Title:  The Pros And Cons of Hitchhiking

Overall Rating: C

Cover: Excellent quality, full color.  Many cool pictures of
Roger, REG, and other P&C graphics (including, of course, a full
color close-up of the naked buttocks)

Track Listing:

MTV Interviews and clips.  Most of these clips were used in a MTV
special about the P&C of Hitchhiking (broadcast July 16, 1984). 
Some, however, are exclusive to this video tape.  This portion is
2.5 minutes long.

Concert footage:  The venue is unclear.  There is an audience,
but it is rather small and not very dense.  Either the turn out
for the gig was terrible or the show was just for the roadies. 
Either way, it was definitely indoors.  All of the concert
footage has timing numbers along the bottom of the screen.  The
quality is varied.  Mostly, it is very dark and fuzzy.  However,
there are the occasional fantastic shots of Roger or Eric
Clapton.

  4:33am (Running Shoes) - This contains the Extra Verse that has
   also appeared on a few RoIO CDs.

   first half of this song is included.

   Me!)

  5:01am (The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking Part 10) - Starts
   halfway through and only lasts a few seconds.


French TV Clip - Although the exact location of the interview and
date on which it took place are unclear, it has almost certainly
been taken from French TV, as the interview is subtitled in
French.  The picture is horribly bleached and suffers from an
annoying flicker.  The audio is muffled and difficult to
understand.  This lasts for 2.5 minutes.

More MTV clippings.  These are more interviews and things filmed
for the July 16, 1984 MTV special.  Just as above, some of these
items appeared in the MTV special and others are exclusive to
this tape.  This portion lasts for 5 minutes.

Nina Blackwood Interview - Filmed on June 21, 1984, this
interview was meant for inclusion in the MTV special.  However,
Roger refused to discuss certain matters (The Floyd's spats and
break-up).  Apparently, Roger made enough of an impression on
Nina that none of this interview ended up in the special.  Also,
MTV never broadcast any of the videos filmed for Pros & Cons. 
This footage has never appeared anywhere else (to my knowledge). 
It is 22.5 minutes long and is of horrible quality.  It is at
least 5 or 6 generations from the original tape.

5:01am (Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking Part 10) - The Video.  It's
remarkably bad.  I was genuinely stunned that such a lame piece
of crap could have passed Roger's inspection.  It's little wonder
that MTV didn't broadcast it.  However, for those of you who must
see it to believe it, it's here in only reasonably poor quality
for your edification.

Across The Universe - Roger's part of the John Lennon tribute. 
Actually, I wish Roger had just lip synched to John's version
which was VASTLY superior.  The "tribute" was first broadcast on
December 6, 1985.

Origin: I purchased this tape from Hip Cat for a mere $35.  When
I first played it, I was stunned that they could ask for (and
receive) that amount of $$ for such a lousy quality tape. 
However, I must admit that I have never seen any of the material
on this tape elsewhere.  I therefore consider myself lucky to
have it at all.

Misc: I understand that there is an "improved" version of this
tape available now which includes a few clips from Amused To
Death and additional P&C videos.  Although I do not own the
updated tape, I would be very interested in hearing from anyone
that does.
