Prog Rock: Timeshift

BBC4
This 2004 Time Shift doc recalls a time when pigs flew and knights skated. DJ Bob Harris, Yes drummer Bill Bruford and Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett defend the much-maligned but musically adventurous genre, and reflect on the pomp that, for many, went hand in hand with it.

ELP on Tour
Bob Harris introduces film of Emerson Lake and Palmer's 1973 Euro concert tour. Behind the scenes antics include Greg Lake falling prey to laryngitis in Vienna, Keith Emerson destroying a keyboard and Carl Palmer rehearsing the 1812 overture.
Carl Palmer presumably playing a solo version of 1812 - certainly didn't lack ambition!!! Roll over Tchaikovsky!!!!Wake me if I snore!!!
Untouchables on Film4 for me!
Well, I think messrs Peel and CSM argued my case extremely eloquently for me!! Loved Peels comments about ELP - at the end of the evening he was so overcome with emotion he had tears in his eyes - thinking this is bollox!!
Rock on - with 55mins of ELP coming next!!
It's a shame Oscar Hammerstein wasn't the first member?
Very droll - trying to think of a good answer but distracted by some long-haired twerp in the background with his moog turned up to 11!

Priceless - esp. with ELP in the background - and of course it led to this

Well, that was almost an hour of my life I'll never get back! Now onto Strange Fruit on BBC4 - not quite Spinal Tap but still worth viewing - "sometimes I make percussions on tinkerbells!"
It seems pretty good. A good cast?
