It's a bootleg containing moderately good quality copies of the "Live
at Hammersmith Odeon" video soundtrack, the German-TV "Kate!" special and
an unidentified concert (paris, I believe).

DO NOT PAY $60 FOR THIS RECORD.

I bought it at Second Coming Records in Cambridge, a place I absolutely
revile as the most overpriced store in the universe after the chains.
It was only $21.  It may just be worth $21, but no way in hell is it
worth $60.  Unless you are absolutely desparate for some poorly mastered
bootlegs, that is.  If you're feeling frisky, rent a HiFi VCR, a copy
of the Hammersmith Odeon tape, and tape it on a decent home tape deck
(use a chrome tape, of course!)... This will probably cost less than $10,
and is definitely the better buy.

Or rent a laserdisk player and the laserdisk of it, assuming you can
find a place with both of those items...

Avoid the bootleg unless you can find it for a reasonable price and
really like scratchy hissy stuff.
