I have a DVD of that shown and saw a version of it at the National in 1986 that left an indelible impression on me, which is why I have the DVD now. There are also romance reasons it had an impact upon me. I also have a lot of Scott Walker's versions and the MOMUS and Marc Almond stuff as well as developing a collection of the man's works in French now that I live here in that there France. Legend.
Cheers Andrew. Just love Jacques Brel ! I've never quite got the translated stuff myself but Brel is just a remarkable one off artist. No one quite like him.
