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