Following the (not so) secret “Barking Spiders” show in Wollongong earlier this week, the first official show of Cold Chisel’s ‘The Big Five O’ tour kicked off in Armidale, NSW on Saturday, 5 October 2024.
Why Armidale? The very first Cold Chisel show was 2 March 1974 at the Armidale Town Hall. Don Walker was studying in Armidale at the time.
Show two was a different show to the Barking Spiders show in the ‘Gong.
‘One Long Day’ from the debut album was played for the first time since 2015. Live favs covers ‘Don’t Let Go’ and ‘Georgia’ popped up for the Armidale show. ‘HQ454 Monroe’ from 2011 also returned.
However around the moving parts there are the staple from the five classic albums of the initial era, 1978 to 1984 and the albums ‘Cold Chisel’, ‘Breakfast at Sweethearts’, ‘East’, ‘Circus Animals’ and ‘Twentieth Century’.
