Days Like These…With Diesel

This music documentary series, hosted and narrated by musician Mark Lizotte, aka ‘Diesel’, use a compelling mix of archival footage and new interviews to revisit some of Australia’s most seminal concerts and uncover the intriguing stories behind them. Each episode tells of an exceptional, unforgettable concert and what made it so special.

By talking to people who were there; band members, tour managers, and musicians from other bands – Mark explores the unique circumstances that led to each of the concerts featured and finds out why they became such memorable events.

Amongst the episodes, we see Jet play to a home audience after an extensive period touring overseas; the farewell concert from Hunters & Collectors; Baby Animals celebrate their 25^th anniversary; The Angels mesmerise the audience at Narara; Diesel takes to the stage with his family; a high-voltage performance by Rose Tattoo at the unusual venue of Boggo Road Gaol, and Jimmy Barnes, who conquered a heart attack and heart surgery, putting on a remarkable show at the Sydney Opera House.

Contributors to the series read like a roll call of ‘who’s who’ in Australian music and include Rose Tattoo’s Angry Anderson, Icehouse’s Iva Davies, Eurogliders’ Grace Knight, Troy Cassar-Daley and Baby Animals’ Suze DeMarchi.
