Jimmy Barnes - Official

What better way to spend a cold, winter, Monday night than with the amazing Jimmy Barnes and his band, made up of his wonderful wife - Jane, their family and friends. The 'Hell of a Time Tour' is Jimmy's first tour since his open heart surgery last year. He said that he wanted this tour to be intimate, to play some of his favourite songs and, "strip them back to the bare bones and really tell the stories. We think it's going to feel like you guys are sitting in our lounge room." That's exactly what we got plus, plus! The support act was Taylor Sheridan - a country boy, whose debut album 'Troubadour' will be released on 31 August 2024. It was just him, his beautiful voice and guitar. It's definitely on my download list! To the main event: it was absolutely amazing and included a special appearance by Ross Wilson. Jimmy's rendition of, 'The Bonnie banks of Loch Lomond' was beautiful. Unfortunately, my phone storage maxed out, so I didn't manage to dump data in time to capture it! The banter, love, respect, glances/check-ins and smiles between Jimmy and Jane is beautiful to watch, as is their obvious proudness and admiration of/for their family and other band members. The tour is sold out, but, if by luck you get the chance to snag some tickets, don't hesitate to go!

Jimmy is always so awesome and he still is. We found the concert very entertaining and I didn't want it to end! We loved the candid interaction and especially loved it when Jimmy and Jane had a dance! EJ is such a good singer too. We absolutely loved the concert and will definitely see him again if and when he and his band comes out to Perth. The opening act, Taylor Sheridan, was really good and entertaining too. His song about his grandmother was lovely and I found that it brought back memories of my relationship with my grandmother. I found it very touching. My last Jimmy Barnes performance was many years ago when he played a private show for delegates from Caltex Australia in Fiji ( or Mauritius) and he was fantastic then and superb even now! Thank you Jimmy Barnes 😊

Brilliant in a word, one of my favourite venues, so much more intimate. A different style of Jimmy but one of my all time favourites, he was so relaxed, at ease and it was great to see him surrounded by family all participating.,he thoroughly engaged the whole audience, brought back so many memories with his song collection. I’ve been a fan for over 40 years after emigrating to Australia and still today he is my number 1 artist. Just hope he can keep sharing his talent with us. The show took place on my birthday so it was a special occasion for me and one I’ll never forget. Great to see the age range of fans too, not just us oldies but all ages getting into the music. As I said, brilliant….

Jimmy was unbelievably fantastic, as usual. One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. I left there absolutely buzzing & can’t wait to see him again with Cold Chisel in October. Jimmy never ceases to amaze and inspire me with his voice, powerful, strong, consistent, his songs, new and old, his sheer talent and his ability to work the audience. What a show! It was effing awesome!

Best concert ever - loved all the songs selected and sung by the individual family band members, the inclusion of the bagpipes, the old hits and some new stuff soon to be released. Thank you for having Penrith on the tour schedule. Please do not retire the band as alluded to on Sunday night - instead consider another tour that might include places like the Orange Civic Centre (a great regional theatre). XXXX Johanna and George Yule.

After being cheered up by the Jane Barnes Band's online performances during the bleak Covid years, I was thrilled to be able to hop on a plane and head over to Australia to see the band performing on the Saturday and Sunday night at Tallagandra . The venue was fabulous and the Barnes family put on an epic performance both nights. Songs included a Doris Day classic, some Creedence Clearwater Revival, some Cold Chisel favourites (the audience raised the roof when we sang along with 'Flame Trees'), Carole King, Righteous Brothers and The Fureys. We were entertained for more than two hours both nights and after the shows Jimmy, Jane, Mahalia and Jackie chatted with fans, signed merch and happily posed for photos.

Like always, the Barnes family put on a fantastic show. Music well that's on a level of its own. A Great Show Thank you for an absolutely Magical Night at Bowral on Monday night. Next is Mahalia + The Soul Mates.... 🤙Thank you🤙

This was Jimmy Barnes last show before his upcoming surgery and he didn’t let us down. I love seeing his family members playing and interacting together, love the Doley brothers, man can they play those keyboards! Interesting to see Jimmy in his hometown of Adelaide as I’ve always seen him in Queensland, his reminiscing of Elizabeth and the Holden factory really hit home, especially when he played Shutting Down My Town, I never really appreciated this song until that night, at the Adelaide 500, Holdens last outing! And Jimmys for a while too! Great tight band, great hits and appropriate audience interaction.

Great to hear Jimmy Barnes sounding like Jimmy Barnes. He definitely threw everything into it (great performance)...wish he'd slipped in a few of his classics (Flame Trees or even Shutting down our Town) but it was his Soul Deep sounds we were there to see, and the crowd loved it. We were sitting in the nosebleed section so the volume was not the greatest, could hardly hear some of the voices over the backup instrumental (not sure who the sound mixer was) but it was a great night out anyway.

Glad we went so uplifting felt good - sound excellent - wonderful - jimmy you give us so much - To Love Somebody" Jimmy's version my fav I just melt & play over & over - Teskey Bros how great they are - sit back relax. Jimmy's backup singers & Mahalia wow glad I was there early - hi to sweet Jane - Jimmy you never dissapoint power on. Suzanne

I wish I had bought more expensive tickets. Sound was good. But venue needs a couple a large Video screens if they are going to use rear section of venue. Originally I bought tickets in the middle of the stage. Then ticketek moved us to a side section and to compensate one row forward..not really a compensation. Ordered a CD complete pack with a large T shirt..they shipped a small t shirt. Could not find signature on CD as ordered. In general support organisations let JB down

Absolutely brilliant show. Thank you Jimmy Barnes. The energy, the play list, the support acts, there were no faults with this show. The venue was perfect and a good range of merchandise (although I missed out on a coffee mug). I look forward to attending the next concert. Thank you once again.

I was 21 when soul deep came out. After previous cold chisel and jimmy Barnes music I have to admit it wasn’t my favourite album that came out ( still purchased it though because I had every other ) When tickets went on sale I knew I was going anyway as I haven’t missed a concert. Saturday night has given me a whole new love for this music. You never disappoint jimmy!

It's been so long since I've seen my Barnesy as they'd all been postponed but somehow the RHST was on and to say I was excited would be an understatement. Off we went and lined up like good soldiers,then thousands of us adhered to the covid guidelines so our concert wouldn't be stopped halfway through and that the other tours would proceed. So we sat like good adults and boogied in our seats,it was such a different rock experience by we were there and listening to live aussie music. All the bands were first class but a big special mention to Jon Stevens,he was definitely the almost best of the day,but that went to the Aussie legend that is the one and only Jimmy Barnes. Thankyou to all those that worked tirelessly to make this event happen,we are all so grateful. So keep a dancing and a singing and long live rock n roll 🥁🎶💜😺🎤

Been a fan for yonks but this was my first time seeing Jimmy live. He gave it all on stage ax I expected but the sound was a muddy mess where I was standing - way at the back cos I’m 6’5” 😬 - and it got worse toward the end. Might have been the venue but I would have expected the sound guys to be good enough Io compensate.

Having seen Jimmy on every visit he has made home over the last 15 years I have only missed one at King Tuts even after hanging on the phone for hours to be told all gone grrr but last night at the Garage was as memorable as it gets. it’s the best I have seen him with Jackie on drums he is phenomenal his guitarists were amazing and girls great as usual hope we get to meet you all next time you are here love to you all xxxx

It was a really good show. After watching him more times than I can remember, it was the first time I've sat and listened for an age. Perhaps coz that was b cause if travelled from the UK to do it! His voice doesn't have that succinct purity about it anymore, his well documented substance abuse and age has put pay to that; but when, at the age of 62, he still bowls 95% of his fellow singing peers out of the park; you have to take your hat off to him. He's carved his own path, when surely it could have been so easy to have joined Van Halen or AC/DC at some point, but he didn't, opting for instead, a large portfolio of original material, as was on display here.

A faultless performance, 100% of give from start to finish. This man is amazing, his story full of pain, terror, hardship intertwined with love and happiness. To get this far in life is a true credit to his beautiful wife, family and very very close friends. Working Class Boy was brilliant. Working Class Man is amazing and brings through a very strong message on mental and men’s health. Brilliant Mark McCann

I went to get his book signed,Working class man. I read his first book,Working class boy. I was so impressed with Jimmy as he stood up from his chair and shook everyone’s hand ,let everyone take photos, then signed our books.Then he said it’s nice to meet you,merry Xmas. I have gone to meet other celebrities and a lot can’t be bothered. Thank you Jimmy for going the extra distance. Xxxxx

What a thrill it was to finally shake the hand of Jimmy Barnes , say hi and thanks for all that he and Cold Chisel has given us all over the years. 40 years a fan and i hope i get to have another 40 to enjoy it all. The event was well oganised and the staff managing the event at Marion were very courteous and ever smiling. It was great to speak to some of the fans waiting in line from all walks of life and share the love of everything he and Cold Chisel have given us over the years. Still on a high 😄
