1980’s pub rock in Australia was awesome. You say you played in front of 30,000 people? I grew up in a small city called Tamworth (population about 20,000 in the 80’s). It was the “Country Music Capital”. Despite that, all these Aussie bands would show up and play during the year. Cold Chisel, John Farnham, The Angels plus many many more Aussie legendary bands. All of them. God we were spoilt. Most venues were lucky to handle 1,000 people. But all these bands still showed up on a regular basis. True pub rock. Loved it.
Kasey Chambers played at the Tamworth Country Music Festival from when she was a little kid. Must have seen her perform at least 100 times. Always Country Music. The rap cover was a shock. A pleasant one. I never liked rap, but now I appreciate the lyrics at least😊
“The Wiggles” also regularly played in Tamworth. Except in the 1980’s they were known as “The Cockroaches” (an R&B Band). The yellow (maybe Red) Wiggles sister plays @ our lawn bowls club. All these Aussie bands know each other, and you can see how they would have influenced each other in one way or another despite the different genres of music. “Roadies”, song writers and musicians would often swap staff. Australia has a very small population, and accordingly, they all rely on each other for skilled staff.
Today’s teens don’t know what they’re missing. Mine was the local club. John Farnham, Jimmy, Diesel, Dragon, The Oils, Moving Pictures, The Radiators. Saw The Angels more times than I can count.
@@jeffwilson7100 Yep, all those Jeff. Mossy was here only a couple of months back at a local pub. Luckily, it’s only about 1.5 km away. Sat on the back verandah at home with a few stubbies. It was clear as a bell. I might as well have been sitting in the front row.
Yes agree, we followed the Melbourne music scene from pub to pub every weekend - seeing Cold Chisel, John Farnham and so many more live in small pub settings, very special times.
Damn … finishing with Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs. I remember back in the 1960’s, my dad crying when Billy Thorpe, in his smart Beatles like suit sang “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and saying that Billy sounding like an angel … I only had to say Billy might be performing at a club my friends and I wanted to go to and my dad would put some cash in my hand and tell me to have a good time.
Well it's three hours later... my mind has been fried by several beers, and your mind has just been fried by Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs. Apologies in advance for what's gonna be a long post. During Farnham's Long Way To The Top you talk about "huge energy". I've always thought of his shows with the orchestra as "the irresistible force meets the immovable object". In front of him he has the energy of thousands of people. Behind him he has the energy of dozens (scores?) of musicians. That sort of pressure coming together makes diamonds. At the start of Billy Thorpe's Mamma you ask "Where did he get this sound?" Mike, we're stuck at the arse-end of the world. In the '60s/'70s we were totally isolated from everything and everyone, so we made our *own* sounds. Honestly, we were doing punk a decade before the Pistols. Fun fact: At one stage Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs were billed as "The Loudest Band In The World". Thanks for a great arvo, Mike. Hope you have a good night.
Bugger! Missed the livestream again. Just catching up with it now (Saturday arvo with a few beers.)....... A quick heads-up, mate - in case you ever come down here for a holiday with a tourist visa, when you get to the immigration desk if you can quote the complete lyrics to any Cold Chisel song, they give you permanent residency.
If you start handing out slabs of beer and jars of Vegemite, you get to be Deputy Prime Minister. Throw in a carton of smokes, and the “top job” is yours, mate.
Fun fact regarding the Bagpipes in 'You're the Voice'. The song was originally composed in a higher key. But apparently bagpipes can only play in one key, so they had to re-arrange the song to match the key of the bagpipes, and they liked it better in that key anyway.
Yeah, Adam, pipes only play in B-flat. AC/DC recorded Long Way To The Top in B-flat to accommodate the pipes, but they always performed it live in A (I think?).
The inspiration behind “When the War Is Over” is rooted in the band’s observations of the impact of war on relationships. Cold Chisel recognized that war exerts immense emotional strain on not only soldiers but also their partners, families, and friends. This understanding of the collateral damage war inflicts on personal lives and the longing for peace motivated the band to pen this heartfelt ballad.
John F was often fund raising for local and overseas needs. John singing cold chisel - I think was an outside performance for farmers affected by drought? Someone will correct me I’m sure
* 'Angels'. Auto-tune OUT! We need to hear ' imperfect perfection', and 'harmony through conflict'. Lisa Edwards is one of John's longstanding back-up singers and an artist in her own right. She was nervous, being upfront, so John was fooling around to ease her tension. Also, John is a very funny man! And 'less is more' *'Long Way To The Top' - the band is 'as tight as' all because of John who has high standards and respects his musicians sooo much. This is a cover of AC/DCs song and is much better. I love the call and response with the orchestra. I've read that the orchestra had never had so much fun as working with John and the band. ( You missed John kissing a female fan in the audience in the earlier part of the song.) Remember - John can sing anything! *Billy Thorpe also does ballads beautifully as in 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' and 'I Told The Brook'. Also a' hippiefied', 'Children Of The Sun". * We are mostly a newer nation of immigrants in an ancient country. There is something in the Australian psyche that brings out the creativity and talent of people.
Saw Matt for the 10th time in Oslo a couple weeks ago. Freaking wizard musically. Keeps getting better every year. Probably the best performance I've ever seen in my life
Thanks for these great reactions to all these songs. Agree with you about John's interpretation of When The War is Over. He's definitely a master storyteller... as if his epic vocals weren't enough. Also loved how much you enjoyed the performance of You're the Voice (and your succesful pronunciation of Melbourne 😄). Whenever I watch this performance, I can't help but have both a lump in my throat and a smile on my face the whole way through.
John Farnham in his younger years (I think 23 when he sung this song) Bridge Over Troubled Waters a Simon & Garfunkel cover song. It was done live in the studio on the Don Lane Show, early 70s I believe. 😍
You haven’t lived if you haven’t experienced Cold Chisel Wild Thing Live. Last Stand Tour Ian Moss and his guitar is beautiful and the tone brilliant. Well worth a listen just for that. Yo
"One" is a song by American singer-songwriter Harry Nilsson from his 1968 album. In 1969, In Australia John Farnham released his version while in America "Three Dog Night" also released it as the second single from their first album. If you like Brett Garsed on guitar, he features in the '94 version of Angels, but my favorite is the Concert for Rwanda .. Lisa with her long hair, looking absolutely gorgeous & Tommy Emmanuel on electric guitar... ruclips.net/video/egjRlSAtV-w/видео.html
Yo Michael: 1:06 John’s Throw, Catch n Release microphone trick. I don’t know if anyone has said this before but John is quite well known for his microphone tricks and so far he hasn’t impaled, stabbed or bludgeoned anyone 😂🤣 I honestly don’t know how! He’s brilliant with a microphone and stand!
If you want to really be blown away check out John Farnham’s solo version of When the War is over, Live. From Whispering Jack (in his late 30s) or from The Last Time 2003 (when he was 54). Both brilliant.
People always say that Jimmy just popped in on that performance and he wasn’t warmed up- but that isn’t the case. Jimmy actually sang about 30 songs at that same concert that day. I think John did about 3. So Jimmy was more likely just exhausted. Ps you should’ve done my version of You’re the Voice, HD and remastered. So much better!!
@@michaelgoyettemusic 😂 I know you didn’t haha it’s totally OK mate. I was just throwing it out there as that song cleaned up soo well and it’s just a better experience all round. Have a look sometime- it’s on my channel- cheers Michael catch you next live stream I hope X
@@michaelgoyettemusic good! I can understand if you don’t want to share your email but if you do have an email address you’re willing to share, I’d like to send you a few full length official concert DVDs of John and also Jimmy I’ve uploaded to my cloud.
Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs formed in 1963 ....... the Doors formed in 1965 ....... The Rolling Stones formed in 1962. So much great music exploding around the world at the same time.
So if it wasn’t British Invasion they must’ve had access to the same Black American performers the Beatles and Stones were influenced by. Another question….did their sound change over the course of the 60s?
@@michaelgoyettemusicyo Michael. Billy changed a lot man. 4+ decades to dive into. Teen idol to balls out stompin rock. Great author too btw. Ps. First ever RUclips comment. Love your channel mate.
@@michaelgoyettemusic Mike Brady came to Melbourne from the UK in the very early 60s and on his radio show, I remember him saying that the radio stations in Melbourne at that time played more black American artists than he heard on BBC. Mike played in a succesful 60s band called MPD Ltd. He also had the biggest selling record in Australian history at one time in the late 70s, called, "Up There Cazaly"
I love how Matt Corby uses vocal expression, not lyrics, to convey meaning...it's how someone who didn't have language might express their anguish. Beautiful.
@@michaelgoyettemusic and he uses silence...love when artists understand sound needs to breathe. Maybe not an obvious example but the Police were good at that too even though they were, generally, rock.
Casey n Jimmy are in my home town for the weekend. Gotta love country music festivals. (Savannah in the Rounds). Hopefully see some videos coming out from their performances.
Glad I was able to join the live for a while this arvo. I'm just now getting around to watching everything I missed. Just up to the performance of ONE and just had to mention that while John did not write the song (it was penned by Harry Nilson) he did originally record it as a 19 year old in 1968. However Three Dog Night also got hold of the song around the same time and pipped John to the post to release it in April 1969. John postponed the release of his till July 1969. Both versions were in the Aussie charts through 1969. But John's version was mostly big in Aus where it peaked at number 4 ... 3 Dog Night, were already well known globally, so probably would have been the version you have heard. It did well in the US and Canada Check out John's 1969 version sometime. Not as powerful as his later versions ...i think his later versions blows any other version out of the park including 3 Dog Night 😂😂 Oh and you missed him swinging aound the corded mic. Here's the 1969 recording m.ruclips.net/video/e06hBcBp8T8/видео.html
Haha yes I stopped the video at the end of the song to comment .....then kept watching and saw that someone told you to go back and watch it. You also missed the mic stand toss during You’re the Voice as well. Just before he tossed it across the stage, he also tossed it above his head and caught it. Now I'll have to go see if I missed you catching up on that one too haha
Yes you can do links in chat ruclips.net/video/7sSDrDQ0VEU/видео.html - you just have to hope RUclips doesn't remove them before you get a chance to open them 😂 Always loved Billy Thorpe & the Aztecs they had some great songs. He passed in 2007 from a heart attack. Thanks for discovering our talent down under 😎
The original version of When The War Is Over isn’t acoustic, and therefore the guitar solo is quite different. This was from their Ringside concert which was one of Cold Chisels various reunions. Farnham’s version rearranges it and wrecks the way the song builds up over time.
Missed the live show but very happy to watch it later. Also very happy that you included some of the Farnham duets I suggested you seek out - not that I was the only one to suggest them. As others have said, John's live versions are so much better than his studio ones. And no matter how good the Aussie bands were in stadiums I always preferred them in the smaller venues, the pubs and clubs. The energy and effort was always there but so much more when you are one of only 200-250 people. Not to be pushy but if you are interested I'd (again) suggest you watch the John Farnham and Ray Charles duets from Crown Casino 1997,. If not everything then at least their "Imagine" - ruclips.net/video/cZVpl7LJ0zA/видео.html A late thought prompted by the auto-tune discussion: John ad libbed a lot in his shows and while it's a genuine part of his act I've sometimes wondered if he did it to "prove" he wasn't lip-synching.
@@michaelgoyettemusiche is also notorious for singing the wrong lyrics, he doesn't care, so nobody else does. His band is used to it, and just pick him up. They apparently use secret eye and hand signals, so they are all on the same page. He watches Lyndsey, as he mouthes the words.
sorry...being silly ..he is brett garsed ..very accomplished player, worth investigating as you recognize his skill too ...i remember footage from 87-88 farnham shows where he gets a bit more time to blaze...but not much more- Its obvious john is the star of the show- you don't need much more than him really when you are that good eh? @@michaelgoyettemusic

Thank you Jennie ❤️
Billy was crazy good. You must’ve had a great time!
Somehow I get what you’re saying about Matt C. 🙏 ✌️
This version of When the War is Over always has me smiling; John and Jimmy are having so much fun and respect for each other.
John Farnham packed this Melbourne venue 98 times! And that’s just one city in Australia!
The guitarist is Brett Garsed, he played in John's band for many years. Previously he was a member of the band Nelson & also toured with Paul Stanley.
Nelson! I forgot about those guys….

Also very happy that you included some of the Farnham duets I suggested you seek out - not that I was the only one to suggest them.
As others have said, John's live versions are so much better than his studio ones.
And no matter how good the Aussie bands were in stadiums I always preferred them in the smaller venues, the pubs and clubs. The energy and effort was always there but so much more when you are one of only 200-250 people.
Not to be pushy but if you are interested I'd (again) suggest you watch the John Farnham and Ray Charles duets from Crown Casino 1997,. If not everything then at least their "Imagine" - ruclips.net/video/cZVpl7LJ0zA/видео.html
A late thought prompted by the auto-tune discussion: John ad libbed a lot in his shows and while it's a genuine part of his act I've sometimes wondered if he did it to "prove" he wasn't lip-synching.
I think John is too authentic to do adlibs as anything other than his honest musical expression at that moment…..it also proves he’s singing live ❤️
@@michaelgoyettemusiche is also notorious for singing the wrong lyrics, he doesn't care, so nobody else does. His band is used to it, and just pick him up. They apparently use secret eye and hand signals, so they are all on the same page. He watches Lyndsey, as he mouthes the words.
Oy, Oy, Oy, Sorry I was late to the party!
No worries….next time! ✌️
in You're the Voice - yes, better than the recording - John singing LIVE is always better than the recording IMO
Brett garfish is the guitar player....and part time gar fisherman
I don’t know if that’s a joke or not. 😂
if it is .....its not very funny ....its ok , i'll see myself out ! lol
@@michaelgoyettemusic
ok....how about : :he is a "gartar player " ? that work for ya ? @@michaelgoyettemusic
@@TheMichaelseymour are you using Aussie vernacular or fishing jargon? 😂
sorry...being silly ..he is brett garsed ..very accomplished player, worth investigating as you recognize his skill too ...i remember footage from 87-88 farnham shows where he gets a bit more time to blaze...but not much more-
Its obvious john is the star of the show- you don't need much more than him really when you are that good eh? @@michaelgoyettemusic
You did Kasey’s performance four months ago.
