Een clichébegin: 4 tienerjongens vormen een rockband in de keuken van de drummer. 45 jaar, 14 albums, 24 concerttournees, 22 Grammy's. U2 zamelt miljoenen in om honger, ziekte en armoede te bestrijden. Muziek overstijgt melodie. Het betekent een missie.

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was Death. Formed in the early '70s by three teenage brothers from Detroit, Death is credited as being the first black punk band, and the Hackney brothers, David, Bobby, and Dannis, are now considered pioneers in their field. But it wasn’t until recently — when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of Bobby’s attic nearly 30 years after Death’s heyday — that anyone outside a small group of punk enthusiasts had even heard of them.

Documentaire over de legendarische progressieve rockband King Crimson. Wat begon als een traditionele documentaire over de band ter ere van het 50-jarig jubileum, werd uiteindelijk een diepgaand verhaal over tijd, de dood, familie en de kracht van muziek om levens te veranderen - maar dan met humor. King Crimson is een band waar mensen letterlijk dolgraag bij willen horen. In the Court of the Crimson King is een zwart komische film voor iedereen die zich afvraagt of het de moeite waard is om alles op te offeren voor een enkel moment van transcendentie. Al meer dan 50 jaar leidt Robert Fripp, ook beroemd om zijn werk met David Bowie en Brian Eno, een unieke creatieve omgeving waarin vrijheid en verantwoordelijkheid samenspannen om het uiterste te eisen van de bandleden die alleen worden verlicht door het applaus van een publiek, doch wiens aanbidding echter dreigt hun leven nog moeilijker te maken.

An authentic portrait of life on the road, with exhilarating performances, this is an inspiring anthem for Welsh talent.

In deze documentaire neemt zangeres Linda Ronstadt de kijker mee door haar vroege jaren toen ze Mexicaanse liedjes zong met haar familie, haar folk-periode met the Stone Poneys, en haar jaren als 'rock queen' in de jaren zeventig en tachtig. Ronstadt was een pionier voor vrouwen in de door mannen gedomineerde muziekwereld en tevens een vroege pleitbezorger voor mensenrechten. Verder had ze veelbesproken romance met de gouverneur Jerry Brown. Uiteindelijk verloor Ronstadt haar stem aan de gevolgen van de ziekte van Parkinson.

Parting Ways treats The Beatles with the respect they deserve and details their lives since the world's number one band fell apart.

Written in 1967, Sgt. Pepper’s was the world’s first concept album. The Beatles went into the studio, enthusiastically embracing the possibilities for experimentation that were blossoming at the time, and with no intention of playing the album live. Firstly, because they just didn’t feel like it (due to the hordes of screeching fans), but also because it was music that supposedly couldn’t be performed on stage, as it was too complicated. But that music just had to be played live at some point! Now The Analogues’ perform this masterwork live in all its analogue glory—an honor for which no effort has been spared with regards to a truckload of wild and wonderful vintage instruments. There’s a sitar and tabla drums for ‘Within You, Without You’, a rare Lowrey keyboard for ‘Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds’; a harp for ‘She’s Leaving Home’, plus, of course, a huge array of strings and horns. This is The Analogue’s quest to faithfully perform Sgt. Pepper’s live!...as The Beatles never intended.

In 1966, The Beatles become a pure studio band. Abbey Road Studio 2 will subsequently see an explosion of creativity and innovation in song writing and recording techniques the likes of which has never been seen. It will herald one of the most productive periods ever in the history of pop music. Revolver, Sgt. Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Let it Be and Abbey Road: these six iconic albums were recorded in the short space of five memorable years. But...they were never performed live. Until now! The Analogues perform all six of these albums in their entirety, precisely as the records were made at the time, using the same vintage instruments, amplifiers, sounds, live strings and horns. This is The Analogues performing the amazing Magical Mystery Tour.
