Together in Concert

In 2000 songwriters Dave Dobbyn, Tim Finn and Bic Runga joined forces for Together in Concert, a tour criss-crossing New Zealand and culminating in a hit album and four nights at Auckland's Civic Theatre. This documentary is a video diary with relaxed backstage footage (with the musicians often playing cameraperson) and one-on-one interviews. The musicians perform a selection from their stellar back catalogues, including Split Enz track 'I See Red', DD Smash's 'Whaling' and 'Sway' from Runga's breakthrough album Drive. Things get raucous in Palmerston North with a 'dress up' version of 'Be Mine Tonight'.

Five minutes before you go on stage is one of my favourite times in life: there's so much adrenaline and fear and excitement all mixed up, it's a very strong feeling. It's a physical feeling and a mental and emotional and a spiritual feeling really, because I do believe that rock'n' roll is a healing sort of power...
