The Who presents their last concert of the 1982 "Farewell" tour in Toronto, Canada, 1982.

Concert of the Who's first filming of the Rock Opera «Tommy» at London's opera house, the Coliseum, 14 December 1969. At this point, the Who were in full stride, playing behind Tommy and making waves where ever they went. This performance, as rough and raw as it seems, is the Who at their all-time nastiest. Opening with the powerful «Heaven And Hell», the group slays each number — «I Can’t Explain», «Fortune Teller», «Tattoo» — before ascending the mountain of conceptual copiousness.

The Who’s 1982 tour, which was all in North America apart from two warm-up dates at the Birmingham NEC in England, was their last to feature Kenney Jones on drums and the band did not tour again until 1989. The tour promoted the recent IT’S HARD album, which had been released in June 1982, and the set list included a number of tracks from that album, some of which the band would only play live on this tour. This concert film features the show from the second of their two nights at New York’s Shea Stadium and was filmed on 13 October 1982.

Tommy is the fourth studio album by the English rock band the Who, released on 19 May 1969. In 2013, a super deluxe version of Tommy was released as a 3-CD / Blu-ray box set. As well as the original album, the package includes additional demos and a live performance mostly taken from the Who's show at the Capital Theatre, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 15 October 1969.

一切的源头应该追朔到由于内战与连年乾旱爆发大饥荒的非洲古老的艾塞俄比亚. 在1984年圣诞节前原 Boomtown Rates 合唱团的团员、也是爱尔兰知名摇滚歌手 Bob Geldof 与英籍电子团Ultravox 的 Midge Ure 合写一首 "Do They Know It\'s Christmas" 并召集了当红的英籍歌手与团体如保罗。杨、文化俱乐部(主唱乔治男孩)、杜兰杜兰合唱团、史汀…组成临时超级团体 Band Aid 演唱，期望能募款七万五千英镑来帮助这些难民。

On October 29th, 1999, The Who gave an awesome and historic concert at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas...one night only!

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.

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

This film came out shortly after Who drummer Keith Moon's death and as such, is a hybrid between a tribute to his work with the band and what it was probably originally intended to be, a collection of performances and material showcasing their development through their first quarter-century.
There are some great live performances here: including a smashing live version of the extended ‘Won't Get Fooled Again', stuff from the sixties' German pop show Beat Club, and many more. There are interviews (including the famous one with Russell Harty from the mid-seventies), and other bits and pieces put together. This was always the definitive line-up of the band, when their songs had spirit and their performances were technically accomplished with a touch of humour.

本集介绍美国乐坛重量级的民谣摇滚歌手鲍伯迪伦，他在1960年代中期为美国摇滚乐坛注入民谣的乐风，让整个乐坛有着不同以往的气息。有着“民谣摇滚诗人”之称的鲍伯迪伦在1965年的民歌演唱会还差点引发暴动，而为他刚起步的歌唱生涯掀起旋风。摇滚乐在1960年代接受了嬉皮与反战运动的洗礼后，经历了一次转型。
片中还为观众介绍难得一见的抒情摇滚先驱“柏德合唱团”的演唱片段；The Mamas & the Papas创造了新的California Dreamin版本；海滩男孩的布莱恩威尔森回忆当年面对披头四的压力。而影片的重头戏就是美国最伟大的吉他手吉米汉醉克斯，他神乎其技的弹指神功可说是四十年来无人能出其右，片中介绍他在蒙特娄流行音乐节时所引发的风潮，以及多位音乐人表达对他的景仰与敬意，这其中当然必包括贯穿全集访谈片段的吉他之神艾力克莱普顿。

1964-1966年是摇滚乐的文艺复兴时期，在本集中，我们看到英美摇滚乐团相互较劲的有趣历史。尤其是在1960年代英国摇滚乐团披头四（The Beatles），风潮从大西洋西岸的英国反扑至东岸的美国纽约，甚至蔓延至全世界。这四位来自利物浦的大男孩，从家乡的小酒馆变成全球少男少女的偶像。没想到四十年过去了，披头四的魅力至今仍未递减，反而成为全球重要的次文化现象。影片便从披头四的发迹史谈起，再为观众介绍英美两地摇滚乐团的不同，也为观众引介了像是滚石、史密斯飞船的摇滚乐团，比较两地之间的差异。
本集收录了1963年的披头四演唱片段、1965年的滚石合唱团演唱片段，及当时正值青春年少的Kinks及谁合唱团。海滩男孩回忆当年英国摇滚乐团如何激发了他们的创意。The Temptations、Supremes及Lovin Spoonful的演唱实况，重现摇滚乐那个创意勃发的年代。
