Haven't spun this in 20+ years, really enjoying it but it's a commitment - 4.5 hours! I love what sounds like non-performers reading their lines. "You're walking, and you're falling"

Anyone here see the original production? I was under the impression it had been filmed, but possibly more for preservation than anything else and that the film has never been made available to the public.

it was! Home of the Brave, on VHS, is from the United States tour

There's discussion upthread including a confirmation from Anderson herself that USA Live was not filmed.
