We are nearly at the anniversary of losing this brilliant musician. 16th January 2011 RIP Steve. We will keep speaking of you and keep the legacy of your music alive 🎤🕊🕊🕊
Great stuff Greg. Steve stayed well in the background in the first incarnation of Chisel despite writing some hits but the boys had a different attitude towards each other after they reformed. I don't know who was responsible but i like to think the break made the band members realise what they had lost. When they reformed, you could see that the love of the band was what mattered, rather than the wishes of the individual members...Jimmy too had scratched his solo itch and came back a much more generous musician. Steve and Jim used to regularly have punch ups when in their 20s. In your own time Greg, watch the video, Seeing is believing...a great watch for any Chisel fan. If you want to really get wild, you could react to it over several reactions, as it has interviews interspersed with songs...just a thought.
This is the ONLY Steve Prestwich solo vocal to ever appear on a Cold Chisel Studio Album…. A beautiful tribute to a great drummer and a fantastic songwriter…. When the war is over, Forever Now, Water into Wine, Someone Caught My Eye, Best Kept Lies….. Steve Recorded two solo albums before he passed away…… Since You’ve Been Gone…… and Every Highway…..their is a song by Steve that I love called Get Onboard ( featuring Ian Moss)…. But I don’t know if it’s been uploaded anywhere….. another song is Trouble Free…. Which you can find ( audio only)…..try Steve Prestwich live at the basement….. and for something different From Cold Chisel….. Monica.
This is the last track on their album No Plans. Last track on the last album Steve was still alive, so always seems both fitting and sad this is last song on that album when I listen to it. They made two more albums in the 2000's after this, but this is the album I have listened to most in the last decade. There is a Steve Prestwich song called Way Down on the previous album and there is actually three versions I found on youtube that people have uploaded. One with Steve singing, one with Jimmy singing and the actual album version with Ian is the main vocalist on the track with Jimmy and Steve backing vocals. Really nice song on The Last Wave of Summer album from the late 90's. It was interesting to listen to all three versions one day and notice they made the right choice of whose voice better suited that style of that song. Just worked best with Ian as the lead for the song, for some reason. I'm thankful I saw a couple of concerts of Cold Chisel in early 2000's when Steve was alive. Was bitter sweet when went to their Light the Nitro Tour just early last decade passed. But they really did pay tribute to Steve so much in that tour. That was the name of that tour after they released the No Plans album. This might be the fourth track you have heard from this album. Everybody, All for You and HQ 454 Monroe I think I heard you play before but I could be wrong.
If this bloke was the lead singer of Chisel, i would still have been a fan. Sorry Jimmy....you are still my favourite all time vocalist but hot damn, what a fucking band!!!!! Sorry for swearing, i shouldn't have said "damn".
