the old grey whistle test - opiated - 09-28-2005

what an amazing DVD....great clips from an old BBC show including Elton John, Lennon, Springsteen, Talking Heads, U2, REM, Captain Beefheart, Skynard, Alice Cooper, Ramones, Blondie, Tom Petty...and tons more..the performances are amazing, it covers the years 71-82 i think, so it's very early footage of U2 and REM...get this DVD!!!!

***editjust found out there's 3 DVD's to choose from...i only have volume one, and it's also got great interview with the stones, robert plant, springsteen and more***

I've had Vol 1 for about a year. I didn't know there was 3!!!
Unbelievable footage. XTC, wow. TOM WAITS, double wow.
The interviews are amazing as well.

I don't know if you own any, but the Jools Holland "Later" collection is sweet. i own all of them. Must have's.
