The Bottom Line:
Voiceprint rerelease of hard to get German TV appearance. Same as the laserdisc.
Excellent recording during the Piece By Piece tour. The DVD title is derived from the Lookin' On lyrics.
The 45 minute show was originally made for and broadcasted by German television, Südwestfunk, in the Ohne Filter series ('Musik Pur'). Line-up: Foster Paterson, Arran Ahmun (with hair), Alan Thomson. The analogue video signal provides a bit of a soft image but on the whole the quality is very enjoyable. The German audience is a bit too polite for the music. Alan Thomson plays awesome and Arran Ahmun has to compete with several computers. John is wearing a special Ohne Filter T-shirt and no suit.
The first 1.000 copies went accompanied by a bonus audio CD of the concert.
John Hillarby wrote sleevenotes for this region-free DVD.
