Cold Chisel Continue To Add Surprises On The Big Five-O Tour

Six shows into The Big Five-O tour Cold Chisel have not played the same setlist twice. Last night in Wollongong, ‘Plaza’ popped into the setlist.

‘Plaza’ was Side One Track Five on the second Cold Chisel album ‘Breakfast At Sweethearts’. It is a Don Walker penned song with Ian Moss on lead vocals.

‘Plaza’ popped up at song 13 on the Wollongong setlist, a position designated for Ian to choose a song he sang lead on. In Sydney 12 October he chose ‘Rosaline’ off the debut album. The previous show was Ian performing the standard ‘Georgia On My Mind’. ‘Georgia’ was also played on the Gold Coast on 8 October and Armidale on 5 October but it was ‘Rosaline’ for the first time in 19 years at the warm-up Barking Spiders show in Wollongong on 2 October.

The opening song rotates each night as well. ‘Mr Crown Prosecutor’ from 1999’s ‘The Last Wave of Summer’ opened the 2 and 12 October shows. ‘Standing On the Outside’ from 1980’s ‘East’ opened the shows of 5, 8 and 15 October. ‘Wild Colonial Boy’ from the ‘Circus Animals’ album opened the first Sydney show on 11 October.

The fusion of Pink Floyd's iconic album "Dark Side of the Moon" with the classic film "The Wizard of Oz" is a legend that has intrigued fans and audiophiles for decades. This synchronization, often referred to as "The Dark Side of the Rainbow," suggests that the album, when played in conjunction with the film, produces uncanny coincidences that seem too deliberate to be mere chance. Recently, David Gilmour, the legendary guitarist of Pink Floyd, addressed these longstanding rumours in an interview, shedding light on the band's perspective.
