Rose Tattoo To Recall Historic ‘93 Gig On TV Doco Airing Tonight

Rose Tattoo members Angry Anderson and Mark Evans will recount the band’s seminal 1993 gig at Boggo Road Gaol on tonight’s episode of Days Like These With Diesel.

Former CEO of record label Alberts, Fifa Riccobono will also appear in the episode, airing tonight at 8:30pm on ABC TV Plus and ABC iView.

The performance, featuring the original line-up of Angry Anderson, Peter Wells, Geordie Leech and Mick Cocks reuniting to celebrate the closing of the jail, was released on DVD almost three decades ago.

Hosted by musician Mark Lizotte, aka Diesel, Days Like These... revisits “some of the most brilliant and unforgettable moments in Australian music history”.

Jet’s 2004 performance at The Forum kicked things off last month before Baby Animals, Hunters & Collectors, The Angels and Diesel were featured in episodes two to five.

Following Rose Tattoo tonight, Jimmy Barnes will feature next week before Eurogliders, Archie Roach, Icehouse, Troy Cassar-Daley and Cold Chisel take focus later in the year.

When the series was first announced, Lizotte said: “Days Like These…with Diesel has been an absolute delight and honour to host. 

“The series brings together some of the most quintessential Australian bands from the past few decades, that help define our nation’s recent music past, and celebrates important, moments in their concert history."
