Home video release of a US tribute TV special on the legendary CBS talent scout who signed Springsteen to the company; featuring short live excerpts from the unreleased early tunes "If I Was The Priest" and "Henry Boy" (circa 1972), some footage of Bruce in conversation with his mentor, and an otherwise unavailable audio-only track of Bruce performing Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" (at the October 22, 1987 memorial service for Hammond in New York City) laid over the closing credits.
