Groundbreaking and visionary, this is archival documentation of Kate Bush’s one and only tour. Originally known as the “Kate Bush Tour” as well as the “Lionheart Tour”, it later became known under the moniker “The Tour of Life”. The only official video release from the '79 tour was an abridged 12-song set titled “Live at Hammersmith Odeon” in 1981. In 1994, "Live at Hammersmith Odeon" was released as a VHS box set that contained a CD of the performance. This footage presents the tour performance from beginning to end and consists of all three acts as well as encores and backstage warm-ups. The audio is from the soundboard recording of the concert.

Raising Hell est une video musicale du groupe de heavy metal britannique Iron Maiden publiée en 1994. Il s'agit en effet du dernier concert de la tournée Real Live Tour, le 28 août 1993 au Pinewood Studios, et surtout le dernier avec le chanteur Bruce Dickinson (avant que ce dernier ne réintègre le groupe en 1999). Ce concert a été également diffusé en direct à la télévision. Le groupe joue avec la collaboration du magicien et illusionniste d'horreur Simon Drake, qui conclut le show en tuant symboliquement Dickinson dans une vierge de fer, l'instrument de torture qui a donné son nom au groupe.

The Secret Cabaret was a magic-based television programme that ran for two series, of six episodes each, on Channel 4 in the UK during the early 1990s. It was conceived and fronted by British magician Simon Drake and was praised for giving a new and shocking twist to the presentation of illusions. In addition to various magicians the show featured sideshow acts and presentations by experts on fraud and confidence tricks, all interspersed with vintage archive footage of freak shows and daredevil stunts. It was nominated for a Royal Television Society Award.
