BBC - Radio 4 - Factual - Rockumentary Rollercoaster said:http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/b/b3/David%26AlMaysles.jpgIn brief, starting in 1965 London - with Subterranean Homesick Blues - this charts the history of the direct cinema style of rockumentary, featuring: Bob Dylan/Dont Look Back, The Rutles/Eric Idle (and some copycat outfit called The Beatles), Jimi Hendrix, Otis Redding, Monterey Pop Festival 1967, Grateful Dead, The Band, Janis Joplin, Spinal Tap/This Is Spinal Tap, The Rolling Stones/Gimme Shelter/Cocksucker Blues/Charlie Is My Darling, David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders From Mars, Woodstock, Talking Heads/David Byrne/Stop Making Sense, Sex Pistols/Malcolm McLaren/The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle/The Filth and The Fury, The Dandy Warhols/The Brian Jonestown Massacre/DiG!, Metallica/Some Kind of Monster and others.
Andrew Collins explores the world of the rockumentary. With its outlandish characters, bizarre situations and concert footage, the rock world is fertile ground to the documentary film maker.Contributors include D A Pennebaker, Albert Maysles, Susan Steinberg, Julien Temple, Ondi Timoner, Bob Smeaton and Joe Berlinger.
All very interesting, in this age of YouTube and mobile phone video! Dave Clark Five and Madonna/Truth or Dare (aka In Bed with Madonna) are cited, in antithesis of the style, also Lily Allen, which seems odd (considering her MySpace history).
I plan to flesh this out later. I'm slapping this up quickly so y'all have a chance to catch the show, on-line http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1276/774944679_54285671fb_o.gif (streamable for only a week, 'til 20 Nov 07, I think). Have fun! :) Ian BBC Radio 4
