A film as powerful today as it was when it was made over fifty years ago.
Violent and articulate, it said simply that here was a group of astounding musicians – The Beatles, Hendrix, Cream, The Who, Donovan, Frank Zappa – who were also eloquent and had something important to say about the world in which we lived. As John Lennon wrote to me, “We have smashed down the door of the BBC, and rock ‘n’ roll on television will never be the same again”. Warning: Contains scenes of violence. Tony Palmer
