本片是一部关于南斯拉夫乐队“无烟地带”的纪录片，由南斯拉夫著名导演埃米尔•库斯图里卡（Emir Kusturica）执导，他作为该乐队的贝斯手也出现在影片中。影片记录了“无烟地带”乐团2000年在欧洲巡演的经历，中间夹杂着乐手们关于成长历程的叙述，以及后台闲谈、排练的片段。影片结构也很有特色，乐队前台表演的画面使用彩色胶片拍摄，而表演后台的花絮以及乐队自述都采用粗糙的黑白影像来表现，形成强烈的对比。乐团一路欢唱，将巴尔干庞克的狂野与疯癫、欢乐与凄苦充分表现在他们的嬉笑欢腾与玩世不恭中。在巡演过程中，他们坚持追寻南斯拉夫的音乐根源，并希冀加入现代的摇滚元素重新构建自己的独特音乐风格。 本片获得2001年美国芝加哥国际影展最佳纪录片银盘奖。

All Tomorrow’s Parties is a DIY concert film featuring performances from an eclectic mix of some of the most influential artists including: Battles, Sonic Youth, Belle And Sebastian, Grinderman, Iggy and the Stooges, Portishead, Mogwai, Slint, Grizzly Bear, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip, Daniel Johnston and The Boredoms. The film is a semi-found bricolage made from Super8, camcorder and mobile phone footage contributed by over two hundred filmmakers, fans and musicians over the festival’s recent history, with key contributions from Jonathan Caouette (Tarnation) and Vincent Moon (The Take Away Shows, Arcade Fire). All Tomorrow’s Parties is a fiercely independent festival that many music lovers regard as one of the most important music events in the world. In an intimate and communal atmosphere, free of corporate sponsorship, it serves up a heady combination of alternative music, crazy golf and chalet-living, with musicians and fans living side by side. At each festival a band or artist is chosen to gather up their favourite artists who perform over a weekend in an out-of-season holiday camp by the sea. Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore described the festival as the ‘ultimate mix tape’.

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。

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。

摇滚乐是怎么来的呢？在片中我们看到摇滚乐的历史，也许你相信摇滚乐与美国南方黑人在采棉时所唱的采棉歌有着密不可分的关联，而接着过渡到福音歌曲、灵魂、乡村、爵士、蓝调经过时间的推演形成现在的摇滚乐风潮。这个单元带领乐迷重温摇滚乐的第一个黄金时期，埃尔维斯普里斯莱、巴迪霍利、小理察、杰瑞李刘易斯。迪克克拉克回忆“美国舞台”的起源和一段青少年偶像及扭扭舞等舞曲横扫乐坛的时期。这其中也让人感受到，摇滚乐不只是一群可爱的白人男孩在学猫王而已。摇滚乐在美国本土所掀起的风潮和它所带动的影响力，值得乐迷欣赏。

什么是摇滚乐，而摇滚乐的魅力又在哪呢？ 本集中，乐坛的摇滚老将布鲁斯史宾斯汀、戴维鲍伊纷纷对摇滚乐下定义，尽管他们的解释有所不同，但是我们透过他们的言语了解到摇滚乐是何等的重要。其它摇滚乐坛熠熠红星包括小理察、米克杰格及U2的波诺谈改变他们一生的歌曲，并且收录首批摇滚巨星全盛时期的风采：马帝华特斯、查克贝瑞等，以及蒂娜透纳回忆当年在棉花田里作牛作马及梦想成为歌手的情景。另收录麦可杰克森电力十足的《比莉珍》演唱实况。

After a series of traumatic childhood events, a psychosomatically deaf, dumb and blind boy becomes a master pinball player and the object of a religious cult.

The Beatles film has an obscure Asian cult that believes in human sacrifice after Ringo who has accidentally put on the victim's ceremonial ring. He is pursued by the cult, a pair of mad scientists, and a member of a side cult that no longer believes in human sacrifice, and the London police who are trying to help.

GET YER YA-YA’S OUT! is a chronicle of The Rolling Stones’ epic performance at Madison Square Garden in November 1969. Albert and David Maysles famously documented the Rolling Stones’ 1969 U.S. tour in the feature documentary Gimme Shelter, released in 1970. Now, Albert Maysles has put together never-before seen archive footage that shows the band — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman — at its apogee, wowing New York audiences at Madison Square Garden over the Thanksgiving weekend of that year. Beyond the full-length performances of five Stones songs — presented in surround sound — the film includes a cover shoot, rare backstage footage, a mixing session and more. “27 minutes of pure pleasure. An intoxicating snapshot of the Rolling Stones’ 1969 tour, this irresistible time capsule captures the band before they were a brand, and includes glimpses of Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times

With much of Mogwai’s recent output having fallen uncharacteristically flat, one could be forgiven for thinking that this release, a live album and DVD set, signals the once-great band finally running out of ideas. Yet while Special Moves/Burning offers nothing in the way of new material, it serves as a timely reminder of Mogwai’s immense talent and eternal ability to inspire.

Slingshot Hip Hop braids together the stories of young Palestinians living in Gaza, the West Bank and inside Israel as they discover Hip Hop and employ it as a tool to surmount divisions imposed by occupation and poverty. From internal checkpoints and Separation Walls to gender norms and generational differences, this is the story of young people crossing that separate them. 政治衝突建起的高牆把巴勒斯坦人，分隔在加沙、約旦河西岸和以色列境內。看不見將來的青年以嘻哈音樂超越邊界和困難，表達國土被佔據和貧窮的愁困。

This documentary follows the Japan-based underground rock band MONO as they record and tour for the 2006 release "You Are There." Several full-length live songs are included here, along with revealing footage of the band at work and at play.

THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE is currently playing in theatres. (This is being written in October, 2003.) I believe the DVD will include this version with other material, but, since that won't be out until November, I'm only commenting on what's being seen in movie theatres. This is a film of a memorial concert. George Harrison's colleagues and friends gathered at the Royal Albert Hall a years after his death and performed. The film quality is good and so is the sound. Everybody is relaxed. I've always felt THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH has an atmosphere of panic. THE CONCERT FOR GEORGE, with an equally stellar line-up, is much more assured than THE CONCERT FOR BANGLADESH. A highlight is a piece featuring Eric Clapton playing a guitar solo with Ravi Shankar's musicians behind him. The piece was written by Ravi Shankar for this event. George Harrison's concept of music which is both Western and Eastern is realized. Paul McCartney sings Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" clearly and sincerely. Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne sing "Handle With Care," the Traveling Wilburys' signature tune. Billy Preston is in fine voice and someone I've never heard of, Joe Brown, performs. His band was managed by Brian Epstein. We are shown a poster for an event at which the Beatles warmed up for Joe Brown's group. Joe Brown's songs are sung in a warm, confident voice and he plays a ukelele. Ukeleles were a major joy for Harrison in his last decade. Ringo sings "Photograph" with better keyboard work than I've ever heard on it. He drums on a couple of the songs Paul sings on. McCartney and Clapton play a segmented "Something," Paul beginning it with a ukelele and Clapton coming in about a third of the way through with a bright electric solo. The drumming at this point successfully duplicates the sound on ABBEY ROAD. Olivia Harrison lights a lamp at the beginning and, throughout the concert, Dhani Harrison plays rhythm guitar. He plays piano during the Ravi Shankar composition. During "Isn't It a Pity," Dhani sings "Nah, nah, nah, nah-nah, nah, nah" in a tipping of the hat to "Hey Jude." After "Isn't It a Pity," Ringo introduces Paul. Michael Palin, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam (joined by Neil Innes and Tom Hanks, actually) do two skits and Palin makes two humorously pompous speeches. Several times, but not intrusively, the performers speak to the cameras about George. During one or two songs, the voice of an interviewee comes over a song, and that's my one objection. Altogether, this is a movie of a good concert and the last few minutes are really quite moving. I saw it with a small audience, but everybody clapped at the end.

The biography of former Beatle, John Lennon—narrated by Lennon himself—with extensive material from Yoko Ono's personal collection, previously unseen footage from Lennon's private archives, and interviews with David Bowie, his first wife Cynthia, second wife Yoko Ono and sons Julian and Sean.

Legendary California music festival (pre-Woodstock) that launched the state-side careers of several performers, most notably Jimi Hendrix. Check out Mama Cass being absolutely blown away while watching Joplin sing. Here there be REAL acid rock.

关于英国电子乐的记录片，时间跨度从70年代末的后朋克时期到80年代中期的电子流行。 70年代末，朋克还占据着英国的大街小巷，但总会有不同的东西吸引着年轻人的视线，越来越灰暗的伦敦街道也预示着什么的到来。 在JG Ballard科幻小说的刺激下和德国乐队Kraftwerk的启发下一帮年轻人，穷的响叮当的年轻人，包括Human League, Daniel Miller and Cabaret Volatire开始了采样器在英国的旅行。 接下来是嘉里纽曼在1979年的成功真正让合成电子乐进入到了主流社会。再接下来就是大名鼎鼎的Depeche Mode,他们今年还要在伦敦演出，幻想一下他们30年前的样子，噢，11月份之前你都可以在bbc的网站上看见他们。这一下爆发的合成流行风包括了 Ultravox, Soft Cell, OMD and Yazoo 。 每个乐队都有一个故事，1983年的宠物店男孩和新秩序巩固了合成流行的地位并指出了未来电子乐的方向。伊恩科虒斯永远长眠，但他如果看到今天的景象不知会做何感想，或者也会像他当年乐队的采样Bernard Sumner一样，沉着而幽默，因为音乐是永远向前的。
