Additional comments Video featuring the legendary last concert of the Brothers in arms 1985/1986 world tour including the great calypso version of So far away! Complete show including very interesting interviews held before and after the show. Also some special moments when the band is donating $ 50.000 for the anti-drug campaign that was running in Australia, the audience singing Waltzing Mathilda for the band who plays along and of course the speech of Mark thanking the band, crew and management. Nowadays, the band gets away from the venue using luxury cars with a driver. After this show however, it was Mark himself who drove away in a Porsche 911 cabriolet which you can see at the end of the concert. Nice exclusive footage! Picture and sound quality are both very good, taken from the master reel tape of the original broadcaster. It had some cuts and tape damages that were corrected with the DVD images and sound. This is the best sound ever released of this concert, and the best image. Sadly the digital transfer from the original reel tape, was made with low bitrate, which caused some artifacts in the image.Upgraded with special AI (Artificial Intelligence) software which results in sharper video quality.
