Barnestorming

Barnestorming or Barnestorming Live is the first live album by Australian hard rocker, Jimmy Barnes, the former lead vocalist for Cold Chisel. It was released in November 1988 and went to number one on the Australian albums chart for three weeks later that month. Barnes and his backing band were recorded at their Melbourne performances from December 1987 to February 1988.

Background
Australian hard rocker, Jimmy Barnes (ex-Cold Chisel), released Barnestorming in November 1988, a year after the related concert performances in Melbourne had started. At that time, Barnes third solo album, Freight Train Heart (December 1987), had just been released and was his third number-one album on the Australian Albums Chart in a row.

To support its appearance he started the Barnestorming Tour with the line-up of Barnes on lead vocals and guitar, his brother-in-law, Johnny Diesel, on guitar, Dave Amato on guitar, Chris Bailey on bass guitar, Tony Brock on drums and Peter Kekell on keyboards.

It appeared on the Mushroom Records label as a 2× LP album, on CD and on 2× audio cassettes in Australia. The live recordings were mixed by Dave Thoener at Rhinoceros Studios, Sydney, in September 1988.
