This is a 1st gen VCR recording of a 50-minute documentary titled "From Here To New Jersey" ('Härifrån till New Jersey' in Swedish), broadcast by TV4 in 1995 (at the time of the Sony Studios reunion gig). The journalist Anders S Nilsson visits New Jersey & New York to trace the roots of Bruce's current career whereabouts. 

The occasional 'voiceover' is obviously in Swedish, but the main interest for non-swedish-speaking people is a quite good interview with Bruce made in some New York studio (1995), which actually is the bulk of this program. Also included are a couple of backstage interview clips from Stockholm in 1992 (Globe Arena - soundcheck before the Tour premiere + a live clip) and in 1993 (Stockholm Stadion).

Interspersed between the interview parts are some familiar live clips (Sony Studios '95, complete songs) and promo videos (excerpts). Interesting to see that the producers had access to two short clips from Largo (Landover) '78 in excellent quality, which means there probably exist a master of this somewhere which is better than the one currently circulating...

There's also some location footage of various Bruce-related places in Freehold and Asbury Park (which poor Mr Nilsson often pronounces as "Ashbury Park" !), including a fun chat with Bruce's former neighbor, an old lady that still lives there.
