Album Review: Cold Chisel: The Live Tapes Vol 3 - Live At The Manly Vale Hotel

Steve Bell

"The band's tough and uncompromising, and the sound pristine."

More Cold Chisel Cold Chisel

This new live release returns us to a sweaty Sydney pub in mid-1980, the week Cold Chisel dropped their soon-to-be-classic third album East.

We're privy to early airings of Cheap Wine, Standing On The Outside, Choirgirl, My Baby and more as well as choice cuts from their early reservoir of timeless classics. The band's tough and uncompromising, and the sound pristine; documenting a band at the top of the pile during a time when being able to kill it live counted for everything.
