The Fréjus concert was filmed by Robin Nash for the BBC and released on home video formats in 1983 under the title The High Road, with songs in a different sequence.[3] However, the four-song "mini-LP" The High Road, also released in 1983, consists of audio recordings from a different night of the tour, in Glasgow, Scotland on 30 October 1982.[4] The mini-LP is now out of print, effectively replaced by Heart Still Beating, which edits together both concerts.
