Various Artists - Let It Rock DVD
Review by Steve Alspach
"Let It Rock" by Eagle Vision is a DVD that gives us a thoughtful look at the origins of rock and roll. The main occasion was a 1995 concert in Toronto's Massey Hall for Ronnie Hawkins, one of the pioneers of rock and roll in the 1950s.

It should be noted right from the start that, although this film is about a punk rock scene, it’s less about the music and more about the scene and the club where it flourished.

More

The Washington, DC punk scene was really a big deal.

Review by Gary Hill
One thing I’ve noticed as both a music fan and reviewer over the years, labels often start with a specific focus.

More
Various Artists - All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records DVD
Review by Gary Hill
First things first, this is not actually a "Various Artists" release. Other than some music playing and some interview clips, it really isn't about musicians.

Review by Gary Hill
I think anyone who really enjoys music, and particularly music in the way it relates to a specific area will really like this documentary.

More
Various Artists - Change Begins Within (A Benefit Concert for The David Lynch Foundation) DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I have to say that I don't support the cause for which this benefit was organized. That doesn't detract from the performance here, though.

More
Various Artists - A Tribute To Les Paul: Live From Universal Studios Hollywood DVD

Anyone coming into this video looking for a concert film is likely to be disappointed. Also, anyone offended by nudity and/or drug use should probably steer clear.

Review by Gary Hill
This documentary is fascinating. More importantly, it's also entertaining.

More
Various Artists - Woody Guthrie: All-Star Tribute Concert 1970 DVD
Review by Gary Hill
In the modern era it might be fairly simple to overlook Woody Guthrie's contribution to music, but it would be unwise. The man really was responsible for writing so many folk standards and influencing a generation (or more) of performers.

More

Review by Gary Hill

When it comes to the British music scene, it could be argued that "Melody Maker" magazine was an integral piece of the evolution of bands and sound.


More

Review by Gary Hill
If I had to come up with the slogan for this video, it would be "Come for REM and the B-52s, stay for the whole scene and the other bands." 

More
Various Artists - Athens Inside Out 2: Red Turns Into Blue DVD
Review by Gary Hill
This documentary is the kind of thing that's not easy to do justice to in a short review. That's because the scope of the film is actually very wide

More
Various Artists - Blitzed: The 80s Blitz Kids Story DVD
Review by Gary Hill
I like to think that as connoisseurs of much the same cultural material, those of us in the US are not that different from the people of England. The truth is, though, there are a lot of differences.

More
Various Artists - Goth: Explore the History DVD
Review by Gary Hill
This documentary feels a little like a Wikipedia documentary, but it doesn't seem to be one. 

More
Various Artists - Blood & Thunder: The Sound Of Alberts DVD
Review by Gary Hill
On the one hand, this documentary digs deep into the history of the Australian music scene.

More
Vitesse - Live At Rockpalast 1979 DVD/CD Set
