Movie: Hawkwind: The Chronicle of the Black Sword ( 1985 )
Hawkwind are probably better known by their former members than their current ones, but nevertheless are an important rock group, at least in terms of the UK music scene. Formed in the late 1960's, Hawkwind achieved underground cult status along with counterparts Pink Floyd (led by then relatively stable Syd Barrett) and The Soft Machine. At various times, science fiction author Michael Moorcock (who is seen in this video), Lemmy (who went on to form Motorhead) and Ginger Baker of Cream stardom were all members of Hawkwind. From their early hits "Silver Machine" and "Urban Guerilla" to their modern day shows played at underground raves and rock festivals, Hawkwind continues to be a great creative force with a unique sound. The Chronicle of the Black Sword is one of their most ambitious record to date and a great listen, but to be truly enjoyed, the concert video should be obtained and viewed because with Hawkwind, as with early Pink Floyd, the visual spectacle was half the show.

It was the first time they had been together since 1973. They recorded a brand new studio album, "Perfect Strangers" and headed out on tour.

This is without doubt one of the finest Deep Purple concerts ever filmed and a must have for their legions of fans.

Movie: Roy Harper Man or Myth ( 2013 )
The reputations of few artists from the heyday of British folk-rock remain intact. There is, however, one figure whose body of work has come to stand for a particularly single-minded form of integrity. That man is Roy Harper. In Roy Harper: Man & Myth, the singer songwriter tells his story on screen for the first time. Although he has always been a true outsider, now, at 72, Harper is coming close to becoming a beloved British institution. His songs are longer and more complex than his contemporaries', He has released in excess of 30 albums but he never won the friendship of record companies, who simply did not know what to do with him. In spite of that, other musicians love him, from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Kate Bush to Joanna Newsom and Johnny Marr who describes his work as "intense and beautiful". This profile tells the story of this acquired taste of a musician from childhood to the present day, as Roy records new material for the first time in more than a decade.

Movie: Deathbed Salesman: My conversation with Kim Fowley ( 2013 )
I've known Kim Fowley, record producer, singer, impresario, songwriter, musician, film maker, and provocateur since 1972. Our paths have crossed many times throughout our rock n roll adventures, and I have always been astounded by how many Trilbys there are to his Svengali. His powers of seduction run unfathomably deep. His career has had more peaks and valleys, highs and lows, iPods and iGods than any other rock and roll P.T. Barnum that ever existed. He makes a three-ring circus look like a lonely mime in Central Park. I was honored to spend an afternoon talking with him in the twilight of his neon life.

Movie: Iggy Pop: Live San Fran 1981 ( 2005 )
While this film may look rough and raw to 21st Century eyes, it is also the best representation of Iggy live during an otherwise pitifully undocumented era of his career. Fronting a crack band featuring Blondie drummer Clem Burke and future David Bowie guitarist Carlos Alomar, Pop is as unpredictable and dominant as ever (no small feat since he is sporting a mini skirt, garters and stockings for most of the show). Filmed on November 25 1981 near the end of their tour supporting his 1981 album Party, Iggy and co. are raw and ready for business. Iggy Pop Live 1981 provides a snapshot of a hungry artist at the top of his game in front of an adoring crowd.
