Cold Chisel revived

09oct03

AUSTRALIAN rockers Cold Chisel will reunite for a "ringside" show in Melbourne.

Chisel initially planned the shows, performed up close and in the round, to be a one-off Sydney event.
But yesterday, lead singer Jimmy Barnes said chemistry was good in the once-volatile group.

Chisel also considered it "unfinished business" if it did not tour the ringside shows nationally.

Cold Chisel will perform at Festival Hall on January 20. Tickets go on sale on October 22.

Cold Chisel still stands as one of Australia's most successful and hard living bands. Their hits include Khe Sanh, Forever Now and When the War Is Over.

From the Adelaide Advertiser

Old Chisel's back - and on cutting edge
By ALEXANDRA ECONOMOU
09oct03
ITS music was born out of the mean streets of Elizabeth in the 1970s – and now Cold Chisel is coming home.

The Greatest Hits Tour, to be announced today, comes five years after the rock band's last major tour.

Cold Chisel frontman Jimmy Barnes said from his Sydney home yesterday that Adelaide still held many special memories and he was looking forward to playing here again.

"It's an important place where the audience really feel that they are part of the band," said the rocker these days well-known simply as "Barnesy".

"They helped shape who we are today. We found out what worked (for audiences), what didn't and sharpened things up," he said.

This tour – beginning in Tamworth on November 29 and rolling into the Adelaide Entertainment Centre on December 19 – is an encore to the band's 1998 Last Wave of Summer tour.

That tour ended a 15-year separation between the band's original members of Barnes, Ian Moss, Don Walker, Phil Small and Steve Prestwich.

Once regular performers at the Largs Pier Hotel and various pub haunts around Elizabeth, "Chisel" is considered one of Australia's greatest rock bands.

Hits such as Khe Sanh, You Got Nothing I Want, and Forever Now remain some of the most requested songs on radio.

The band has sold three million albums and its members, particularly Barnes and Moss, have carved out successful solo careers.

This latest tour has grown from the success of a June series of Sydney shows, which drew about 20,000 fans.

"We actually really planned to tour again when we were doing the Last Wave of Summer shows in 1998," Barnes said.

He said the coming tour would feature a greatest hits package, with some new material added to the mix and all performed on a rotating stage.

"The 360-degree view makes it a very intimate show," Barnes said.

"With this format, you can really prowl around the stage and feed off their (the crowd's) energy," he said.

Despite his own solo success, Barnes is comfortable being back with old friends.

"It is great, because the chemistry is still there," he said.

"It (the group chemistry) is like a weight lifted off your shoulders, because if you start to lag you have a buffer zone, someone to pick up the slack."

Tickets for the Adelaide performance will be on sale through BASS from October 22.

For those of you who didnt go to Ringside in Sydney, let me just say that the shows were awesome!!! cant wait for Adelaide and I may head over interstate next year too!

They shows went for three hours each night, 30 + songs all up with an interval. Its not just old best of stuff there is some new songs in there - hopefully more this time.

Cold Chisel and the Beasts of Bourbon announce comebacks in the one week! I'm very happy!
