BBC Series exploring the dramas that lie behind some of the best-known bands. The British blues boom threw up two of the biggest bands of the late 60s and early 70s, Cream and Led Zeppelin. This programme charts the careers of groups as diverse as the Yardbirds, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Manfred Mann and Cream as they turned the blues into rock.
In the 60s young people were tired of pop and started listening to American blues. With Paul Jones and John Mayall. Some strong language.

The Brits have great Rock programming. I am a big fan of the "Classic Albums" series.

Now that's one fantastic series I didn't know of. I just watched the Black Sabbath episode and just loading Fleetwood Mac. Brilliant find, spam. Thanks a lot!

Always glad to share.
I tell ya what, you can submit the Fleetwood Mac one here. My treat. I promise you a 5* rating from me but can't guarantee that it will be well accepted elsewhere. The band has a bad reputation of being a bubble-gum sound, mostly from their latest incarnation. Truth is, some of their earlier members were as blood and guts blues as there ever was.

Just posted it. Who cares about the others. Peter Green's "Oh well" ist one of the most brilliant riffings the ever was on guitar. Those who can't see that just shouldn't be allowed to listen to music. ;)

Nicely done. Can't let that slide without a little self-promotion.

BTW, to have Jaxon's script embed the video, make certain that the domain is google.com (not .de) and drop everything to the right of and including the ampersand. I'll post a comment on that link now but a moderator will have to change it.

I think it's more that that vocalist is often confused with a goat.
