Could have been so much better.
I stumbled upon this recently when channel skipping and saw the rest (except for ep 1 which was no longer available) on ABC iview.
The concept is sound, each ep discusses a concert by a band or artist. Of course some bands are more interesting than others.
The ep I caught on TV was Rose Tattoo which turned out to be the most interesting band interviewed. The Eurogliders despite being great musically were the most boring.
A lot of the time it is just the same people in the eps talking about other bands and it becomes a bit of a love fest.
What made me cringe is the host Diesel has an ep of his own concert and also 2 eps are devoted to his brother in law Jimmy Barnes, one for Jimmy's solo career and one for the band Cold Chisel.
It would have been great to have an ep on the Divinyls but I guess Chrissie being sadly RIP that may have been difficult or not considered a good idea for whatever reason.
Although the eps are mostly enjoyable they are also shallow and nothing much is really gained from the experience. Still a great idea though and would love to see more attempts at this kind of thing.
