The History of Rock and Roll (2004)

Serving as an introduction for neophytes and a refresher course for experts, the history of rock and roll is a mammoth and, when considered on its own terms, the company is often successful. The series, which was first introduced in 1995, consumes about 578 minutes, with 10 episodes (no bonus) on five discs. Its pedigree (executive producers include Quincy Jones, while respected writers Peter Guralnick and Greil Marcus are listed as consultants) is impressive, as its scope, from pre-rock days of bluesman Muddy Waters and boogie-woogie master Louis Jordan and death of Kurt Cobain and the birth of the Lollapalooza festival in early 1990. Along the way, dozens of major artists (with the notable exception of the Beatles) are on hand to guide us through the story.

And 'the negative side, the shape - clips of musical performances on a short parade of Talking Heads - Once again typical of the genre, it's frustrating for those who come to music alone. Nor is it likely that someone who studies these things can find a lot here that has not already seen. Actually, some great moments, such as the profile of Bob Dylan (Part 5 of "turning point"), some great clips from legends like James Burton and relatively rare T-Bone Walker (in part 7, "Guitar Heroes "), and rarely seen live bits of Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, Iggy Pop (goofing Show Dinah Shore is 77), and many others scattered in September Part 8 of Chronicles in the '70s, is surprisingly compelling (one forgets how many major artists - Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder - is remembered as the decade came in large part on his disco and faceless arena rock), while Part 9, "Punk" is probably the most fun.

In the end, is not a perfect musical entertainment that is set to the Achilles' heel. Then again, their appetites whetted here, perhaps viewers switch to other, to look more closely at their heroes - for example, from the Beatles Anthology. - Sam Graham
