Cold Chisel performed a song at their Barking Spiders show in Sydney on Wednesday night few Chisel fans would be aware of.

‘A Better Time, A Better Place’ opened the second encore at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney.

‘A Better Time, A Better Place’ was recorded for but no used on the 1998 album ‘The Last Wave Of Summer’. While the song didn’t make the final cut of the album it did make the b-side of the second single from the album ‘Water Into Wine’. It was also included on the 2011 rarities record ‘Besides’.

The Barking Spiders Live show at Sydney’s Enmore was a warm-up show for the Adelaide 500 performance this Friday.

The Barking Spiders name was a reference to the 1984 live album sourced from the final Chisel shows at the Sydney Entertainment Centre the previous year.
