Cold Chisel - No Good For You (Live At The Playroom)

[@descarnell4050]

My name is Des Carnell and my family owned the Playroom from construction in 1966 to sale in 1986. From 1980 to 1986 I videotaped every major Aus and OS band with an in house 3 camera crew from our own video studio. This Cold Chisel video was one track of a full concert recorded by us and a copy was given to every band in return for us being allowed to play the concert in our video lounge nightly. How it found its way here I dont Know but enjoy!!

[@357HFC]

I, for one say a big thank you!

[@wildthing3241]

Do you still own this full concert? You should contact Chisel about releasing it

[@ajo3085]

@@wildthing3241 Cold Chisel included a lot of bonus material when they released their remastered album series quite a few years back. This song and Wild Colonial Boy from the Playroom (plus Taipan from An Evening With The Circus Animals & Houndog from Germany '82) were included as a bonus DVD with the Circus Animals set so based on Des's comment and the bands (slow) progress getting their bootleg series out, hopefully one day we will all be able to enjoy the full show.

Thanks from the bottom of my heart:)

[@kazz3956]

Thank you for having the foresight to video performances. As the years go by , they are even more valuable.

[@jamcofec]

One of their most unheralded and best songs.

[@357HFC]

In my top four!

[@mattytee74]

Agreed. This and Wild Colonial Boy. Dynamite.

[@oncall21]

This was in my opinion the best guitar album Chisel put out (and that's a big call). Such a tight band and Australia's best ever. Thanks for sharing!

[@aldunlop4622]

Circus Animals yeah? Yeah I wore mine out.

[@RichardYoung-n8d]

Fkn classic!!! An underplayed Mossy classic!!!!

[@andrewcameron1346]

1982. What a different world it was. Saw them live twice and bought every album, mostly on cassette. Plenty of driving done then. Loved the way they evolved. An embarrassment of riches in that band honed by hundreds of shows.

Best band in the world xxxx

In my top 2 or 3

[@357HFC]

Many people who claim to love Chisel, do not even know this great song. Probably not album buyers.

[@357HFC]

Yep! Keen to know your others. Only One, Khe Sanh, Flame Trees, Saturday Night (live)... How about we pick our top 50 or 60? :)

[@10shamus]

Amazing band. Nothing else compares. Versatile, magical. Great vocals, instrumental, song writing.

[@redward13]

Ive always loved that song, have never heard that version before, was totally awesome 😎. Love it when I find new (to me) jimmy and chisel stuff, been a fan forever now. Thanks Benjamin

[@TheMichaelseymour]

wow ...they had to work hard for that one ! Mossys guitar cuts out ....mucks with his amp and lead...then his pedals ....jimmy looked concerned as don held it together ,.,,,then jimmy went flat a few times ..but why not ? What a hard tune to sing ,,, what a great song by moss ! Has some 60s r&B elements ...i loved it ,

[@grengeg7373]

Need this concert on dvd!

[@hoppa1979a]

brilliant version. Prezza `s drumming, nice keyboards at end, too

[@357HFC]

One of my favourite CHISEL songs. Barnes and MOSS vocals. This is even better than the version on Circus Animals.

[@ajo3085]

Aside from the different words, it's the same way they did the vocals on Circus Animals with Mossy singing the same harmony parts on the album he sings here??

[@357HFC]

@@ajo3085 my point being that I prefer this because it is live.😊

[@ajo3085]

@@357HFC No worries... you confused me when you had Mossy in caps and mentioned the vocals.

[@357HFC]

Yep, definitely my favourite band and for many reasons. Just my opinion.

[@buzzachisel]

Another work in progress captured for prosperity. Love the different lyrics and arrangement. Shows how the band refined the song for the album. Awesome.

[@Aaron-uf3sl]

buzzachisel I'd say it's because Barnes is really, really pissed hence the made up lyrics

[@357HFC]

@@Aaron-uf3sl When, in those days, was he not? :) You may be right, though.

[@andrewpower6934]

@@Aaron-uf3sl these early versions of songs often had different lyrics. One example is "Four Walls", which was a song about loneliness, not prison. "Four Walls, Washbasin, Double Bed". Look closely, Mossy is singing the same when he does Vocals.

[@ajo3085]

@@Aaron-uf3sl Yeah, nothing to do with Barnesy being pissed. Chisel often played works in progress live to work them out before going into the studio. Within the Chisel bootleg community there's plenty of examples of early versions of songs being played prior to them going into the studio to record them.

[@357HFC]

Found it, finally. Love this song, so glad I now have vision.

[@pubcrawlchannel3619]

Drinking VB now - love this !!!

[@1530max]

Just incredible.

Thanks for the blast to the past Benjamin 🖒 Aussie Rock Legends. Rock On 🎸🎙🔊🤘😆

[@roostersbays95]

Wacky....Races....

[@fontellakoleff5054]

Still think the version on Swingshift with Dave Blight is the best version of this awesome song. Pity it doesn’t seem to have been filmed.

[@MrRhino10]

love it

[@paulfuller8985]

Different lyrics from the album version , must have been recorded before Circus Animals came out .

[@Rockstardust69]

Nothing will ever beat the version off Swing Shift

[@daniellaoberon2307]

brilliant. and at the Playroom on the Goldie, I lived a few blocks from there - rough place, great bands!!

[@stephenformosa471]

What suburb was it in up there

[@travelsolo2677]

Haha I got into a fight at this place in the mid 80’s at a Euroglidrrs and Angels concert

[@daniellaoberon2307]

Palm Beach.

[@daniellaoberon2307]

Lucky if you didn't get put in the cage by the bouncers and beaten. That's how they were back then.

[@jazzndbuster6417]

Good Stuff !!!!! Thankyou

[@Justinnewy]

This should be on DVD

[@bayent01]

This on the collectors Circus Animals Bonus DVD.. One of Mossy's better songs.

[@gavvisser2176]

I ADORE THIS SONG. The only other is better is oNLY oNE..........

[@dedogman]

One of their best - although I do prefer the album version.

[@poitor492]

Should of been a single 💪🏻

[@andrewreynolds3133]

not sure Barnesy was totally across the lyrics this night

[@andrewpower6934]

It was an early version. The album came out in '82, this was years before.

[@conorhudson4021]

​@@andrewpower6934 2 months before...

[@BeAGoodDoga]

Absolutely great! Such a shame Jimmy has a sore throat, which is why he's struggling through the song... Also different lyrics? Unfinished obviously.

[@josephjohnson3264]

Barney's as pissed as
