Recorded live at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion in April 2012, 'The Live Tapes Volume 1' was the bands first live release in over 10 years. This special concert set features 21 live recordings including all the classic hits.

This particular show will be long remembered by those who endured the monsoonal thunderstorm which lit up the harbour city as the band electrified the Hordern Pavilion that night. The gig came just a few months after Cold Chisel had wrapped their unforgettable "Light The Nitro" tour. The 36 dates on that run set all sorts of sales records, drawing over 300,000 people across Australasia. "We were really road hardened by the time of that Hordern gig because we'd just finished that big tour a few months prior", reflects the band's frontman, Jimmy Barnes. "Adding a few new songs in the set for those launch gigs kept things fresh for us. Listening and watching it back, it's raw and primal, warts and all - like the best rock & roll should be."
