Synopsis:
The Old Grey Whistle Test was the UKs seminal live music show. Launched in September 1971, it hosted performances from the most legendary bands and performers - including Elton John, Bob Marley, Lou Reed, Rory Gallagher, Alice Cooper, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield, The Police, The Damned and The Ramones - during its seventeen-year run.

Now, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the first show, over 40 rarely seen performances are brought together in a four-hour film complete with memories of the show`s former presenters: Richard Williams, Bob Harris, Annie Nightingale, David Hepworth, Mark Allen and Andy Kershaw.

Also included are six major interviews: Bob Harris with John Lennon, Keith Richards, Bruce Springsteen and Robert Plant; Richard Williams with Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Mick Jagger.
