Description:
This show was partially broadcast on East German television and radio. It is not the full concert. There were 10 songs apparently not broadcasted. Of the versions that are circulating on DVD, this version is also missing 2 additional songs (Out in the Street and Boom Boom) that can be found on the 2 disc versions. There is a graphic at the beginning of each song with the name of the song. The concert is a very nice pro-shot film and this is a very good quality version. The filming has a lot of crowd shots and close ups of people in the audience - probably half the footage is of the audience! The parts that are of the band concentrate on Bruce so there ends up being little time left for the rest of the band. Paradise By The C and I'm a Coward are very spirited versions and Can't Help Falling in Love With You is a sentimental favorite with the audience waving sparklers. This is the middle quality of the 3 versions.

Review: 
This is an interesting one. The footage itself is superb, but I believe that the television station were only allowed to film the band a certain percentage of the time. The result is half a song will be focused on the band, the rest is taken up watching pictures of the crowd, which is mildly entertaining but enormously frustrating at the same time. It gets better as the show goes on, but it's still annoying. Wonderful picture quality. interview beetween the show (05/06)
