| Plot |
| BBC's THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST was the UK's seminal live music show. For over 15 years from 1971-1987, it was essential viewing for fans of album rock and "serious" music. It was the only place on British television for live avant-garde, progressive and jazz rock performances and the ideal venue for American artists looking to break in the UK. If you removed the comedy from Saturday Night Live and featured only the music acts, you'd have the Old Grey Whistle Test.THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST VOLUME TWO includes Roxy Music's first ever television appearance, an unscheduled performance by the Adverts (the first punk band to play live on Whistle Test), as well as a rare acoustic rendition of "Disney Girls" by Beach Boy Bruce Johnston and unforgettable performances by rock legends The Who, Meatloaf, New York Dolls, Tim Buckley, Suzanne Vega, Jim Croce and many more!THE OLD GREY WHISTLE TEST is a showcase for the best of the album rock era, when commercial interests took a back seat to musical innovation. It's a must-own for the collectors of music on DVD. |
