Cold Chisel
The Live Tapes Vol 5: Live At The Bondi Lifesaver Feb 29, 1980 (2CD)
The legendary Cold Chisel have unearthed a fierce live recording from deep in their archives. Captured on two multitrack tapes on a Friday night at the end of February 1980, it showcases the five-piece band at a pivotal moment - just 3 days before they entered Paradise Studio in Sydney's Woolloomooloo to record their breakthrough album East.
Of particular interest to Cold Chisel fans is hearing the 7 East songs in their pre-studio form ("Choirgirl" had been released as a single in late 1979). Some songs were still coming together, only 3 days prior to the album recordings; parts were still being written and a couple of sections were ad-libbed. Others ("Standing On The Outside" and "Tomorrow") reveal substantially different arrangements to what the band subsequently crafted with East producer Mark Opitz.
