Imagine growing up in Sydney, Australia in the mid to late 70's when bands like Ac/DC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Skyhooks, Rose Tattoo, Sherbet, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, Richard Clapton, and many many more were playing the pubs and clubs. And I loved every second of it

The harmonica player isn't running the sound through anything to get that sound, that's him making all of it. It's how you breath, pushing and suck the air through the harmonica you get the sounds.

He is definitely running it through a little distortion. James Moloney of The Detonators uses an over driven 100watt Fender guitar amp to get that effect, which is micd up to the PA.

Bow river in this song is a place in Australia's Kimberly region it is a tributary of the Ord river system that runs in to Lake Argyle. The singer Ian Moss is from the Northern Territory and he is singing about leaving his work at a car factory and running up north to the place he wants to be.

Ian explained he wrote the song originally using Todd River as the river and picked Bow River off a map as it sounded much better. He was back in his home town of Alice Springs and was telling his parents about it when he did so. Heard it from his lips at a gig in the Pilbara recently, which I may add was incredible.

Same with growing up in Melbourne, a teenager in the 70’s who got to see AC/DC live with the brilliant Bon Scott at least 6 or 7 times in one year 74/75. Weekends were all about getting the Gig Guide (printed of course, no internet) to see which band was playing at which pub. Every weekend was a joy to be alive and we were spoilt for choice. For me, the best time musically to be alive and in Australia. Wish I could go back and do it all again ❤❤. Lots of people rave about the Sunset Strip in LA and that’s fine, but personally I think we had it even better here! So lucky!!
In my opinion one of the most underrated bands on planet earth!

The harmonica player has played with the band for over 40years and is only a guest player( does tours/live shows and the occasional track on albums) he's a master at his craft, call and respond that he and Mossy(guitarist) can put into a live show is awesome(usually the intro to Bow River)

My first conversion to Aussie music in the 80's my initiation in to Aus Rock. Still lovin it.
There was an entire multi-decade period in which Australian audiences were more deeply enamoured with home-made Australian rock than they were with American/Brit rock. Aussie pubs were the heart and soul of the local music industry, and the best of them were packed with 'punters' every single week. There are so many bands and solo performers in the glory days of this period and I would bet you would know a lot of them: Cold Chisel, Little River Band, ACDC, The Angels, Radiators, Divinyls, and dozens of others. Being a teenagers during this period was several shades of awesome.
Now you know what good old Aussie rock is.
Bow River is probably Cold Chisel's greatest song. The magic is in the build of tension. It starts with Mossy's beautiful, clean voice. "Listen out to the wind, babe" As the momentum grows, we start to hear Barnsey, adding harmonies here and there. When the whole fire is blazing, Barnesy cuts loose, "One week two weeks, maybe even more, pissed all my money up against the damn wall". Spine chilling. He deserves a place at the table of rock's greatest vocalists.
Cold Chisel (and Barnsey) are from my hometown of Adelaide, South Australia. Thats my mate Dave Blight playing harmonica, plays the best harp solo in Oz Rock. No FX apartr from a little drive/distortion. The tremelo etc is played by him with his mouth.. Also a wonderful guy who regularly jams around Adelaide. And yeah these guys rocked with AC/DC MANY times..

They split up years before this and this was on their reunion tour years later. Middle aged, killing it. They were having fun on this tour.
You can see how spoilt we Australians have been for great music over the years!! Have seen Cold Chisel twice, brilliant!!
I think we tended to take it for granted back in the day. Who will we go and see this Saturday night? Cold Chisel, Midnight Oil, Rose Tattoo, Sports, Men At Work, INXS, The Angels, Hunters and Collectors, Divinyls...and the list goes on. A lot of the great pubs and live venues we had here in Melbourne back then don't even exist anymore.

Cold Chisel had some success with the album East in the USA (Top 50 I think) but producers then wanted them to alter their style to suit American taste. They of course told them to get stuffed and then made their most Australian album ever - Circus Animals. The song You got Nothing I want is about the American music industry. And Bow River is on that album.
Some good old Aussie talent formed in the 1970’s and still going (with some brief interludes) ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
They guy's name is David Blight, I used to work with his sister in law. David was very much part of the furniture with Cold Chisel and I've taken for granted just how good he is. Your reaction has made me pay more attention to Dave's talent, thank you. Of course the talents of Barnsey, Mossy, Don etc are also well appreciated. R.I.P. Steve Prestwich - never forgotten! (Check out 'When the War is over')

I couldn’t be more proud to be an Aussie than I am at this moment. Bow River by Cold Chisel is the best ever live band song played.

Never forget them at the Bondi lifesaver in the 80's with Barnsey running the full-length of the bar kicking beers out of the way with a bottle of vodka in hand. On their night they were unbelievable and unbeatable.
Aussie music in the 60 and 70s was done the hard way. Playing pubs, counry halls, clubs... gritty sweaty dirty... up close and very personal. Every dollar was hard earned and drunk even harder. Chisel was was one of many in bands from blues to country, jazz to heavy metal and all in-between. The big money from Europe and the States gave them the promotion and the nsme, but Aussie music from that era is the best because it came from the sheds, pubs and was accessible to everyone. Just look at chisel contemporaries like the oils, sunnyboys, Aussie crawl, Billy thorpe

Can't go wrong with Chisel!
This is Mossy's finest work. I've seen this song worked so many ways live. The Chisel boys going flat out, Mossy doing a slow solo acoustic or Mossy and his touring band playing it. I saw the boys here in Canberra right at the end of the bushfires a couple of years back. Hot night in the Capital but the old farts rocked hard. Apart from the sad passing of Steve Prestwich, they have remained the same line up. Don Walker is the highest ranking musician within the band, he got it started, penned so many songs and melodies, legend.

Seriously… we’ve had some freaking awesome bands in Australia. This has always been my favourite Cold Chisel song.
Cold Chisel and ACDC are The classic Aussie pub rock band and they're still massive in Australia, Chisel rocked hard, Played Hard and Indulged Hard Jimmy Barnes (the guy in the black T-Shirt singing) famously admitted he used to do 10 grams of Cocaine, six to eight ecstasy and three bottle of Vodka a day, they fortunately cleaned up their act. These guy play working man rock their songs were about the working man like Bow River a song about working all week and heading out on the weekend. They also produced one of the three great Aussie songs about war Khe Sanh a song about a man coming back from Vietnam a hard rock classic. pick just about any of their music and you will get a mind blowing mix of rock and blue. You need to check out more of their stuff
This is one band that actually has 2 lead singers in it. Depending which song they sing. 🎤
The lead guitarist and lead singer in this song is Ian Moss and the other singer is Jimmy Barnes. There are so many great song's from Cold Chisel for you to drool over and then you have a huge catalog from Jimmy Barnes's solo career which started in the 80,s and is still going today. Jimmy recently released two song's just after his 66th birthday Soothe Me with Sam Moore and Do you love me with Josh Teskey. He also just toured Australia and New Zealand performing his 30th anniversary of his Soul Deap album which is his highest selling album.
WooHoo !!! Glad you guys enjoyed one of Australia's legendary pub rock bands, Cold Chisel !!!!!! They have many many more tracks you would love 😁 As you will see from the comments all great suggestions will come your way, Thank you again for the awesome reaction guy's 👏👏👏
The very best band ever and from the hints that are being dropped, there'll be a tour announcement made VERY soon. I used the "the money I save won't buy my youth again" line in my retirement letter 4 years ago and I got to see Chisel at Glenelg a week or so later and then again at Tauranga on the day after my 65th birthday in Feb 2020. I've met Jimmy heaps of times in recent years and have met and had a chat with Mossy a few time in the last couple of years. I told him that I'd used a line from Bow River in my retirement letter. He thought that was pretty cool.
Watch the same guys do "when the war is over" live....... Ian sings most the song, silky smooth and heartfelt, Jimmy comes in and sounds like a gravel truck is sneaking into the song, a heartfelt gravel truck.... the whole thing is a work of art that is Cold Chisel.
You mention AC/DC, well those two bands hit the Australian rock scene in the same year, they both went on to mega sucess though AC/DC went global while Chisel toured America and didn't like being away from home so they came back. They are both huge in Australia, but they drifted into solo careers. Jimmy Barnes the second singer in this clip went on to have the ten top selling albums in Australian history. While Ian Moss the guitarist and first singer is regarded as one of the best guitarists in the world with people like Joe Walsh comparing him to Eric Clapton. they are Australian icons and have been since about 1976.
Best use of a harmonica in a rock song ever!!
Cold chisel played at my high school social (formal) in the late 1970s. We also had the Angels (back then they were the keystone angels) play the following year.
Ironically Bow River is a dry creekbed in the middle of Australia near where the lead guitarist/singer Ian Moss grew up.
Chisel, live at Manly, 1980, Knocking On Heaven's Door. Moss's guitar and Walker's keyboards across the Aussie night, then Jimmy blasting out the final verse. Still makes my pores raise.

Aussie bands of the 70s 80s and 90s could stand with the best the world has to offer And I was there woohoo🐨🦘🐨🦘🐨🦘

More than band like watching history seeing them live.
Glad that you loved Cold Chisel. The harmonic is amazing on the live performance as is the harmony between Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes. When you listen to this again, the lyrics in this song are also amazing. Glad you love it. You can do worse things than going down the Cold Chisel rabbit hole. Truely Australian legends
Just another day at the office for the Chisel boys.....
