pwalpwal 2,619 Posted May 21 16 hours ago, craigb said: My favorite story (who cares if it's actually true, ya?): Right in the middle of a concert in Ireland, Bono stops the music and starts clapping his hands slowly. "Every time I clap my hands, a child dies in Africa!" he tells the crowd. Then, someone near the front can be heard yelling back "Then fooking stop it!!!" 🤣 mine is when bono wrote to captain beefheart suggesting a collaboration of some kind, the captain replied "dear bongo, no" haha 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rain 81 Posted May 28 (edited) I have queued a lot of those recommendations on Prime, so thanks again folks. This morning I was watching End of the Century (The Ramones). Apparently, Johnny and I like the same movies... Now I need to find THAT version of the Dracula's Daughter poster. Edited May 28 by Rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shane_B. 703 Posted May 28 Once Were Brothers is about The Band by Robbie Robertson. I learned a ton about them I never knew. Some I wish I didn't know. I always thought Robbie was an ahole. Turns out he wasn't the problem. There is an old one that is entertaining about rock in general called The Decline Of Western Civilization iirc. It has Gene Simmons and mamy others in it. The one about The Wrecking Crew is great too. It used to be free on youtube. Sorry no links. Only have access on my cell. As for The Who Im the same way. I don't get what people see in them. Flight 666 that Steve suggested absolutely blew my mind. I loved it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 1,005 Posted May 28 I second The Kids are Alright. Great music and you get to know the members of Who, especially Keith Moon the comedian. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bapu 4,868 Posted May 29 (edited) Since I'm 69 going on 70 I grew up absorbing all the bands from the British Invasion. I already liked The Who and Tommy was such a pivotal album from them to me. In 1969-70 (unsure exactly) I got to see The Who at Anaheim Stadium. Daltry says "We're gonna do a song from Tommy" and they proceed to do the entire album. It's not a concert video or rockumentary but I can still replay it in my head. Edited May 29 by Bapu 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bapu 4,868 Posted May 29 Urban legend? Maybe. Zak asks dad Ringo to teach him drums and dad sets up lessons from Keith. Zak now performs in the The Who (since 1996). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grem 3,347 Posted May 31 I forget the name of the documentary, but it was about where rock and roll really started. Lady named Sister Rosetta Tharpe. When you watch this and see the films of her playing style, you can hear all the licks we still play today!! Really good documentary. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wibbles 3,682 Posted June 5 I've been watching "The Story of Top of the Pops" in the 1990s on the BBC over the last few weeks. It does a good job of highlighting the diversity of music in the UK charts. All episodes are available here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00704hg/episodes/player?page=1 on the BBC iPlayer.

As are now many you guys have suggested and which I managed to find. For some reason, The Filth and the Fury seems to be unavailable on streaming services here. It is on YouTube though...

craigb 4,912 Posted June 12 I'd watch some of the shows, but I'm too busy doing hallucinogens and listening to Jean-Michel Jarre and watching 4k trippy screen-savers. (Or is that just me? 🤔) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(Or is that just me? 🤔) Belive it or not, I am not too familiar with his work. I am however a HUGE fan of his father's soundtrack for Jesus of Nazareth, which they had us watch in school every year for Easter. Some haunting pieces of music in there.
