2012 was an epic year for the return of Australian stalwarts Cold Chisel, playing a massive sold out tour and releasing their first studio album, No Plans, in 14 years. There is no better way to commemorate and preserve this period of time by releasing The Live Tapes Vol. 1: Live At The Hordern Pavilion. Hard to believe it’s the first live release since Ringside 10 years ago. Two CDs and a DVD (or BluRay) makes for an awesome package with all the hits such as Flame Trees, Khe Sanh, Cheap Wine and Choir Girl, plus a taster of newer material also.

50 Years of Hits. One unforgettable story. Cold Chisel: The Big Five-O Live celebrates five decades of anthems that defined Australian music, from Khe Sanh to Standing On The Outside and Flame Trees. Recorded at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl in November 2024 during their massive 50th anniversary tour, this film captures Cold Chisel in peak form - raw, loud, emotional, and still unmatched on stage. High-voltage performances, amplified by a crowd singing every word. Following its broadcast premiere on Channel 7, the double-disc DVD brings the full Cold Chisel concert experience home – with 10 additional songs and over an hour of additional interviews.
