What's on the telly? - A penguin. (Musik-related TV tips)

The_Nutter · **Posted:** Mon Apr 16, 2012 2:32 am

Hi folks,

every once in a while the BBC has summat music-related on its iPlayer, and usually someone picks it up and posts it here. I thought instead of having hundreds of seperate threads, I'd attempt one "link collage" with this one, so that when folks find a new reply to the thread they are automatically notified (should they have subscribed to the thread, that is).

Anyhow. Worth a try.

Cheers all-

Nutter

Let's begin with something they have on the iPlayer at the moment:

Sweet Home Alabama: The Southern Rock Saga.
"An epic 1970s tale about a group of rebel rock bands who rose up from one of the most unpopular, marginalised parts of the USA - the Deep South - and conquered the world.

The Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd and others that followed did this entirely on their own terms, blending the music of the region - blues, country, rock and roll - with a gung-ho attitude that set the South, and then America, on fire.

Their diverse styles, from juke joint boogie and country-rock honks to cosmic blues blasts, had a huge cultural and political impact, even helping to elect Jimmy Carter as president in 1976.

Their extraordinary adventure is brought to life through vivid period archive and contributions from the survivors of those crazy times, including Gregg Allman, REM's Mike Mills, Doug Gray, Al Kooper, Bonnie Bramlett, Charlie Daniels and other key figures in the movement."

* Broadcast on BBC Four, 12:35AM Mon, 16 Apr 2012
* Available until 1:34AM Mon, 23 Apr 2012
* First broadcast BBC Four, 9:00PM Fri, 13 Apr 2012

Duration: 65 minutes

Thats a good idea, i watched the southern rock tv prog and enjoyed it very much. After helping Carter get elected he apparently ignored em, looks like politicians are the same the world over! :lol:

Hi folks,

once again a small tip from the BBC iPlayer: Pearl Jam. Haven't watched it yet myself as I'm am bit short for time but I'm sure someone here'll like it. Available until 12th of May. Enjoy.

In 1990 they started a band, their first album went gold, then sold 13 million copies. The band would go on to sell more than 60 million records worldwide and perform in nearly every major city in the world. Now they have opened their vault, with 20 years of rare and never-before-seen footage to tell their extraordinary story. From one of the great directors of our generation.

Told in big themes and bold colours with blistering sound, this is the definitive portrait of Pearl Jam - part concert film, part intimate insider-hang, part testimonial to the power of music and uncompromising artists.

Carved from more than 1,200 hours of footage, live performances and recent interviews, the film chronicles the years leading up to Pearl Jam's formation, their rise to fame and the chaos that ensued soon thereafter.

Academy Award-winning director Cameron Crowe has assembled the best-of-the-best from Pearl Jam's past and present in a compelling narrative that recreates the visceral feeling of what it is to love music and feel it deeply.

After 20 years, nine bestselling albums, 60 million record sales and thousands of live performances across the globe, Pearl Jam has a devoted fanbase often compared to that of music legends like the Grateful Dead, Bruce Springsteen and the Who, propelling them into superstardom and solidifying their position as one of the biggest, most magnetic touring acts in the world.

Peter Green: Man of the World

BBC iPlayer wrote:

Legendary blues guitarist BB King named Peter Green as one of the greatest exponents of the blues, and the 'only guitar player to make me sweat'. If Green had only written Black Magic Woman, his name would still have a place in blues rock history forever.

His three short years leading Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac saw the band established as one of the biggest-selling groups of the 1960s. Yet at the height of their fame Green left the group, with his life spiralling into turmoil as drug-induced mental health issues took control. Rumours of his demise began to spread, and sightings of him became notorious.

After years battling his mental illness, Green is writing and recording again. Featuring archive performances and interviews with Carlos Santana, Noel Gallagher, founding members of Fleetwood Mac and Green himself, this film tells the story of one of blues rock's living legends. (R)

Yet another documentary I haven't got time for... AAAARGH!
