St. Louis, 1986. For Chuck Berry's 60th, Keith Richards assembles a pickup band of Robert Cray, Joey Spampinato, Eric Clapton, himself and long-time Berry pianist, Johnnie Johnson. Joined on stage by Etta James, Linda Ronstadt and Julian Lennon, Berry performs his classic rock songs. His abilities as a composer, lyricist, singer, musician and entertainer are on display and, in behind-the-scenes interviews, are discussed by Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bruce Springstein, the Everly Brothers, Roy Orbison and others. There's even a rarity for Berry—a rehearsal. Archival footage from the early 1950s and a duet with John Lennon round out this portrait of a master.

A documentary series about pop and rock albums that are considered the best or most distinctive of a well-known band or musician or that exemplify a stage in the history of music.

Never have so few companies controlled so much of the music played on the radio and for sale at retail stores. At the same time, there are more bands and more ways to discover their music than ever. Music seems to have split in two - the homogenous corporate product that is spoonfed to consumers and the diverse independent music that finds devoted fans online and at clubs across the country. BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES tell a story of American music at this precarious moment. Filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen traveled the country, hoping to understand why mainstream music seems so packaged and repetitive, and whether corporations really had the power to silence musical innovation. The answers they found on this journey–ultimately, the promise that the future holds–are what makes BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES both riveting and exhilarating.

An in-depth, award-winning documentary on the life and music of legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. Mixing rare photographs, exclusive interviews, and dramatic re-creations, it presents a compelling portrait of this enigmatic figure.

Live Aid was a dual-venue concert that was held on 13 July 1985. The event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously in Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as Australia and Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.[2

Clapton, live from Los Angeles' Staples Center on August 18, 2002, part of the sold-out worldwide tour that followed Clapton's 2001 album "Reptile."

本集以极大的篇幅让观众重返1960年代的美国社会，体验1060年代末期摇滚乐反传统次文化的兴衰。当时的美国不仅反政府也反战，整个社会有着相当反体制的情绪，这个风潮不但反映在电影如《我俩没有明天》、《午夜牛郎》等名片中，也反映在最有普及性和流行性的音乐创作上。其中最为人所津津乐道的便是1969年8月在纽约州的小镇上举办数十万人次的音乐盛会——Woodstock音乐节，这个音乐节完全的反应当时社会的氛围，以及人民的复杂情绪。 此外还可以欣赏到The Grateful Dead、山塔那及Jefferson Airplane同台演出，Janice Joplin、Big Brother和The Holding Company一块热情演唱Ball and Chain，并重温Woodstock的盛况。

被称为代表了自由、热情和诗意的吉他，不似静止的钢琴，是流动的乐器。六弦吉他有多种弹奏的方式，再运用回声扩大器与和弦技巧，就赋予了摇滚和其它音乐完全不同的声音，因此成为了一个世代的象征。1930年开始的电吉他早在摇滚乐前就出现，在蓝调音乐先是扮演了重要的角色，之后在乡村摇滚乐中被灵活地运用，然后终于在摇滚乐中跃升为最重要的代表性乐器之一。 本集中主要记录了许多摇滚乐中吉他手的先驱如查克贝瑞、齐柏林飞船合唱团的吉米佩吉和无名英雄詹姆斯波顿等人与吉他的历史渊源。山塔那谈到玩音乐时的不断咒骂、弹奏着《爆发》的范海伦忘我的神情、摇摆唱着乡村摇滚《肯达基的蓝月》的猫王埃尔维斯普里斯莱的自在……都让人心醉神迷。比比金大谈吉他弹奏的技巧、布鲁斯史宾斯汀更将吉他的香味用比喻的方式陈述，透过屏幕，让人嗅到了吉他的气味。
