Tonight BBC4 at 9.00 pm Born to be Wild - a new series featuring American rock in the 70's.
Following at 10.00 pm is Hendrix - The Road to Woodstock. The definitive documentary record of one of Jimi Hendrix's most celebrated performances, now digitally remastered and featuring footage never seen on television before.
Wow. 8)
"Born to be Wild" was released in 1968, not the 70s!
Woodstock was held in 1969, so it's all good, then.
Taken from the BBC website chaps so don't shoot the messenger!

Dear Baby Boomers and retro-ists: please switch your bloody music off and let the young ones have a go, eh? 😉

In the spirit of "know your enemy" I've just watched it. Incredibly bland - said nothing the boomers haven't said before.
Only interesting band was MC5, and they barely got a whisper.
The generation that thought it could change the world. And it did: by owning everything and turning its cultural output into a near theocratic hegemony.
I am sure there was a prog band called
near theocratic hegemony.
Weeeelllllllll, it was a tad dull.
Hendrix documentary, well what can I say. Legend.
Edit: must confess to never having heard of MC5!
Quite enjoying the LA Woman one!

What!
The band that basically spawned punk, grunge, et al? “Kick out the jams, mother(censored) brothers and sisters”
Was ok.
I don't like how it's engrained that Jimi died 'because of drugs' because now we all know he was murdered.
Wish Buffalo Springfield and maybe CSN/Y had got a mention.
Anyone going to see Neil Young at Hyde Park in July?
