Multi-camera documentary of the 1996 Big Day Out concerts (Jan - Feb) with footage from Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide & Perth

The three live NC songs shown are:
Red Right Hand (guitar solo instead of organ)

The Mercy Seat (with Warren)
Plus brief backstage footage of Mick and Warren playing "Mercy", "The Weeping Song" and "Hava Nagila". Also Perry Farrell backstage singing "(I'll Love You) Till The End Of The World" and his impersonation of NC singing Porno For Pyros "Blood Rag".
There is more footage of NC than any other act, who each have only one song, excepting Regurgitator, Spiderbait & Porno For Pyros who have two each.
After (and occasionally during) each performance we see footage of crowd scenes, skateboarding, audience interviews, folk dancing, etc. There are also a lot of short segments of backstage footage of NC & BS, most of it shot by NC himself. These brief snippets include:
- NC in swimming pool with toy floaty
- Martyn demonstrating how to make a fruit daiquiri, with guitar accompaniment by Mick
- NC backstage introducing Jim, Martyn, Warren and Mick
- NC ringing his Mum and telling her she's the best Mum in the world
- NC interviewing Blixa, Thomas, and a very stoned Perry Farrell

- NC talking to Rowland, Blixa, Tony Cohen, Kylie Minogue and her Mum Carol
