Jimi Hendrix: Live at Woodstock
Woodstock was a cultural moment, and Jimi Hendrix played the most important role of that moment. It was said the unused footage was thrown out, but it was untrue, as that wasn’t the type of thing that anyone would have done. Luckily, all of the remaining unused footage has now been released, and incorporated into the pre-existing footage.

Ladies & Gentlemen The Rolling Stones
In 1972, the Stones bring their Exile on Main Street tour to Texas: 15 songs, with five from the "Exile" album. Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Mick Taylor, Charlie Watts, and Bill Wyman on a small stage with three other musicians. Until the lights come up near the end, we see the Stones against a black background. The camera stays mostly on Jagger, with a few shots of Taylor. Richards is on screen for his duets and for some guitar work on the final two songs. It's music from start to finish: hard rock ("All Down the Line"), the blues ("Love in Vain" and "Midnight Rambler"), a tribute to Chuck Berry ("Bye Bye Johnny"), and no "Satisfaction."

Ed Sullivan's Rock and Roll Classics
On Sunday nights throughout the '50s and '60s, Ed Sullivan brought pop culture into America's living rooms with the most influential show of its kind. If you made it there, you had it made because for the first time, the entire country was at home watching. During the course of the show's run, many of the early rock and roll legends were featured in career-defining performances. These cultural milestones have been compiled for this program, along with archival footage and narration for insight on the artists, their eras, and their classic appearances. Now seen with half a century of hindsight, it's clear Ed Sullivan was right - his was a "really big show."
