The 7 Ages Of Rock

[pickledparrot69]

Sabbath comes next episode, then unfolds into the Glam Metal thing and Ozzy solo career. Disgustingly, Led Zeppelin are only included in the "Stadium Rock" episode alongside U2, Sting, Queen, Springsteen. That's a kick in the face for one of the greatest rock innovaters of our time. And Hendrix was well covered in Episode 1.

It doesnt even mention Led Zep - and really they are only covered for a few minutes in Ep5

Yeah, Led Zepplin were a great little band that not many people have heard of - they really needed more time devoted to them so we could all learn more.

Shows like this are just a walk down memory lane. Bit of a waste of time really if you already have all their records at home.

"Oooh! I didn't know The Rolling Stones did concerts!!!"

Loved tonights show, I never knew The Velvet Underground had Andy Warhol as a manager. Lots on my favourite band PF, though I wonder when/if we are going to see Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and all the other great 70s bands.

RobW,
Given it's chronological & we are into the 70's, I think we can give up on seeing Hendrix.

As said a few posts ago Hendrix was EP1 . Virtually the whole episode was about Jimi. Wasnt that screened in Australia? Its not a cronological series either, IMO its all over the place. Also IMO its a fairly average series compared to other docos of similar subject matter.

We got the alternative episode 1 mentioned in the link you posted.

I loved the early Floyd footage of Syd Barrett, but the modern-ish visuals seriously pissed me off. I didn't know Space Oddity was so early in Bowie's career. I am an '83 model... I can't be expected to know these things.

That is seriously cool. I saw PF twice in one week when they came out after releasing a momentary lapse of reason. They were outstanding.

And what exactly is wrong with walking down memory lane sir?

I was at the Brisbane concert, ******* awsome when Gilmour walked out of the shadows and hit it B)

cheers

 

[browndog]

Yeah, I saw that Stu, looking forward to that one. Yardy, I went to see Rodger Waters with Ross and his missus when he was out here last, great music, but it took two guitarists to do what David Gilmour did.

That would've been cool, without going too much OT what's your #1 Floyd album apart from DSotM, i think for me it's The Wall B)

If I had to choose it would be Wish you were here closely followed by Animals, The Wall and Obscured by Clouds. Too much goodness to choose from.
