Cold Chisel

5 Comments

Whow!  It is now Saturday morning and what a great concert is was. Both Mal and I saw Cold Chisel for the first time exactly 30 years ago at the  Bangalow Bowling Club (we did not know each other then), and again 5 years later, and we both agree they are only getting better. Huge!!!

Mal does insist Jimmy sounds like a baby magpie calling it’s mother. Screeching and demanding continuously. But in saying that, Jimmy and the band gave an incredible 2.5 hours of non stop music to the approximate 22,000 audience. Ian Moss is amazing on his many changing guitars.

I am sitting in our caravan writing this post while listening to Cold Chisel on the stereo.

So pleased we went!!!

Right at the front at the beginning!!
Sorry Michael and Kathy. I just could not get my new blackberry phone you kindly gave me, taking good photos. Definitely the user. Will learn how to zoom in and out more professionally soon.

Jimmy at his best

We moved back slightly when the huge throb of the music was going straight through our hearts. Forget the ears. We were right in front of the speakers. No one in between.

    1. Hi Phil,
      open all the posts and you will see the surfboards. Inside the car is Mal’s guitar too.
      If you open the Yuraygir National Park post I think there is a picture of the car and caravan in there.

  4. Hi Mal and Ros
    Was at that Bangalow gig myself,seemed liked a thousand people inside and a thousand more tearing up the green outside. I swear I saw punters trying to climb through the small windows above the main window pane, and the music… and the music…awesome. Also saw The Cure (YES the real pommie cure, INXS,Richard Clapton and The Reels. Midnight Oil could’t play their gig as the available power wasn’t enough (only single phase available, no three phase) so we got in the car the next morn and Drove down to the plantation hotel in Coffs to see them. When I try to tell people of the callibrem both national and international that used to grace our far nth coast venues they just don’t believe me. Italo club in Lismore – Toots and the Maytals,The Psychadelic Furs, Sandy and the Sunsets, oh I could go on forever, but thanks so much for your post, warmed up my chilly night in Mullum. Cheers Tony C
