Cold Chisel has played their first of The Big Five O shows with the (not so) secret show as The Barking Spiders at Anita’s Theatre in Wollongong.

Here is the setlist from that first show indicating what we can expect across the tour.

1998’s ‘Mr Crown Prosecutor’ from ‘The Last Wave of Summer’ album opened the show. The last time Chisel performed the song was in 2010.

‘Painted Doll’ from 1984’s ‘Twentieth Century’ was played for the first time since 2015.

‘Rosaline’ from the debut Chisel album in 1978 was played for the first time in 20 years.

‘You’ve Got To Move’ from the 2024 compilation ‘50 Years – The Best Of’ was played for the first time as a Chisel song. The song was originally released by Don Walker on his 2023 solo album ‘Lightning in a Clear Blue Sky’.

For fans of Queen, John Deacon has long been the enigma of the band, a brilliant musician, masterful songwriter, and humble presence behind the scenes. Since the early 1990s, Deacon has shunned the spotlight, retiring quietly after Freddie Mercury’s death in 1991. But now, years later, he has quietly resurfaced, lending his signature alongside bandmates Roger Taylor and Brian May on a charity auction item, signalling, perhaps, that even the most private of souls can still make their mark in unexpected ways.
