A good compilation. The sound quality is surpisingly good

Highlights for me:
Carly Simon You're So Vain 1976 (She was hot)
Elvis Costello Less Than Zero / Radio Radio 1977 (nerd)
The Band The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down 1976
Talking Heads Take Me To The River 1979
Spinal Tap Big Bottom 1984
The Bangles Hazy Shade of Winter 1988 (They were hot)

Paul Simon Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes 1986 (With male choir.
brilliant!)

Neil Young Rockin' in the Free World 1989 (The price of the DVD set is
worth it for this performance alone. I've never seen the power of a
band caught on camera like this before!)

Fine Young Cannibals She Drives Me Crazy 1989
R.E.M. Losing My Religion 1991
Eric Clapton Wonderful Tonight 1990
Nirvana Rape Me 1993
Paul McCartney Hey Jude 1993
Alanis Morissette Hand In My Pocket 1995
Garbage Special 1999 (!!!)
Beck Where It's At 1997

Plus lots more...including a pile of classic comedy sketches.
