The Old Grey Whistle Test: Vol. 2
BBC's "The Old Grey Whistle Test" was the UK's seminal live music show. For over 15 years from 1971-1987, it was essential viewing for fans of album rock and "serious music". It was the only place on British television for live avant-garde, progressive and jazz rock performances and the ideal venue for American artists looking to break into the UK. Volume 2 includes Roxy Music's first ever television appearance, an unscheduled performance by The Adverts (the first punk band to play live on Whistle Test), as well as a rare acoustic rendition of "Disney Girls" by Beach Boy Bruce Johnston along with performances by The Who, Meatloaf, New York Dolls, Tim Buckley, Suzanne Vega, Jim Croce, Joan Armatrading, Siouxsie and the Banshees, OMD, The Style Council, and many more.
