- In the mid '60s rock and roll was being revolutionized. But the dominant scenes of this change were British and Californian - New York was slow in developing its own distinctive movement. Yet when one did emerge it was conceptual, urbane and controversial - and it all started with The Velvet Underground and the high-priest of the New York art world, Andy Warhol. This film traces the roots and evolution of this punk scene, from Andy Warhol's Factory and Lou Reed's seminal group in the late 1960s, through the proto-punk movement at NY clubs Mercers and Max's Kansas City which featured emerging acts the New York Dolls and Suicide, through to the underground scene that eventually developed at CBGBs. It is the authoritative story of a blending of art, music, style and attitude that shook the world at the time and continues to influence the world to this day.

- In the late nineteen seventies, Van Morrison reappeared after several years on hiatus, a period during which he had gone from being one of the world s biggest stars to a memory from rock n roll s past - and music had moved on during his absence. Though the film focuses on the albums A Period Of Transition (1977) to Poetic Champions Compose (1987), it does give a bit of Van Morrison's earlier history at the beginning, including mention of Them, plus a bit of his early solo career. It also goes into 1974's Veedon Fleece, and how its lower sales led to a three-year absence just before A Period Of Transition, and how an appearance in The Last Waltz led to a friendship with Dr. John, who worked with him on the 1977 record.

- 20122h 41mNot Rated7.5 (18)VideoDocumentary which examines the influence of the Bizarre and Straight record labels, set up by the musician Frank Zappa. Though the initial idea behind the imprints was to provide Zappa with artistic independence by freeing him from his present record contract, the label founder poured every bit as much energy and enthusiasm into the records released by other artists as he did his own. The labels provided a home to Alice Cooper, Captain Beefheart and Tim Buckley, among others, and have become an integral part of rock music history.
