Live is as real and as close to the bone as you can get - and that's how diesel loves it. Treating his audiences to the strength and diversity of his musical skill-set by introducing a string quartet to his ensemble, the results can be SEEN and HEARD in glorious 5.1 surround sound on diesel's new DVD release diesel + strings 'live at the vanguard'. Recorded at Sydney's intimate Vanguard Theatre, diesel was joined by Lee Moloney and Ritchie Vez to make up this incredibly dynamic musical recipe and then the subtlety and smoothness of the string quartet (under arranger Marcus Holden) brings the whole show to the boil. Performing selections from albums as far back as his debut with the Injectors, diesel shines on classic cuts such as 'Tip Of My Tongue', '15' Of Snow', and 'Cryin' Shame'. He also finds new life in staples 'Don't Need Love' and 'Come To Me' and delivers his finest moments on new tunes 'Crazytown', 'Positive' and 'Saviour' and with the help of Sydney songstress Carmen D. Smith, tears the house down in their rendition of the Pete Wells penned 'Meaning Of Life'. For a limited time only the DVD contains a 14 track live CD. Features: Rehearsing for the first time with the string section &diesel chatting openly about the Marand 12 string guitar, his love of strings and playing with the quartet and playing at The Vanguard
