One of the greatest rock bands ever. Try “When The War Is Over” from the 2003 Ringside concert.

Ian moss is also lead vocalist on “My Baby”, “Saturday Night”, and “When the war is over”. All great songs. You should also checkout some of his solo material from the albums “Matchbook”, “Soul on west 53rd”, and the acoustic album “Six strings “. I have seen him live many times. His voice is so smooth. He is definitely an underrated vocalist.

One thing to understand about Chisel and lots of Aussie bands of the late 70s and early eighties is that they came up through a very strong Pub Rock circuit. I used to go to the pubs and get off my face (what I think you young ones might called “leathered”) and Cold Chisel made their bones on this. Long Live Pub Rock n Roll 🎸

Mossy is one of the greatest singers to ever walk on a stage. I have been lucky enough to have worked with him and he’s one of the most humble human beings I’ve ever met.

Fun fact - in Cold Chisel’s hey day they would play small venues under the alias of the ‘Barking Spiders’; just for the fun of it 😎 - an EP called ‘The Barking Spiders’ was released - this EP, has all their best songs on it, played in a tiny venue and perfectly captures the essence of their music 💚

the start of this song is some of the best vocal harmonies you will ever hear. as a boy from the bush this song always made me feel all emotional.

Ian moss is touring England this year, you should try and get along to one of the shows, he’s still got it.

Spot on, we were spoiled to have a rock band with two world class lead male singers. Whatever went on behind the scenes to break up the band, their on stage performances were the most fantastic blend of consummate professionals supporting each other all the way. Barnsley and Mossy traded off leads on entire songs, within songs, and duetted voices or voice with guitar spectacularly. My favourite duet of theirs is Barne’s voice with Moss’ guitar for Wild Thing (live, The Last Stand). Barnes went on to duet with so many people, and you can see the foundation here singing with Moss where he pulls back his belting power so he’s never overpowering and drowning out the other singer/s… until it’s his turn to take solo. The sweetness of their voices together, soaring smoothly in flight is all the more precious and unexpected in contrast to Barnsey’s usual raw rasp, and Ian’s solo blues

So now, you really need to watch the reunion 2003 live performance of this song. The maturity and brilliance is jaw dropping. MUST go down as one of the greatest live performances of all time !...........Hint..........they drop the tempo !

This song's lyrics are pure Moss. In Europe you get excited by spring. In The Territory during winter the skies are cloudless and unchanging. The landscape is hot brown and seemingly dead. Then the Buildup happens along with a magic that has to be experienced. Huge thunderstorms with mind blowing lightning dropping massive amounts of rain. Then the country explodes. Green everywhere in shades you can only imagine. Everyone has a knowing smile on their faces as the birds change and the frogs sing while the creeks, waterholes and rivers swell and overflow. The wet season just arrives and fucking roars. Northern hemisphere spring? I've experienced it and it's like some pre packaged item from a shop....😉

Try the 2003 version.

One of the best bands I’ve ever seen live!

The 2003 concerts the best, they aged like fine wine and it’s more cohesive. Mossy is just a good as Barnesy, both legends here!!

''body art'' lol..

A great band with two lead singers who gel well through the duet phases.

Mossy and Barnsey actually compliment each other really, one of my all time favourite groups, Mossy imo is underrated unless you’re Australian or Kiwi and he is a National treasure downunder, great group of bands and artists came out of both countries during the 70s and 80s and still continues though this was the go,den era for both imo, listen to When the War is over my fav CC song long with this, we would cruise the country roads to the rivers and lakes on the 80s and 90s with this belting out on the cassette and then 6 disc stacker, still have this on my playlist on my iPod today. Chisel will never die and I actually prefer Mossy to Barnsey, but both are great, the whole group was is. If you haven’t you need to deep dive down under, Dragon, Mi Sex, LRB, Icehouse, Midnight Oil, The Angels, Men At Work, Hoodoo Gurus, Australian Crawl, awesome too, Hunters and Collectors, Sherbert, Chopper, Rodney Rude might surprise ya

The harmonica player is Dave Blight, awesome he was the 1st Sth Aussie to compete in Blues Challenge Memphis duo with Mick Kidd. Unrelated but I do hop you check out Kasey Chambers cover of Lose Yourself but Jimmy and Johnny and more raise the bar high live, she reached it.

Ian Moss is so incredibly underrated - he is a phenomenal guitarist who gets very distinct tones and a lot of variety in the notes, has a great feel for the overall music and how the guitar fits in with it plus his voice in terms of both the tone and his control and delivery are also incredible as you've seen here. This song is just the tip of the iceberg for Ian Moss by the way - the more cold chisel you hear the more you'll suddenly realise his voice is often at the fore or a big part of a mix of both guys in a lot of their songs. Super talented guy, and on top of all that a great entertainer. He's equally at home with just his voice and an acoustic guitar as well.

Seen them live a few times but I'll never forget Mossy singing Georgia about 10 years ago. His voice is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard, I think I cried haha

Ian Moss the smooth resonance voice and songwriting and epic guitar riffs, Steve Pestwitch song writing and freestyle drumming & Jimmy Barnes the rough high voice. Plus the lyrical value of true to work class hearts is what made Cold Chisel the embodiment of Australian rock

I would see them at my favourite pub in Geelong Australia , INXS and all the other Aussie bands played local, i didnt know it , i was having the best time but now i know how good was my life!

Cold Chisel had 2 lead singers. Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes. Now you know why they're one of our most loved bands. 🇦🇺

I agree that there is a special magic when Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss sing together. The contrasts and harmonies of their particular vocal styles work amazingly well. Have you listened to “When the War is Over”? That’s another Cold Chisel song that showcases the two of them brilliantly.

I grew up listening to Cold Chisel (🇦🇺) and this is one of my faves

One of my favourite Chisel songs.. Loved both Him and Jimmy...hearing this live was something else.. Lucky to see them live at my local 3-4 times in their early years.

When Jimmy & Mossy sang harmonies.. It was magical..

"Jimmy just lets rip" No better summary of Barnseys life and career exist.

Bow River is a homestead on the Bow River in the North East of Western Australia. Its closest capital city is actually Darwin in the Northern Territory about 570km to the North-North-East (the capital of Western Australia is Perth, about 2080km away to the Southwest of Bow River). Keep up the good work.

If you wish to hear how smooth jimmy could be you need to go back to the first charting song for Cold Chisel called Choir Girl that started the Journey

Thank you Beth for introducing me to a new and woderful rock group 🎶❤🎶🌹

I was so lucky to grow up when I did in Australia. Cold Chisel , The Angels , Rose Tattoo and AC/DC.

As much as i love Jimmy he is a great performer and front man but Mossies voice is on another level.

"Wasting my days on a factory floor". It's about being escaping a town that has one main employer. A car factory. "I don't wanna see another engine line. Too many years that I owe my mind".

Good choices!

I play this song with my Gen X Band, with a harmonica player.. It goes OFF.. Cold Chisel started in my hometown of Adelaide, South Australia (where Jim Barnes grew up, hes a Scot, and where Johnny Farnham started). Ian Moss is AMERICAN (hence the slight accent), grew up in the MIDDLE of Australia at a US Air Base.. The harmonica player is David Blight, who still plays around town in Blues clubs.. and a really nice guy, and this is possibly the greatest harp solo ever. Jim calls out, just before the harp solo 4:46 "Come On David".. Harmonica solo time!!!

I've seen Cold Chisel a number of times throughout their career (I remember a fantastic concert with The Divinyls as the opening band at Long Jetty community hall) *but* I have also seen Ian Moss solo in a pub environment (Great Northern Hotel for any Sydneysiders). Absolutely magical with his singing style, his guitar work and of course; his lyrics.

Nothing like the great Aussie pub bands of the 70s,80s and 90s. The bands went hard the punters went hard and always one hell of a night with ears ringing for days. Albert records and produces recorded and managed alot of the hard rocking bands with Vander snd Young the writer's and produces of the Aussie sound track. Bringing bands in straight after their pub gigs to rocord that raw sound with all the recording needles in the red bouncing like the true pub sound. Bands like The Angles, Rose Tattoo, ACDC, Cold Chisel ,Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs, glam bands Sky Hook's snd the list goes on. And the grand daddy of rock and roll Johnny O'Keefe starting in the 1950s launching Rock and Roll in Australia with Col Joy and the Joy boys. Then Billy Thorpe and the Original Aztecs playing in Kings Cross Sydney NSW in places like Surf City Checkers in the 1960s. Raw unashamed hard driving Aussie pub music. Bring it.

A Must See is the version which is under Ringside Bow River, where they have all really got it all together even better and even more dynamically polished and have wowed the world of KZread.

You mention it being B-side. It's only in the last decade that people have started to revisit it and appreciate it. I had this version on my walkman, and wore it out, but nobody else knew it at the time.

Need to do a reaction to When the War is Over, from the 2003 concert. Just beautiful. From their Last Stand concert (1983), Moss did a cover of Georgia. Brilliant.

I (along with other Jimmy/Mossy/Chisel fans) had the huge privilege of seeing Jimmy and Mossy performing Bow River, When the War is Over and lots of other classic songs in a series of sunset concerts on a beach at Kandooma in the Maldives in Sept 22. One of the best weeks of my life

For most of my life you couldn't go to an Aussie Barbeque/Party without hearing this song at some point during the night.

Great song, heard Ian sing the same song about a month ago in Perth WA. That song takes me back to that country like no other. Bow River is in Western Australia, not far from the NT though. The river is fed from Lake Argyle. They run cattle up there, it’s a little too far north (tropical) for sheep - by a thousand kilometres or more 😊. I used to work a bit to the east (NT side of the border) in the ‘90’s and a mate of mine built the bridge over the river on the highway.

And this wasn't even the best live version of this song! (Do check out the Ringside 2003 live version. 😊) I really like the combo of Mossy's and Barnsey's voices. I think singing with Mossy is what has made Jimmy so good at all the duets he's done since. Another song where their voices are combined to amazing effect is 'When the War is Over' again live from the 2003 Ringside tour. 'Saturday Night' is another one where they share vocals, but you need the official video version of that because the song includes nightlife noises that are just fabulous and that you don't want to miss. 👌 And okay, honestly, you also need to hear Jimmy Barnes singing 'Wild Thing' with Cold Chisel live from the Last Stand concerts in the early 1980s. It will blow your mind! 😂

Mossy sings quite a few songs in Chisel, as well as his own songs. I love them both and have seen them live many times.

Bow River is a great song and having both Ian and Jimmy singing is a real treat, but David Blight (I believe) on the harp is what everyone wants to hear. His relentless playing throughout nearly the entirity of the song was/is mind numbingly brilliant!

This was my pool playing song back in the early 80s when I worked construction out around Blackwater in central Queensland.

Currently on tour in the UK (June 2023). He was incredible in London on Saturday 3rd June and he is in Newcastle (7th), Manchester (9th) and finishing in Glasgow Saturday 10th June.

I saw Chisel for the first time at Armidale Uni - UNE not in the big concert room but the Uni Bar with the upstairs mezzanine - they didn't have their first eponymous album out yet - maybe '78 - they were a revelation. Back then Mossy and Barnsey had their long curley hair - we got hit with songs we had never heard before - like Khe Sahn - Home and Broken Hearted - Shippin's Steel - Mona and Preacher and the absolutely transcendant - One Long Day - Iv'e never seen a live performance eclipse them....They were also the coolest looking band in the country. And oh yea. Mossy and Barnsey sure could sing.

This is the best version to l8sten to. You even get to hear the crowd at the start singing along.

Another great one for highlighting Mossy on lead with Jimmy's harmonys you need to check out 'Saturday Night". It's an absolute ripper!

This was decades ago. Chisel was touring the country in a bus, and were bad, bad boys. Jimmy had long hair, and used to pack a bottle of vodka away each night on stage. But wow, they rocked! Chisel was unusual in that they had two lead singers, as in this song.

His voice is incredible. Killer song to. You should here him sing Georgia on my mind

Mossy a legend, great singer, and a monster on the guitar, and a pretty good bloke too. And Georgia is simply brilliant and then change down to The Party's Over.

The thing with this band is that they can all sing very well with Jimmy and Mossy both being absolute world class. I honestly rate Cold Chisel one of the best bands in history *without* Jimmy Barnes and then when you add Jimmy's iconic voice and stage presence to the mix, it pushes them into the stratosphere. You should do "When The War Is Over" and "Flame Trees" next, preferably the 2003 Ringside versions.

By far one of their best songs in my opinion. The thing I love about this band is the fact that they tell a story in every song. Great albums and loads of brilliant material is what makes Cold Chisel such a great band and thats why they are still as popular today as they were 40-50 years ago. Barnesy is an Australian icon and one of the most successful male artists this country has ever produced but I think its fair to say that Mossy is one of the most underrated guitarists the country has ever produced as well.

You would really love listening to Jimmy Barnes sing with his son David Campbell. One song they sing is *You’ll Never Walk Alone* during a Christmas event called Candles By Candlelight in Australia. Jimmy is getting dead serious with his son singing without the rasp. David is so much like his father (spitting image I think) and like many in the family they are all professional singers in their own right. A must watch for you, you will not be disappointed. They also did a cover of *You've Lost That Loving Feeling* .

The vocal tag team of Ian Moss and Jimmy Barnes is sensational. Mossy has that soulful, bluesey delivery and Jimmy has the ability to take it to a whole step beyond. One common thing the guys did, as demonstrated here, was for Ian to establish the melody in the first couple of verses and then Jimmy would take a third verse up into a harmony of it as lead vocal. It was a 1-2 punch combo that most other bands couldn’t match. @Beth, I would highly recommend for your own pleasure just listening to the studio versions of Bow River, When The War Is Over, Janelle, and Saturday Night by Cold Chisel for just a few examples of how they work as a vocal team. Additionally, as I’m sure many people would have suggested, check out their superb cover of Wild Thing from their Last Stand concert back in the 80s. They broke up after five albums due in no small part to Jimmy and the drummer Steve Prestwich having full on fist fights. The Last Stand was the band giving one last tour as a team, although they did reform decades later.

Bow River is in the NE of Western Australia in the kimberlies, and you can be 100's of miles from the nearest light source.

Bow River is actually up in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, approximately 150km's south of Kununurra. It is in the Area of the now closed Argyle Diamond mine. No sheep..just cattle.

I love cold chisel, saw them live in the 70's- early 80's and while bow river is such a famous track my personal favorite track with Ian Moss is My Baby...one of the best chisel/moss songs ever

I think I might have suggested this in the comments of one of your jimmy barnes videos (I'm sure I wasn't the only one!), I'm so glad you liked their blending voices!

My favourite song of all time!
