Notes from BruceDVDs.net:
Bruce shot his promo video for the 1995 re-release of "Hungry Heart" at Cafe Eckstein in Berlin with Wolfgang Niedecken and his band. This excellent pro-shot footage features the entire performance in front of a small crowd inside the cafe with a much larger crowd outside. The unique occassion and the song selection of some great rock standards make this a very enjoyable DVD.
A 15 minute "Making Of" documentary is also included, featuring footage of Bruce in and around Berlin at the time of the video shoot.
This upgraded version uses a master copy of the "Making Of" promo tape and a 1st generation copy of the concert as its sources. There is a noticeable improvement in picture quality when compared to the original, although it is still not perfect by any means. There is a "Super Six" logo in the bottom left corner of the screen throughout the shot, but any distraction this causes is more than compensated by the cleaner image.
The DVD even borrows the original menu, although the text "Version 2.0" has been added. Collectors should take the time to seek out "Version 2.0" if they are adding "Cafe Eckstein" to their library for the first time. It is also a worthwhile upgrade for those who already have a copy of the first issue.
