Chuck Berry: The Original King of Rock 'n' Roll
Himself
Story of Chuck Berry told by his relatives and friends.
Born In Chicago
Self
"Born In Chicago" is a soulful documentary film that chronicles a uniquely musical passing of the torch. It’s the story of first generation blues performers who had made their way to Chicago from the Mississippi Delta and their ardent and unexpected followers – young white, middle class kids who followed this evocative music to smoky clubs deep in Chicago’s ghettos. There, against all odds, they were encouraged by the greats who had became their musical mentors and learned the art of the blues at the feet the masters, going on to make the music their own.
Stones en el exilio
Self
In 1971, to get breathing room from tax and management problems, the Stones go to France. Jimmy Miller parks a recording truck next to Keith Richards and Anita Pallenberg's Blue Coast villa, and by June the band is in the basement a few days at a time. Upstairs, heroin, bourbon, and visitors are everywhere. The Stones, other musicians and crew, Pallenberg, and photographer Dominique Tarle, plus old clips and photos and contemporary footage, provide commentary on the album's haphazard construction. By September, the villa is empty; Richards and Jagger complete production in LA. "Exile on Main Street" is released to mediocre reviews that soon give way to lionization.
The Howlin' Wolf Story: The Secret History of Rock & Roll
Arguably second only to Muddy Waters among the Mississippi Delta singers who traveled north and pioneered urban electric blues (their supposed rivalry is the subject of one of this DVD's bonus features), Wolf was a big, imposing man with an inimitable, booming voice and a lasting influence on generations of rock & rollers--all of which comes across in the 90-minute film.
Cocksucker Blues
Producer
This fly-on-the-wall documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their 1972 North American Tour, their first return to the States since the tragedy at Altamont.
Ladies & Gentlemen, the Rolling Stones
Producer
Fimación de dos conciertos de los Rolling Stones en Texas durante su gira norteamericana promocional del álbum "Exile on Main Street" de 1972. 15 canciones, con cinco del álbum "Exile". Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts y Bill Wyman en un pequeño escenario con otros tres músicos. Hasta que las luces se encienden cerca del final, vemos a los Stones sobre un fondo negro. La cámara permanece principalmente en Jagger, con algunas tomas de Taylor. Richards está en la pantalla para sus dúos y para algunos trabajos de guitarra en las dos últimas canciones. Es música de principio a fin: hard rock ("All Down the Line"), blues ("Love in Vain" y "Midnight Rambler"), un tributo a Chuck Berry ("Bye Bye Johnny") y nada de "Satisfaction".
