Description: This ?Old Grey Whistle Test? TV special was originally shown by the BBC in the UK in 1986. However, the source tape used for this DVD is taken from a rebroadcast in Asian and comes complete with Chinese subtitles. The documentary features an interview with Bruce circa 1985 and a number of complete songs, although several of them are official videos. Of most interest are two performances from Philadelphia in 1984 (?Born in the USA? and ?Cover Me?). A third track from Philadelphia ?84 (?Detroit Medley?) consists almost entirely of film of the audience !
What makes this DVD worth owning is not the OGWT documentary, but the extras. These include five complete pro-shot performances from the ?85 tour. Both the main feature and the extras come from a 2nd/3rd generation source and the quality suffers accordingly
