Oh Mossy what an awesome performance of my favorite song of yours. Was 26 in '89 - just returned from my O.E. in London from here in New Zealand. Was privileged to see Cold Chisel at The Dunedin Town Hall here in New Zealand on Saturday 24th September 1983 - was 5 weeks away from turning 20. Will admit I was in love with Chisel. An awesome gig considering the band was imploding and on the brink of breaking up which at the time I didn't know. Barnsey was on fire swigging on the bottle of vodka and climbing on a speaker. Chisel delivered the goods that evening so thank you. Saw Chisel for the 2nd time at the 2015 Gold Coast 600 V8 Supercars event - down at Broadwater Parklands [Saturday October 24th] Now as I am a complete left leg amputee as a result of my near-death motorcycle accident here in NZ in 1990 when I was 26, I use elbow crutches to ambulate. Ok so my wife and I parked up on the grass just to the right of the audio engineers. As soon as Chisel began to play, I stood up on my one good right leg and elbow crutches. Well...after a setlist of 20 songs, 3 encore songs, and a further 5 second encore songs [that's a total of 28 songs] I was STILL STANDING on my one good right leg and elbow crutches. I never sat down for your entire gig. I actually loved your gig even more than when I saw Chisel for the first time in '83 here in NZ. You had aged like fine wine. Your sound was even better than in '83! You delivered the goods that evening at Broadwater Parklands BIG TIME. Thank you so much again. I wonder why Bow River is my favorite Chisel song...
hey i dont want to pry at personal details, but i took up riding a few years ago with a few friends. I lost a friend in a bike accident in my early 20s. im mid 30s now and i dont ride like a maniac at all, but im still battling with the danger aspect. Ive had a small stack due to my own mistake but i walked away with just some bruising. I wear all the gear, but its stories like yours that scare me the most. Someone pulling out or T-boning me, can be utterly life changing as you know too well. What do you say? should i persevere with this hobby? or give it away while im still intact?
@@slickstrings Thank you for your comment it is greatly appreciated. No you are not prying at my personal details at all. I am so sorry you lost your friend to a motorcycle accident when you were in your early 20s. May he be at rest. To me riding a motorcycle is the ultimate form of freedom for a human being. When on the road, a motorcyclist needs to ride as defensively as possible these days as fellow road users aren't always aware as they need to be of motorcyclists. Therefore a motorcyclist essentially needs to read every single move every other motorist on the road makes - before they make it...therefore a motorcyclist needs optimum levels of concentration PLUS ultimate reflexes should a fellow road user impair a motorcyclists 'line' and space they travel on the road. It is this ability of a motorcyclist to read what every other fellow motorist on the road is not only doing - even more so - what they might do/predict what they might or will do - Compos Mentis bro?! These are possibly above the basic skills a motorcyclist requires on the road, nevertheless in my opinion they are absolutely necessary and essential especially if a motorcyclist tends to ride aggressively on the road. However please be warned...a motorcyclist who rides aggressively on the open for whatever purpose/s that may be...is challenging themselves to the extreme. Sometimes they lose the challenge and the associated sometimes unforeseen consequences are tragic. Exactly in my instance. If a motorcyclist like me has the need for speed and power - that's perfectly acceptable...however...take it to a controlled environment such as a race track. But that isn't the same as the thrill of racing on the road, yep I know all about that...however a motorcyclist who races on public open roads is essentially doing what? Being totally selfish in that they are putting fellow road users AT RISK. Especially if their bike takes out say an innocent pedestrian walking across the road...get my drift? Driving or riding a motorcycle in a public environment means every motorist is SHARING that environment TOGETHER...is is a TEAM game. And everybody knows any team is only as strong as its weakest link..and when it comes to the open roads it is often motorcyclists who are that weakest link as there ain't no metal cage protecting a motorcyclist on the open road like there is with a 50 tonne truck. Do the math...what say a motorcycle plus rider = say a 2015 Yamaha R1 [200kg] + 90kg rider = 290kg total v 50 tonne truck & trailer = 50,000kg...there can be only one winner if they collide at 100km/hr. Life is all about probability & possibility for me. What is the probability and possibility of a motorcyclist crashing on the open road traveling at a speed of 100kmhr? I don't know the answer to that as it depends on the variability of all the associated factors. However rather focusing on the statistics of motorcycle crashes on the open road, if a motorcyclist obeys all the road rules while riding their motorcycle on the open road the chances of crashing are CONSIDERABLY LESS than if they are riding aggressively. For me there is no greater freedom of expression than riding a motorcycle. I consider myself BORN ON 2 WHEELS. There is nothing wrong with having an addiction to motorcycles and motorcycle riding. I have always held the motorcyclists mantra/creed 'RIDE TO LIVE, LIVE TO RIDE' in the highest regard. I also have my own mantra that goes like this. 'If you sling your legs over a motorcycle or even a bicycle seat, you need to be prepared to fall off it'. That possible fall might be small and it also might be great. However we need to be prepared. And in my instance do you know what essentially saved my life when I had my fall from grace? A high level of physical and mental fitness as I was an athlete at the time [road cyclist, triathlete, marathon runner]. Doctors and surgeons who saved my life believed my high fitness level greatly contributed to my survival. To answer your question slickstrings: Since my accident I also love another favorite quote: "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are" - Squire Bill Widener of Widener’s Valley, Virginia, U.S.A. Best wishes to you bro.
hot in the city - my favourite Australian guitarist (not counting AD/DC's Angus Young I saw around 1975 in Melbourne's Hard Rock Cafe basement) - Ian's guitar solos tear my heart out with a pitchfork !
Playing a strat, with weird chords, and heaps of lead fills is the hardest guitar style for me. The wind cry's Mary, little wing, life in the fast lane by the egals , and tuckers daughter. All hard...
On the Stage is a ton of talent, even a few Kiwis, Mark Williams on Backing vocals, a great singer
Bloody oath !
Cheers for the reference to Mark Williams, didn't know that. He is a superb K1W1 singer/musician no doubt 'bout that.
True that.......also provided the vocals to the Home & Away theme.... 🙏

I was 6 in 1989- I loved Ian Moss's music though when I was older.
Mossy is da man
its obvious the people running the music industry in the 80s were based... bring it back, save us
Great tune I can only imagine the rehydration session went well sweating like its 100 degrees..
hot in the city - my favourite Australian guitarist (not counting AD/DC's Angus Young I saw around 1975 in Melbourne's Hard Rock Cafe basement) - Ian's guitar solos tear my heart out with a pitchfork !
Perfection.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎸💖
Just came across this . Love it!
onee of aussie legend that i am an indonesian still watching until now
3:18 That kick to the bass players head, 🤣🤣 nice all without dropping a note. True professional Ian!
Amazing
That was epic!
Playing a strat, with weird chords, and heaps of lead fills is the hardest guitar style for me. The wind cry's Mary, little wing, life in the fast lane by the egals , and tuckers daughter. All hard...
Anyone know the band line up? Guitar tone is just 👌🏼👌🏼
Quality
