Google as this 72 minute documentary is also available on DVD.
It is a fascinating insight into how they created the 'Bridge...' album.

SILLY, Silly Brits.

Don 't they know the genie has fled the useless bottle.

The wonderful, insightful show is available on all continents and dozens of places.

It can also be accessed using a Uk proxy on the Bbc pages.

Sincerely,
Gargoyle

It is certainly worth viewing

It came across to me as a very studio manufactured album.

S & G were/are more than a bit special both musically and politically.

You hear music - it either does something for you or it doesn't.

The album Gracelands does much more for me.

I watched the stuff that was on with great anticpation. I found I had less affection for the duo by the end of things. I don't mean that in any nasty way, I promise! Just that I have come across so many down to earth, ordinary and super talented people around what is roughly called the folk scene, real warm hearted types with lots of character who don't seem to know how good they are. I was just left a bit more cold somehow by these documentaries. Some very good music but I find my connection to it feels a bit diminshed. Not sure any of this makes any sense to anyone else, but there you go! I can be a bit allergic to big names and big tours....and especially big production of any kind. Just subjective of course.
