I think he says it is the same arrangement, not the performance.

The intro is the same but it plays slower and there is a long vocal solo performed by one of the back up singers plus a guitar solo. Not the same at all.

Laserdisc if I recall.  I was once tempted by the format just as BD was being announced and searched available titles.

Is BIA only officially released on VHS or also on CD?
I remember this was also on CD but might be wrong.
Has anyone a good audio RIP from the Official version?

I am also very interested in the BIA version where EC Rythm Guitar is a bit louder in the mix
I recall different versions on TV. I do prefer the one with the louder EC Guitar.
can anyone Help here and PM me?

the version with EC louder in the mix is the "Solid rock" sliver pressed bootleg :

Mark's guitar is a little bit burried in this mix

I do prefer the TV mix, more balanced imho (the sax is barely audible though)
