Days Like These With Diesel tonight looks to a 1983 concert by The Angels at Narara music festival in rural NSW, as told by band members Rick Brewster, John Brewster and Dave Gleeson.

In 1983, The Angels had something to prove. They had just come off a disappointing US tour and lead singer Doc Neeson had announced to his fellow band members that this would be his last gig. For two days, all the top bands in Australia played to a crowd of more than 40,000 fans in a country music festival known as Narara.

Narara 1983 is remembered mainly for the riveting show put on by one band, The Angels. Beneath a full, blood-red moon, Doc Neeson went ballistic, literally risking life and limb to deliver one of the most mesmerising performances by any front man, ever.

Wednesday May 25 8:30pm on ABC TV Plus.

  1. The Narara 83 festival was on the NSW Central Coast, not rural NSW. Also, Narara 83 wasn’t a country music festival – very much a rock festival.
