George Harrison - My Sweet Lord - Live - Concert For Bangladesh [1971] The Concert for Bangladesh [held August 1 1971] was the first benefit concert of its kind in that it brought together an extraordinary assemblage of major artists collaborating for a common humanitarian cause – setting the precedent that music could be used to serve a higher cause. The concert sold out Madison Square Garden and along with the Grammy ® Award-winning triple-album boxset, and the feature film, has generated millions of dollars for UNICEF and raised awareness for the organization around the world, as well as among other musicians and their fans. It is therefore acknowledged as the inspiration and forerunner to the major global fundraising events of recent years. To quote the United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan, "George and his friends were pioneers."

The legendary rock group, The Doors, were at their musical peak when this concert footage was taken. Filmed live at the Hollywood Bowl on july 5, summer of 1968. Jim Morrison and the band perform an extended version of 'Light My Fire', plus ten of their other most loved songs, taking a standing room only audience on an aural journey of mystical worlds and psychedelic experiences.

The first JTV live special was recorded in Studio 22 - Sydney band Wolfmother performing live to air for 'Live at the Wireless'. The program is introduced by Robbie Buck and Brian Taranto leads us into the world of Wolfmother.

The Pink Floyd album 'Dark Side of the Moon' dubbed over the film 'The Wizard of Oz' with original voice track. The album plays two and half times to the duration of the movie. Several years ago a rumor began to circulate about a strange connection between Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon (1973) and the MGM classic film The Wizard of Oz (1939). If you properly synchronize the film and the album, as the rumor goes, a number of coincidental events occur. So many, in fact, that a large audience is convinced that Pink Floyd intentionally created Dark Side of the Moon as an alternative soundtrack to the film. Just to cite a few examples, side one of the LP is the same length as the first black-and-white segment of the movie; "The Great Gig in the Sky" begins as the tornado approaches Dorothy's farm, builds as the storm worsens, and slows when Dorothy is knocked unconscious; "Brain Damage" plays as the Scarecrow sings "If I Only Had a Brain"; and the album concludes with the sound of a heartbeat as Dorothy puts her hand on the Tin Woodsman's chest. Fans have found many more coincidental events and I have included a fairly complete list on this website. Over time this rumor has taken on a life of its own and inspired many people to try to find other "synchronicities" between films and albums. The origins of this rumor are obscure, but a few websites had appeared and discussion groups had been exchanging information about the connection between Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz a number of years before the mainstream press reported the story in 1997. WZLX-FM in Boston and WNEW-FM in New York received overwhelming responses from listeners when they reported this rumor on the air in the spring of 1997. [1] George Taylor Morris, the disk jockey for WZLX, said, "I just mentioned it, just briefly on the air." [2] That was all it took, though, as the rumor spread rapidly after that. Within a few weeks, several major newspapers and television news programs, as well as MTV, ran stories about the rumored connection between the album and the film. The Internet has been instrumental in spreading this rumor. Several websites have come online that include theories about Pink Floyd's intentions and lists of coincidental events between the film and the album. The record company, EMI-Capitol Entertainment Properties, has made no effort to counter the rumor. In the weeks following the mainstream newsmedia reports, EMI-Capitol reported that they were having trouble keeping up with demand for copies of Dark Side of the Moon, as sales had doubled. Bruce Kirkland, chief of EMI-Capitol, said, "It's happening at an organic, grass-roots level, but we're into fueling it.... Why Not? It's not harmful, it's not exploitative, and nobody died. It's just fun. Yeah, let's get into it." [3] Members of the band, however, have denied that they made Dark Side of the Moon to be an alternate soundtrack for The Wizard of Oz. Richard Wright "swore on his family" that the band had not intended to do anything of the sort. [4] When asked about the coincidental events between the album and the movie, Nick Mason stated, "I haven't [watched The Wizard of Oz synchronized with Dark Side of the Moon]. But I hope someone else will do it when I'm there. I can never quite be bothered to do it. I can assure you we never worked with the film when we were working on the track. That would be so convoluted a way of making a record." [5] Alan Parsons, who was the engineer on Dark Side of the Moon, said that no one in the band had discussed The Wizard of Oz while they were making the album. In the recent past, a number of theaters have had special showings of The Wizard of Oz synchronized with Dark Side of the Moon. Some theaters, such as the Rosebud Cinema Drafthouse in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, have shown this as a midnight movie. [6] A retrospective of film adaptations of L. Frank Baum's Oz books by the Ryder Film Series at Indiana University included a showing of The Wizard of Oz synchronized with Dark Side of the Moon in July, 2000. [7] The Blinding Light Cinema in Vancouver showed "Dark Side of the Rainbow" in February, 2001. [8] After being damaged by fire, the Neon in Dayton, Ohio, reopened with a special showing of The Wizard of Oz synchronized with Dark Side of the Moon in February, 2001. [9] The most elaborate production occurred, appropriately enough, in Kansas at the Topeka Performing Arts Center in August, 2000—a laser show with admission costing $17. [10] The rumor about the connection between the movie and the film has also changed how we see The Wizard of Oz on television. On July 3, 2000, Turner Classic Movies aired the classic film without commercial interruptions—the first time that it had been broadcast in this way. Then, later in the evening, TCM again showed The Wizard of Oz, but this time they offered Dark Side of the Moon on the Second Audio Program.

Live '77 is a DVD released by AC/DC in January 2003 in Japan, recorded live in The Golders Green Hippodrome, London and containing tracks recorded by the band, high-energy Rock'n'Roll, with the incomparable Bon Scott behind the mic. Track list: 'Let There Be Rock' 'Problem Child' 'Hell Ain't A Bad Place To Be' 'Whole Lotta Rosie' 'Bad Boy Boogie' 'Rocker' 'TNT' Considering the vintage of this recording, the video is very clean - with a minimal amount of glitches [mostly derived from light refraction]. An awesome show, that goes WAY beyond classic. Highly Recommended.

Hilarious discussion on CNN 'Crossfire' back in 1986 about censorship. Prince's 'Dirty Mind' had hit the charts and Frank Zappa was on hand to defend the diminutive rocker's Constitutional right to praise incest in 'Sister'. It's only words, Zappa said repeatedly in response to Robert Novak's goading. When pressed however, Zappa admitted that,"the biggest threat to America" lay in the Reagan administration's attempt to remake the country as "a fascist theocracy". The show's hosts chortled as Zappa explained, "When you have a government that prefers a certain moral code derived from a certain religion and that moral code turns into legislation to suit one certain religious point of view and if that code happens to be very, very right wing, almost toward Attila the Hun..." — at which point he was summarily cut off. Watch as Frank runs rings around the various pundits ...

Rock Bitch are a group of female musician who live in a sex commune. The girls see themselves as striking a blow for women everywhere, and they are doing it through the medium of rock music-in the nude. The band was formed 11 years ago in a converted monastery in France where there is a free love outlook on physical interaction. The girls in the band are ex-students, drama school dropouts and car thieves with a penchant for sex magic. They have released two albums and play to crowds of over 1000. This is an exciting, visually stimulating and no-holds barred documentary including scenes of nudity.

This award-winning film investigates the allegations of links between devil worship and heavy rock music. Should heavy metal music in particular carry a government health warning? Recommended by Time Out magazine as 'compulsive viewing'. Winner of Prix de la Critique & Mention D'Honneur, Jury International des Journalistes Critics Prize, Prix Danube.

This movie is not what it seems. Ringo, having accepted a ring from a fan, unwittingly becomes the target sacrifice of an eastern cult. Attempting to rid themselves of this deadly jewelry, the Fab Four encounter Mad Scientists, Scotland Yard, the entire compliment of the Nassau police force and one wayward long distance swimmer. As the plot is only a device upon which a great deal of happy nonsense is draped, its actually the least important part of the film.

Electric Ladyland is a rock album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, released in 1968. It is seen as the peak of Jimi Hendrix's mastery of the electric guitar, and is frequently cited as one of the greatest rock albums of all time. Not only the last Jimi Hendrix Experience album, it was also the last of Hendrix's studio albums to be professionally produced under his own supervision. After Electric Ladyland, Hendrix spent the remaining two years of his life attempting to organize a new band and recording a great number of songs. Released as a double album, Electric Ladyland is a cross-section of Hendrix's wide range of musical talent. It includes samples of several genres and styles of music, including the psychedelia of 'Burning of the Midnight Lamp' [previously a UK single in the summer of 1967], the soul-turning bluesy guitar jam 'Voodoo Chile', the New Orleans-style rock and roll of 'Come On', the epic studio production of '1983... [A Merman I Should Turn to Be]', and the political commentary of 'House Burning Down'. The album also features a stunning cover version of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower' that was widely praised by many, including Dylan himself.

The Beatles, at the height of their popularity, made this cartoon of a land that is taken over by the Blue Meanies. They are recruited by an escapee to come and bring joy [and music] back to the land. The techniques are quite psychedelic in the cartoons and much care was taken to have the walks and mannerisms of the individual Beatles cartoons match the originals. Written by John Vogel [jlvogel@comcast.net] The Beatles are spirited away in the eponymous yellow submarine to save Pepperland from the dreaded Blue Meanies. Along the way, the singing saviors encounter a surreal feast for both the eyes and ears: phantasmagorical creatures, outrageous landscapes, and colors that throb and vibrate to each and every Beatle song on the soundtrack. It's a drug-free, hallucinogenic journey for the armchair tripper, the peak of which is undoubtedly [and not surprisingly] the 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds' sequence. An incredible film experience at all levels, 'Yellow Submarine' manages to capture exquisitely and in visual form the beauty and madness of the incomparable Beatles. And to think 1968 also included Kubrick's '2001'...
