Might it be the 25th Annniversary TV special which was filmed in Hawaii? It's been bootlegged extensively.

And Ray doing Sail On Sailor is really the only good thing on it.

I kinda like the Evrly Brothers-part, too. Unfortunately there's not very much live singing by the BBs.

The show was taped mid-December 1986, and broadcast mid-March 1987. Much work was done in the interim, especially on "The Spirit Of Rock & Roll".  8)

This show is worth the price just to see the terrible wigs worn by both Everly Brothers....(jeeeez, someone shoulda said sumthin to them)

Highlights also include Bruce singing the first part of Disney Girls, a Carl performance of Heaven from his solo album dedicated to brother Dennis, Al performing California Dreamin' and Brian's debut of  Spirit of Rock n Roll (just recently released for the first time on the 'Songs From Here and Back' Hallmark CD) sung with an energy and vigor not seen in Brian for some time at that point...

Not their best and some of the vocals are overdubbed but good to see the band functional again....
