Shot in 1984, the film offers an intimate glimpse into their live performances, intertwined with documentary-style storytelling. The atmosphere is electric as the band delves into their catalog, showcasing hits like 'When the Lady Smiles'—a track that stirred controversy back then due to its video. There's a raw, unfiltered energy in the performances, which feels very much of its time. The pacing flows well, with the music at the forefront while also touching on behind-the-scenes elements. For collectors, the inclusion of the original video and historical context enriches its charm; it’s more than just a concert film, it’s a time capsule of an era.

This film was released on various formats, but the DVD edition is particularly sought after due to its unique extras, including the original controversial music video.
