The video is an intimate visual record of Reed's sold out performance at The Bottom Line in New York City in 1983. For Reed, whose career began in Greenwich Village when he founded The Velvet Underground, this was a homecoming concert.

However, five numbers are missing: "Betrayed", "Sally Can't Dance", "Some Kinda Love/Sister Ray" and "Heroin". The video replaces them with "Don't Talk to Me about Work", "Women", "Turn Out the Light" and "New Age" from Legendary Hearts, The Blue Mask and The Velvet Underground's Loaded, respectively.

The 2000 DVD release is missing Reed's between-song repartie (for example his quoting of the "feeling lucky punk" speech from the Dirty Harry movies), while the version broadcast on British TV released in 1988, and the 1984 RCA/Columbia Pictures VHS release, did include these.

gollark: I assume your alts within it have already found out about this.
gollark: Esoserver currently operates a #suggestions channel into which, presumably, suggestions go and are discussed a bit. This seems to work okay without enforcing a particular style of discussion, although most bulk metadiscussion just goes in <#348702212110680064>. We haven't really had any large-scale debates happening, so who knows.
gollark: Which is still more annoying for the writer. So I'm not sure why you would expect people to interpret it as an amazing gift.
gollark: People have different preferences on communication.
