Alice Cooper: The Nightmare (1975)

First aired by ABC on April 25, 1975 Alice Cooper: The Nightmare presents a little over a hour long descent into the world of Alice Cooper as it showcases songs from his Welcome To My Nightmare album, plus "Ballad of Dwight Frye" from Love It To Death. We follow the character Steven through a nightmare world from which he cannot escape.  Making a special appearance as the "Spirit of the Nightmare" is horror favorite Vincent Price. I missed the first television airing of this special, but gained access to this thanks to its availability on VHS in the 1980s.

200 Motels (1971)

In 1970 Frank Zappa assembled a new lineup of the Mothers of Invention which featured three members of The Turtles along with some jazz and British musicians. The first release by this new combo was Frank Zappa's solo album Chunga's Revenge. This record plus a May 1970 concert where Zubin Mehta conducted the Los Angeles Philharmonic along with a rock band, served as a preview of Zappa's intended film. He presented multiple audio tapes, a ten page treatment, and media clippings to United Artists and this pitch resulted in the studio giving Zappa $650,000 to create the film.

Initial filming took place at Pinewood Studios in the UK. Along with the new Mothers of Invention, musical celebrities Ringo Starr and Keith Moon were also part of the proceedings. Interesting to note that 200 Motels was lensed entirely on videotape and then blown up to 35mm film using a Technicolor film printer used by the BBC.

Do Not Panic - Hawkwind Documentary

The psychedelic, space rock sounds of Hawkwind are examined in this documentary. Started in London 1969, the band has undergone several line up changes through the years including Lemmy Kilmister as bass player/vocals from 1972 to 1975. After he was kicked out, he then formed the iconic heavy metal act Motörhead. 

Hawkwind's live show was truly a "trip" where the wild music compounded with lights, strobes, and for a period during the 1970s, an often nude statuesque dancer Stacia. Also notable is the musical dna link that Hawkwind provides between the hippie and early punk worlds.

Can - Documentary on the German Band

This is a documentary on the German band Can, compiled by Rudi Dolezl & Hannes Rossacher. Formed in Cologne, West Germany in 1968 with a sound that mutated from track to track, they created incredible music that influenced musicians such as John Lydon + Public Image, Pavement, and the Butthole Surfers.

The White Stripes - 2005 - Brazil

On 1 June 2005 The White Stripes were the first rock band allowed to perform at the long standing Teatro Amazonas Opera House in Manaus, Brazil, located within the Amazonian rainforest. The show generated a huge response among local fans and the musically curious with tickets quickly selling out. Video screens were then set up outside to allow for the over flow. Here's the footage.
