This is at the time when BA was just about to hit number one with both the single Heaven and the album on the US Billboard charts. One of the only times to hear Jim Vallance talk about the music. Find out who came up with the idea of Summer of '69 and how the title came about.

Content: Part 1: The yet to be controversial Howard Stern is in London for a week broadcasting to his New York listeners. BA brings stops by to take callers from his New York fans. Howard asks to sing the Tina Turner part for It's Only Love.

Part 2: One of the funniest interviews BA has gotten involved with. Outside of some informal acoustic songs with Keith, BA finds himself challenged to sing while getting a "Four Pack Attack" from the two strippers that are in the studio. This is also available on video. A priceless piece of humour for any BA fan. The "King of all Media" (who is a BA fan) asks all the questions no-one else would think of. Raunchy, but funny to hear BA squirm out of situations.

Content: Part 1: Live from Little Mountain Recording Studios in Vancouver, BC, this US tour special features BA taking questions from American fans in the studio. Also, the band plugged in and "wakes up the states" with three songs from their hugely popular Waking Up the Neighbours album. Perhaps the peak of success that BA ever had in the US market. Lots of talk of the "lost" album from 1989 and the development of the Neighbours album.

Part 2: The Jackie Brambles afternoon show in London has BA and the band in the BBC studios to perform five live songs and answer some questions from the small audience of BA fans. Basketball star Shaq O'Neill stops by to ask BA a question and inspire a jam. Excellent live tracks including one of the band's first performances of Please Forgive Me

Part 2: While in LA for promoting the release of So Far So Good, BA goes into the studio of radio legend Rick Dees to say hello. He takes calls from fans to talk about the greatest hits album, the new song "All For Love" and he even drops his pants to show his butt! One of the funnier radio he's done.

Part 3: Back in Australia for the So Far So Good tour, BA talks about the hugely successful SFSG album. Some good insight into the songs that were selected and at least one song that was left off at the last moment.

Part 4: A week before the release of 18 Til I Die, Canadian fans were treated to an excellent special where BA speaks about each of the 13 tracks on the 18 Til I Die album. You won't find more information about the songs than on this gem of a special.

Part 2: An excellent morning show special the day after BA and band performed on the Tonight Show. Only 30 fans get into the "Mark and Brian Amphitheatre" for this show. Fans ask BA questions about his unplugged album and his songs. BA takes requests from the carefully selected audience and plays them with Keith on acoustic guitar. A funny special with some solid acoustic performances of his songs.
