby' with John 'The Voice' Farnham. You can see how much the blues, soul, gospel etc influenced Australian Pub Rock. (First Rule of Pub Rock: You have to sound fantastic live.) Oh yeah, big Bruce Springsteen vibes in a lot of Cold Chisel songs.
One of the very few bands who have two lead singers . The smooth one at the start playing guitar is Ian Moss , the other singer is Jimmy Barns . When they all went their separate ways they both perused solo careers but Jimmy was probably the most well known and successful solo artist of the two . This is an earlier recording but there is an even better one recorded in 2003 when they reformed . I forget which one of them said , After 15 minutes we couldn't believe we broke up but after two hours of being together again we couldn't believe we ever stayed together for so long, or something along those lines. Now Jimmy's daughter is doing a lot of great work with Joe Bonamassa .
We were so privileged back then. Some of the best Pub Rock in the world, & we were able to keep most of it to ourselves. Mainly because of how far Australia is from everywhere else. The rest of the world didn't know what it was missing out on. So glad the whole world is now able to experience it now, with the 'wide world of web'.
The first bloke singing, Ian Moss, is just the lead guitarist but Cold Chisel are so good, they have two lead vocals and both Ian Moss and Jim Barnes are absolute gold. Awesome guitarist too. Oh, and it was the second singer you heard on Khe Sanh i.e. Jim Barnes. The harp player is David Blight, who is not an official member but played with them a lot.
Still fascinates me that we heard just about all USA music here but very few of our Aus musicians and singers made it in the USA. I’ve listened to USA music from mum’s 1940s, 78s. I remember listening to Bing Crosby and Judy Garland etc and all the old American black and white musicals on TV. Then my vinyl LPs 1960s and then CDs onwards from USA, UK and Aus of course, but USA and the world are just discovering what music we’ve had and loved a huge variety here, for many decades. My grandmother had a gramophone I’d listen to lol 🎶👍
I know a lot of people have said that 2003 Bow River is better. That's fine. Personally, I like the rawer older version as it reminds me of the concerts I saw in the day. For me, this is the version I like. Either way, this song deserves all the love it deserves....
Guys, if you want an edgy rock performance from Cold Chisel, take a look at their live cover of Wild Thing ... the band lives up to the title of the song. In my humble opinion, Chisel does the best version of this song ... ever.
Yep the 2003 version is great but I still love this montage taken from several different live performances which is cool. Both Jimmy and Ian have such totally different voices but they work together to well.
Jimmy Barnes was well known drinking a bottle or 2 of vodka live on stage. The first concert I even went to was a cold chisel concert and the last concert I went to a few years back was a cold chisel come back concert. The are my number one most favourite bands ever.
When Mossy sings "he don't wana see this town no more" it's because that's where the factory is, he's going to Bow river where it's just the river and him, and maybe a couple of freshies (Freash water crocodile).😉
I always thought Jimmy was the auto factory worker with Adelaide being a major car manufacturing place for Holden and Mitsubishi/Chrysler. but actually it was Mossy who did a lot of time in Sydney making cars for a living
You heard Jimmy Barnes on Khe Sanh, he went on to have very successful solo career a bit heavier on the rock and still does solo gigs today - his children also grew up to have their own musical careers. Ian Moss is the lead voaclist on this one.
It was a great era to live in Aus and be 18. Cold Chisel Divinyls Hunters and collectors etc.... Australian Pub music is just so good live... seeing Jimmy and Ian sing this in Perth with so much passion.
Chisel are absolutely world class in every sence of the words. Ian Moss vocals gutair and the mighty Jimmy Barnes on vocals. Eddie Van Halen once called Jimmy to see if he would be their vocalist. World Class!!
Ok, on the way to say Aussie, we also call the country the land of Oz, Oz, Ozzie, aus or aussieland, and neither sounds like an s. We save the s for the formal Australia, though it often sounds more like a z as well. We had fun in Germany, my sister asked for a postage stamp for australia. The lady was Ya, Ya, until we dragged out Aus-tra-lia, and she realised Austria wasn't what we had said. For Ian Moss on his guitar and singing the blues look up Georgia, it wasn't on the playlist, but he killed it anyway. He and Jimmy Barnes shared singing lead. Try Wild Thing for Jimmy's vocal squall. Or Jimmy with Joe Bonamassa, Stone Cold, (not stoned) meaning truly sincerely absolutely right etc.
2003 version is the one should have reacted to. The first guy is Ian Mosss singer other is Jimmy Barnes. Always do live of Cold Chisel, Jimmy Barnes and John . Farnham.
The guitarist is Ian Moss, also back up singer and sometimes lead singer. He could have been the lead singer himself but is a guitarist first, so they also have Jimmy Barnes as THE lead singer and part time back up singer. Now..... Jimmy does have a sweet voice for rock and pop, but prefers to crush granite in his throat. The experts all condemned him to a short career ending with no voice at all. 50 years later he is still performing to full houses at full volume and control and still using his throat to crush granite. lol I hope Dei has suggested Wild Thing from the Last Stand Tour , about 1983 I think. Pure feral rock at its best.
Ian moss is the guitar at the start and started singing he is Successful in his music career and jimmy barnes is the powerhouse voice cold chisel just an awesome voice. Have a listen to jimmy barnes and joe Bonamassa in dtone cold if you haven't heard it before. Good reaction guys they are aussie legends👍🙂🇭🇲🦘
This isnt the guy you’ve heard before. Lead singer on Khe Sahn is Jimmy Barnes, who was Chisel’s main front man. The singer here is Ian Moss, guitarist and usual backup singer. As is clear, he was equally as good as Jimmy, and Jimmy steps back for Bow River, which is truly a song for“Mossy”
This is the version of the song I grew up on in the 1980's. It is good. No question. The 2003 is so much better. The vodka is correct. Jimmy was an alcoholic and get wrecked on stage and drink vodka liberally. Jimmy sang Khe Sanh. So many good songs from Cold Chisel.
Pitty you didn't react to the 2003 Ringside version it is far far better than the one you did. The second singer on this one is Jimmy Barnes and he was lead singer in the one before. You have reacted to Jimmy Barnes before he did a cover of Deep Purple's Lazzy withe Joe Bonamassa.
I think they wrote that song after being in states and refused to do what promoter's wanted and came home a wrote about how they won't go back how shit they where treated and told our way or highway so they chose highway and became Aussie ledgens
For anyone that thinks music is just someone singing to pre-recorded elevator tunes, just play them this. This is all we knew, and we loved it. Unfortunately, poker machines took the place of bands in pubs and broke everything.
@@stevegraham3817 each to his own. It's music, not poetry recitation. The music, energy, instrument and voice tone in the Riverside concert appeals to me far more.
@@Quinctili It's not about the energy, it's about the way Mossy messes up the second line in the second verse, yes a small slip up in a 40 year career, but still, there is a reason Cold Chisel don't have it as their Official or Favourite version.

lol, When I saw Bow River, I just crossed my fingers in hope but as the clip started to roll, my heart sank lol. Missed opportunity, BIG TIME!
Listen to these dudes and listen to the 2003 version
Yep, what they said ☝️
Amen
I get sooooo bummed every time this version is chosen over Ringside. It’s like the moment’s gone 😩
Bow River LIVE, 2003 is the best recorded version in my opinion.
They are still quite young in this recording. By 2003 they were much older and more refined and really knew how to milk the song for everything they could.
The version where Mossy stuffs up the lyrics?
There is a reason it is not on the Official Cold Chisel channel.
I agree. Chisel at their musical best. Not that this is a bad version. As if Chisel was ever bad live!
Jimmy Barnes' voice: a mixture of battery acid and love.
Live live live is always best for Cold Chisel. This is a mash up from different concerts.
Lead singer on this song is Ian Moss aka Mossy (singer/guitarist) with harmonies from Jimmy Barnes aka Barnesy. Other band members Don Walker on keys/piano, Steve Prestwich on drums (RIP in 2016), Phil Small on Guitar. All members are fire.... by the way Dave Blight was on harmonica.

It was Jimmy Barnes singing lead on Khe Sanh, he can sing without the rasp when he wants to!
The guy with the voice that sounds like he gargles bricks, is Jimmy Barns. He and John Farnham are Australian legends.

That was usually Jimmy Barne's second bottle of vodka. So happy you found them. They are rather good

Adam, you need to hunt for Steve Prestwich's solo album (Since you've been gone). He's pretty damn good on the microphone as well. Damn good.

Anyone who doesn't rock out to this song is either deaf or dead. Aussie music at it's best.

You are my guiding light to brilliant Australian music bro, long live Dei!!!
Jim Barnes leads on Khe Sanh. Ian Moss is a great singer in his own right.

I play this in my Gen X/party rock band!!! People in Oz LOVE IT!!!
You should hear Mossy sing Georgia
It was a great era to live in Aus and be 18. Cold Chisel Divinyls Hunters and collectors etc.... Australian Pub music is just so good live... seeing Jimmy and Ian sing this in Perth with so much passion.
the 2nd singer in Jimmy Barnes. Look for Jimmy Barnes & Joe Bonamasa, Lazy
Next song Forever Now from the Circus Animal LP.
My favourite
@@666t The song was pure 80s, Emotional, Powerful and Atmospheric in other words took you to another time and space.

He was not in his home town, that's at bow river. He was at the factory town he worked so long in. That's why he's had enough of it.
Adelaide is so boring, ain’t nobody want to see that town, no more (Barnsey’s home town was Elizabeth, a suburban ghetto north of Adelaide) 🍺🦘
GUY AT START SINGING IS THE LEAD GARTARIEST
Love our jimmy monster 💯
On a different note,one of the best pub bands in the 80's was the "cockroaches"!
They retired from rock life,and became "The Wiggles"!!
Khe San is Jimmy all the way ..Listen to it again no way to mistake that rasp and power❤😂😂😂
Aussie pub rock, grew up on this.
This is the version of the song I grew up on in the 1980's. It is good. No question. The 2003 is so much better.
The vodka is correct. Jimmy was an alcoholic and get wrecked on stage and drink vodka liberally.
Jimmy sang Khe Sanh.
So many good songs from Cold Chisel.
