John Lee Hooker

Después de una pausa en la década de 1980, los Rolling Stones hicieron un gran regreso en 1989 con el "Steel Wheels Tour", su gira más larga en ese momento. También es el último con el bajista fundador Bill Wyman. "Steel Wheels Live" fue filmada en diciembre, en las últimas fechas de 60 conciertos en estadios norteamericanos. La venta de entradas, por supuesto, se disparó, pero lo más importante es que el diseño del escenario y la iluminación para el "Steel Wheels Tour" marcarían la pauta para las giras gigantes como las conocemos hoy. La asistencia especial de Axl Rose, Izzy Stradlin, Eric Clapton y John Lee Hooker en esa fecha en Atlantic City lo convierte en un documento aún más extraordinario sobre el regreso de la banda a la carretera.

John Lee Hooker was one of the greatest bluesmen of the 20th century. Born into poverty and racial segregation, he lived through a monumental time in American history. This is the story of a cultural icon, and his far-reaching impact on popular music, told in his own words and those of his family and closest collaborators. Interviews with Keith Richards, Van Morrison, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt and Robert Cray tell how an illiterate man from the rural and impoverished backwaters of the Mississippi Delta influenced their own musical journey. We reveal his part in bringing the Blues to a new generation of young British musicians and how, in turn, those musicians introduced young, mainstream Americans to their own cultural heritage.
