. " Years of struggle had turned Cold Chisel into one of Australian Rock's all-time great bands probably the greatest ... But the years had also taken their toll since they formed in 1973 and in August 1983 the band put out a press release saying it was disbanding and would tour all major Australian Capital Cities to say farewell to their many fans ... In December they played their final concerts to sold-out audiences at capacity of 13,000 at the Sydney Entertainment Centre for 5 days straight and fans were camped out for days just to grab their tickets ... Chisel played over 30 songs each night with a different set list and Jimmy and the boys come out every night with all guns blazing and proudly parading their knockabout, working-class colors to the end ... In effect, this really was Cold Chisel's Last Stand and here are Impassioned renditions of Chisel's best numbers and they delivered to rabid audiences and showed that the guys could still get their mojo working in overdrive and that to the end ... Cold Chisel were a great live act and left everyone in Awe ... I myself being an avid Cold Chisel Fan was lucky to catch all 5 Sydney shows ... Simply Awesome ... Rock History I'll never forget " .

They weren't really underrated at all. They could of broken into the US charts, but they were too Aussie. They still sell out tours and play pretty awesome shows. Ringside at Sydney was a real highlight. I hope they keep touring, they're a great live band.Mossy would be the best Australian guitarist. Hands down.

Saw them on this tour at The Dunedin Town Hall (New Zealand south island) on September 23rd 1983. I had just turned 20 and was bullet proof just like Barnsey. Gig went off big time. Barnsey climbed the loud speaker and screamed out a song, demolished the bottle of voddy, oh yeah what a gig and what a band. 'Bow River' is my all time favourite song from CH thanks so much Mossy you da man mate :-)
