I'd also add the personal "best of" version of Heat to that list. The various official versions of the album always left something to be desired, but if you took the best of the best, you ended up with one heck of a rocking album.

try this on for size....
Wheels in Motion
Stand Up
Burn Baby Burn
A Little Bit of Love
Love Thing
Stone Cold
Wait for Me
Tears We Cry -- from the extended album...cool little ballad
Sitting in a Bar -- classic Don Walker and can't figure out how it got left off
I'd Rather Be Blind
Catch Your Shadow

lucky you. East coast of the USA is pretty much out of luck to ever see him perform live.

Did you see the Cold Chisel show on the couple of UK dates during the summer? After years of neglecting the UK, it seems Barnes is trying to get back and play there again.

no, don't replace Last Frontier. Pick something else please. Out of the two, When the War Is Over is a better song, but don't replace one of the best songs on the album when there are others far more deserving of being replaced.
