Rock on TV

This page lists a selection of rockumentaries produced since
1976 devoted to specific artists who were active in the 1960's/early 1970's

The Rutles - All You Need is Cash

The Rutles were a parody of the Beatles created by ex-Bonzo Dog Band Neil Innes and Monty Python member Eric Idle, they originally performed a skit on the comedy show "Rutland Weekend Television" in 1975. The spoof documentary loosely follows The Beatles own story and George Harrison makes a cameo appearance as a reporter, there are also interviews with Mick Jagger and the actual Paul Simon. Innes was responsible for writing all the songs and plays the Lennon equivalent Ron Nasty whilst Eric Idle is the McCartney-like Dirk McQuickly, Rikki Fataar (a multi-intrumentalist who had a spell as the drummer in The Beach Boys in the early-mid 1970's) plays the Harrison-ish Stig O'Hara and John Halsey (ex Timebox/Patto) is drummer Barry Wom.

Can Documentary

Documentary on the German band Can, the greatest band of all time.

Irmin Schmidt, speaking in 1971: "Television is immensely interested in the political opinion of beat musicians, because they cannot talk. TV is not at all interested in the political opinion of other people who also want socialism and a more human society, since they can spell it out. I am insecure, I know much too little... so that television can preach: "Look, they do not know what they want!". As I said, I should take a manipulated position and this as easily as possible. That means I should simplify an immensely complicated economic process, so that it can be consumed. This is an alibi for television. Television knows that a 'little bit', only a little bit can be included, but that this bit of the revolution that we want is included in the music, so you can destroy this little bit when you manipulate the musicians in such a way - That they are forced to interpret their music with words."

Home Video released 15th March 1999 as part of the "Can Box" which also included two CD's of live material and a book.
