The Show:
In 1983, Bryan made his first major tour of Europe to expose his music to different countries. This is his first ever performance in Germany...a country that has been very loyal to BA's career.

To see Bryan perform at this time is worlds away from where he is today. His is a rowdy, cocky, jumpy, fist pumping kid who seems unsure of his stage moves. This show is great for a collector who wants to see the start of his growth as a live performer.

The Songs:
Fairly standard for the 1983 tour as he supports the Cuts Like A Knife album. This show caputures the only live video recordings of old songs such as Win Some Lose Some and Hiding From Love. Both songs are dropped permanently after the 1983 tour. The end of the show has a surprise of two extremely rare old songs called Baby Wears Black and Jump which was written by Bryan and recorded by Loverboy in 1983.

The Recording:
Pro shot for Germany television. Some audio/video syncing issues due to the transfer from video to DVD.
