Great Australian Concerts: Cold Chisel on SBS and SBS on Demand – To mark the start of iconic Australian band Cold Chisel’s 50th anniversary tour SBS are pleased to present one of their most famous concerts ever!
After 10 years, Cold Chisel are calling it quits. They embark on a farewell tour called The Last Stand, culminating in a final show at the Sydney Entertainment Centre just before Christmas, 1983. As front man Jimmy Barnes explains, “I think it might have been me, I said, ‘I’m leaving the band”. Jimmy was determined to pursue a new path, with a new band.
Guitarist Ian Moss still remembers his shock and disappointment at the announcement. But if this was to be their last show, Mossy was determined to go out with a flourish.
Thousands of the band’s die-hard fans gather to watch a remarkable bunch of musicians playing many of their greatest hits. It’s a bitter-sweet evening, and certainly an extraordinary show.
As Jimmy observes, “I didn’t want it to end, it was like, man, how am I gonna top this? How am I gonna get better than this?”
