I must admit that I was never a great fan of Cold Chisel. To most Aussie rock 'n' roll aficionados that's something worse than heresy. Saving my soul from rock 'n' roll Hell is the fact that I thought Bow River was a terrific song and Khe San was OK. Cold Chisel formed in 1973 as Orange, thankfully changing their name a year later. Hitting the big time in 1978 they had a string of hits through to the early 80s before disbanding in 1984.
Credit where it's due, though. Here's a great live version of Bow River.
