- The first part of the DVD is taken from the German TV channel ZDF from 1974. This footage has been making the rounds as a 3rd generation VHS copy on eBay for years. I have one. I'm burning it tomorrow. The video and audio quality of this new version are top-notch and belie the age of the recording. The ZDF show is from the band's The Power and the Glory tour and showcases 50 minutes of brilliance. Various camera angles and close-ups give you every aspect of the band in a live setting, from each member's mastery of their instrument to each member's ability to pick up another instrument without missing a beat. Here are five musicians who collectively play keyboards, bass, electric and acoustic guitars, percussion, vibes, cello, violin, recorder, trumpet and sax... sometimes all in the same song. A classic performance which displays this band's incredible talent and composition. The next 30 minute segment is from 1975 during their US tour and features some of the same tunes with their typical live variations. Not as polished a performance (they have to restart once due to bad tuning) but still exhilarating. Then we're treated to a 3 minute segment salvaged from more German TV from 1974 followed by a 22 minute Italian TV feature in black and white which includes both an interview and live footage from the 1972 Octopus tour. Acquisition of this footage delayed the DVD's release by about a year, but it's worth it just to see these guys in an informal setting, sunglasses, big hair and all. The last part features 36 photos from guitarist Gary Green's private collection. I've seen some of Gary's photo albums, and he's a fine photographer. Frankly, I might have picked some other photos, but these are all good, mostly in a candid way. Pic #36 (Kerry at a piano with headphones) is my fave, but I'm a fanboy. My only complaint is that there's no music background. All in all, well worth waiting for. Having seen the band several times during their prime, watching this DVD was like reuniting with an old friend. For those that never had the opportunity, this is as close as you'll ever get to seeing one of the finest rock ensembles ever.
- Nick goes on a date with Sylvia, a beautiful fashion model. Nick falls head over heels for her. Nick asks Brian to intervene when he learns that his father knew Sylvia. On Nick's second date, Sylvia doesn't show up and she is found murdered the next day. Brian and Nick then team up to find the culprit. The track seems to lead to her ex-husband, Charlie, who is a known drug dealer.
- Brian Devlin, a former US military officer who now works as a freelance private detective, learns that he has a son he never knew about. Feeling remorse, Brian sets out to locate him. He meets the young man, named Nick Corsello, and helps him to begin his job as a private eye by offering him a job working for his PI firm. Although a little reluctant at first to work with his long-lost father, Nick comes to respect the veteran investigator and accepts to work together. However, Brian Devlin searches for his son Nick who soon goes missing for days. He finds him in his beach house. There he has been hiding along with an old man called Norman.
- Nick is hired by Allison Odell, the secretary of a construction company commissioned to find a man by whom she is constantly threatened and bothered. Nick feels this man, a junkie who lives in a caravan settlement, is pressing Allison for some reason. Then Nick is attacked and pummeled down by two racketeers for no reason at all. Brian then takes over the case to investigate with a now personal grudge against all those involved in Nick's attack.
- Nick investigates the whereabouts of an ingenious gang of thieves. Brian is also involved in the case working his own leads. Nick is glad to provide protection for a lady named Claudine who claims to have connections to the gang. But things go awry when the lady is in fact a female impersonator. Nick must face a dilemma: "Claudine" is a jewel thief who may help Nick catch the gang.
- Brian receives a letter from Europe: two of his former CIA buddies were killed. Previously they have received a message that reads "Martha doesn't forget." Erica Jordan, the daughter of a German who died in the 1950s after a top-secret operation is resolved to avenge the death of Martha, her mother. She is the one who murdered the two former CIA agents. The third on the list is Brian Devlin. Erica, impersonating an attractive reporter, shows up in Devlin's office. Yet he has just gone away, and Nick gets interested. Before long Nick is in love with Erica. He does not anticipate that Erica wants to avenge the death of her mother at ANY price.
