Khe Sanh - 2011 Remastered

The group is Australian. This was written by their keyboard player, Don Walker. It documents the life of a returned Vietnam veteran. After serving in the war, he fails to fit into society anymore. It is also about the restlessness of youth.

This is a "Bar room classic" in Australia. Somewhere, sometime, this will be either played by the bar band or come on the jukebox, and 90% of the crowd will all sing along and know most of the words. It is also heavily played on Australian classic rock radio stations.

This was Cold Chisel's first single and debut album. It was remixed and included on the US version of the album East in 1981.
