Music On TV - Documentaries/Live Performances

CLTV seem to show the sort of stuff that used to be on vintage tv

There were a couple of progs on Rush on Sky Arts a few weeks back which were quite good, though Rush is not a band whose music I really warm to.

Unlike Duran Duran, whose BBC4 stuff in June I finally got round to watching

Sky Arts have some new-ish thing with Roger Waters tomorrow night, and a new one on Paul Carrack on Sunday night.

Have to say Kylie at hyde park bloody amazing was a kylie and Jason reunion and then she Rick rolled the audience with Rick Astley

all 3 of them over 50 and look almost no different to themselves 30 years ago

A new series on Drummers started tonight on Sky Arts (or there's Amy Winehouse on BBC4). SA have some prog on Blondie's Clem Burke tomorrow night, and a Stones concert on Sunday night.

The Paul Carrack concert was quite good, the Clem Burke doc too.

Tonight there's a new doc & concert on New Order and tomorrow night something on REM, both from Sky Arts.

The New Order ones were good, one from before Hooky left (and amusingly makes clear he and Bernard are at loggerheads), and the other from this year with their Synth Orchestra bit revived from the Manchester International Festival, and highlighting a few of theirs that I've heard less of (like Your Silent Face).

Finally caught up with this series, very entertaining... moreso for bearing your distress in mind (given the number of heavy rock drummers both interviewed and praised, even Phil Collins got a mention, but lil Lars... uh uh )

The Life and Death of Sam Cooke, a well-told story of talent snuffed out by trusting the wrong people. Cooke felt his record company weren't good for him, and was persuaded by Allen Klein to trust him instead. Rather like walking through a nettle patch, taking a short cut over a fence and finding yourself in a minefield instead. It was pointedly remarked that Klein, having persuaded Cooke to form a new company for his royalties, took over control within 6 months. When Cooke suggested he would get away from Klein, he was mysteriously dead within weeks.
