Janis Joplin

Una aventura de la era espacial ambientada en el contexto de la misión lunar Apolo de 1969 e inspirada en la infancia del director Richard Linklater.

An account of the short life of genius musician Jimi Hendrix (1942-70), probably the most talented and influential guitarist of the twentieth century: his humble beginnings in Seattle, his time in New York, his rise to fame in swinging London… Live fast, love hard, die young.

Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all died at the age of 27 between 1969 and 1971. At the time, the coincidence gave rise to some comment, but it was not until the death of Kurt Cobain, about two and a half decades later, that the idea of a "27 Club" began to catch on in public perception, reignited with the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011. Through interviews with people who knew them, such as music stars, critics, medical experts and unseen footage, the lives, music, and artistry of those who died at 27 are investigated with a bid to find answers.

La legendaria escritora Joan Didion reflexiona sobre su carrera literaria y su agitada vida personal en este documental íntimo, dirigido por su sobrino Griffin Dunne.

Documental sobre la legendaria cantante norteamericana Janis Joplin. La artista americana Cat Power, cantante de rock de origen sureño, narra en primer persona cómo Janis Joplin llegó a convertirse en una estrella, a través de las cartas que Joplin escribió durante años a sus familiares, amigos y colaboradores, antes de su fatídica muerte a los 27 años.

Ihre Karriere dauerte nur vier Jahre, und trotzdem wurde Janis Joplin zum ersten weiblichen Superstar der Rockmusik. Ihr früher Tod trug das Übrige zur Legendenbildung bei. Die Dokumentation zeigt den kurzen Lebensweg eines texanischen Provinzgirls, das über Nacht zur Hippie-Ikone und zum Star der Musikszene von San Francisco wird, ebenso berühmt wie Jimmy Hendrix und, was den Umgang mit Drogen und Alkohol betrifft, ebenso berüchtigt.

The performances featured on this DVD were filmed at the studios of KQED TV in April 1967, just weeks before Big Brother & The Holding Company shot to international fame following their blinding set at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 (which featured Joplin's show-stopping performance of 'Ball And Chain', a highlight also of D.A. Pennebaker's famous movie documenting the festival). For many fans this was the period when Janis Joplin was at her best, before the pressure of fame and the ravages of drugs took over. This is the first DVD to release these KQED TV tracks. The songs are interspersed with short interviews with Janis and other band members, all in excellent sound and picture quality for the era. In addition to 'Ball And Chain', which was to appear on the group's second album in the following year, the set features two of the group's hit singles, 'Down On Me' and 'Coo Coo'. This package also includes a bonus audio CD of the tracks.

The filmed account of a large Canadian rock festival train tour boasting major acts. In the summer of 1970, a chartered train crossed Canada carrying some of the world's greatest rock bands.

Big Brother and The Holding Company: Nine Hundred Nights

A German documentary that explores the darker side of the Beach Boys, primarily focusing on Brian Wilson and the Pet Sounds album, with detours to the Manson Family.

Woodstock Diary was originally broadcasted on U.S. TV in August 1994 - in honor of the 25th anniversary of the event. Later it was released on DVD with remastered 5.1 sound. It includes performances not shown in the Woodstock movie but not exclusively. Between the songs there are recent interviews with the producers / organizers of Woodstock Joel Rosenman, John Roberts, Michael Lang, the stage announcer Wavy Gravy and Lisa Law (a member of the Hog Farm who helped out at the festival).

It's no exaggeration to say this might be the most intense and groundbreaking 45-minute performance in the history of rock. Jimi Hendrix's debut American set at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival is generally considered one of the most radical and legendary live shows ever. Virtually unknown to American audiences at the time, even though he was already an established entity in the UK, Hendrix and his two-piece Experience explode on stage, ripping through blues classics "Rock Me Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "Killing Floor," interpreting and electrifying Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone," debuting songs from his yet-to-be-released first album and closing with the now historic sacrificing/burning of his guitar during an unhinged version of "Wild Thing" that even its writer Chip Taylor would never have imagined. Hendrix uses feedback and distortion to enhance the songs in whisper-to-scream intensity, blazing territory that had not been previously explored with as much soul-frazzled power.

Rare clips of performance and interviews by a multiple of stars, all prematurely lost.
