[DVD Version]

Melbourne, August 1984.

In some deep beer hall deep in the metropolis…
They proclaimed their faith in the healing power of rock ‘n’ roll
… and pounded it into the sweat sodden floor…

Red raw rock music from the Hunters and Collectors murky archive, filmed live over two nights.

In these guilty times, when SOUL seems crushed by shame,
You must have witnessed the deadest gigs in history…
But please do not DESPAIR, even if your GURUS have all BAILED OUT!
Behold, the road crew remains, armed with rivet guns and leather mittens,
& by GOD they’ve bashed the bloody thing back together!
