Production

These Days: Live in Concert disc one was directed by

Ned Kelly in 2003.[3] The band chose Jordan because they did not want to present These Days: Live in Concert as "just straight-up live concert footage", but instead wanted to present it from a different angle. Jordan agreed, and believed that the band being a successful rock group from Brisbane was an interesting angle to work from.[4]

Disc one of These Days: Live in Concert was recorded by

Rodriguez.[5]

The band's live performances at large venues such as the Sydney Entertainment Centre was criticised by some fans, as the band had previously stated they disliked playing to large crowds. Drummer Jon Coghill said he was not bothered by the comments, as the band (other than guitarist Ian Haug) generally did not take much note of such critique.[7]

CD on 6 September 2004, through the record label Universal Music Australia .[8] Only 40,000 copies of the CD were initially created.[9] Meanwhile, the DVD version was released on 4 October 2004.[10] "Stumblin'", the first and only single
from the album, was released on 6 June 2004, but failed to chart.

These Days: Live in Concert entered the

ARIA charts at #2 19 September 2004, and spent a total of 8 weeks in the chart, exiting on 7 November 2004.[11] The CD version was certified "Gold" by ARIA,[12] while the DVD version was certified "Double Platinum" in the same year.[13]

These Days: Live in Concert received a mixed response from

b-side "Rita" as "an absolute hit as usual".[9]

Jeff Crawford, of Adelaide newspaper The Messenger disagreed with Bishop, giving the album three stars, and stating "Gregor Jordan's concert film makes the most of Powderfinger's strengths but can't disguise their lack of dynamism, while the interviews are hardly insightful". He called Fanning's solo on "These Days" the highlight of the album.[14]
