"In Super Overdrive Live" de Billy Idol se filmó en el Congress Theatre de Chicago para la serie de televisión estadounidense "Soundstage" y se emitió en su versión original en Estados Unidos en julio de 2009. El espectáculo muestra a Billy Idol con sus rasgos típicos, la expresión facial siempre ligeramente burlona y el cabello rubio hidrógeno, reunido con su legendario guitarrista Steve Stevens, quien grabó (y en parte también compuso) todos los éxitos ídolos de los ochenta. La lista de canciones incluye los primeros éxitos de su banda Generation X, sus sencillos clásicos en solitario como "White Wedding", "Flesh For Fantasy", "Eyes Without A Face" o "Rebel Yell", así como temas de su álbum actual "The Devil's Playground". Idol es un fantástico animador en vivo con gran carisma, el público reaccionó a cada minuto de este fascinante concierto con total entusiasmo.

Just seven years after wrapping up one of rock's first farewell tours, The Who returned to the stage in 1989 with another first: the classic album show. It was the 20th anniversary of Tommy, which seemed like a good excuse to book a bunch of stadiums and play the album along with a healthy dose of Who classics, aided by a mere 12 other musicians. This is The Who live at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, 24 August 1989.
Rhino Records is proud to present a 3-DVD boxed set showcasing one of the greatest live bands ever-The Who. Disc one features a live rendition of their full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy. Tommy was performed live in 1989 at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, with special guests Elton John, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Patti LaBelle, and Steve Winwood. Disc two contains the band's second rock opus, this time built around the story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the mid-60s. This live version of Quadrophenia, from the 1996/1997 U.S. Tour was the first time it was performed as Townshend and Daltrey had visualized it, with live action and featuring a then-unknown Alex Langdon in a spellbinding performance as Jimmy, the disillusioned Mod.

Jim Morrison, cabeza visible de The Doors, para muchos fue un regalo de Dios; para otros, un vástago del Diablo. Vivió al límite, en una anárquica carrera autodestructiva salpicada de escándalos y arrebatos de ira y de pasión que lo hundieron en un abismo de sexo, alcohol y drogas.
