Broadcast most ITV regions Sunday 31st October 1982, 11:35pm-12:35pm. Billed in the Mirror as a "Halloween Night Special", Times says it's "a mystical electronic thriller with an array of talent including David Bowie, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, 10CC, Alice Cooper and Jimi Hendrix."
Google returns nothing for me.

The excellent TV Pop Diaries has this listed for that date. Sunday 31st October 1982 LWT The South Bank Show 10:35 - 11:35 pm Peter Gabriel special TVS Spirits Of Rock N Roll Promo and live clips from Grace Slick, Holly Michaels, 10cc, The Doors, Alice Cooper, The Kinks, David Bowie, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones So it was archive - or mostly archive material. I wish I'd seen it, this being literally two months after a switch had been flicked in my head by BBC2's "rock week" over the August bank holiday (The British TV premiere of "Tommy" on 29th August and the 4th screening of "Yellow Submarine" on 3rd September). Up to that point I was totally absorbed in all things contemporary, but within 18 months I'd completely shut myself off from 1980s music and was discovering everything I'd missed. It wasn't easy around that time, my initial education - visuals wise - came from the abysmal USA series "The Roots of Rock n Roll" which had the odd gem amongst excruciating performances by middle of the road acts recreating past glories juxtaposed with 30 second clips of Jimi Hendrix and The Doors. |

I'm fairly sure I saw this, I might even have recorded it, I'll check the tapes when I'm next up in the loft, assuming that anyone actually wants it - if I recall it was all the usual promo videos and the odd live clip
