Star-studded show recorded at the Big Sur Folk Festival, Big Sur, California, September 13th and 14th, 1969. Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joni Mitchell, John Sebastian, and others. This film captures a remarkable moment in folk, rock, and pop history - the famous folk festival that brought traditional acts like Dorothy Morrison & The Combs Sisters and Carol Ann Cisneros together with the psychedelic rockers of the day who were most deeply rooted in the folk revival. Older songs like ‘Oh Happy Day,’ ‘Rise And Shine,’ ‘All God’s Children,’ and ‘Swing Down, Sweet Chariot’ meet Joni Mitchell’s ‘Woodstock,’ Joan Baez’s ‘Sweet Sir Galahad,’ ‘Bob Dylan’s ‘I Shall Be Released,’ CSNY’s ‘Down By The River,’ and many more of the now-classic songs of what was then called the ‘new rock.’ The scene is notably intimate and - aside from one fan’s dustup with Stephen Stills - mellow, with many rare, close-up moments with the stars.

Constructed from a wealth of archival footage, the documentary follows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. from 1955 to 1968, in his rise from regional activist to world-renowned leader of the Civil Rights movement. Rare footage of King's speeches, protests, and arrests are interspersed with scenes of other high-profile supporters and opponents of the cause, punctuated by heartfelt testimonials by some of Hollywood's biggest stars.

Black and white footage of performances, interviews, and conversations at the Newport Folk Festival, from 1963 to 1966. The headliners are Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan, who's acoustic and electric. Son House and Mike Bloomfield talk about the blues; John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee show its range. The Osborne Brothers perform bluegrass. Donovan, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Mimi and Dick Farina, and others less well known also perform. Several talk musical philosophy, and there's a running commentary about the nature and appeal of folk music. The crowd looks clean cut.

一切的源头应该追朔到由于内战与连年乾旱爆发大饥荒的非洲古老的艾塞俄比亚. 在1984年圣诞节前原 Boomtown Rates 合唱团的团员、也是爱尔兰知名摇滚歌手 Bob Geldof 与英籍电子团Ultravox 的 Midge Ure 合写一首 "Do They Know It\'s Christmas" 并召集了当红的英籍歌手与团体如保罗。杨、文化俱乐部(主唱乔治男孩)、杜兰杜兰合唱团、史汀…组成临时超级团体 Band Aid 演唱，期望能募款七万五千英镑来帮助这些难民。

A frank and generous portrait of the folk legend and activist with the incredible voice who, at the age of 82, continues to fight the good fight. A visual diary from a cultural icon.
In a sun-drenched cabin in Woodside, California, the directors meet the now 82-year-old Joan Baez. She is one of the 20th century’s greatest folk singers and activist voices, and in the autumn of her career she contiunues to shine. ‘Joan Baez, I Am A Noise’ is structured as a visual diary anchored in Baez’s extraordinary archive, including newly discovered home movies, diaries, artworks and sound recordings. At the same time, the singer is remarkably honest and revealing about her life on and off stage – from her lifelong psychiatric struggles to her myriad activist causes with Dr Martin Luther King and others, to a heartbreaking romance and musical partnership with a young Bob Dylan. A searingly honest look at a living legend who has never told the full truth about her life – until now.

Berkeley in the Sixties is an award-winning documentary film by Mark Kitchell. The film features Mario Savio, Todd Gitlin, Joan Baez, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Huey Newton, Allen Ginsberg, Gov. Ronald Reagan and the Grateful Dead. The documentary highlights the origins of the Free Speech Movement and the development of the counterculture of the 1960s in Berkeley, California.

As our country continues to embroil itself in foreign wars and pins its hopes on a new leader's promise for change, Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune is a timely and relevant tribute to an unlikely American hero. Over the course of a meteoric music career that spanned two turbulent decades, Phil Ochs sought the bright lights of fame and social justice in equal measure - a contradiction that eventually tore him apart. From youthful idealism to rage to pessimism, the arch of Ochs' life paralleled that of the times, and the anger, satire and righteous indignation that drove his music also drove him to dark despair. In this brilliantly constructed film, interview and performance footage of Ochs is illuminated by the ruminations of Joan Baez, Tom Hayden, Pete Seeger, Sean Penn, Peter Yarrow, Christopher Hitchens, Ed Sanders, and others.

Live Aid was a dual-venue concert that was held on 13 July 1985. The event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously in Wembley Stadium in London, England, United Kingdom (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as Australia and Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.[2

本集以极大的篇幅让观众重返1960年代的美国社会，体验1060年代末期摇滚乐反传统次文化的兴衰。当时的美国不仅反政府也反战，整个社会有着相当反体制的情绪，这个风潮不但反映在电影如《我俩没有明天》、《午夜牛郎》等名片中，也反映在最有普及性和流行性的音乐创作上。其中最为人所津津乐道的便是1969年8月在纽约州的小镇上举办数十万人次的音乐盛会——Woodstock音乐节，这个音乐节完全的反应当时社会的氛围，以及人民的复杂情绪。
此外还可以欣赏到The Grateful Dead、山塔那及Jefferson Airplane同台演出，Janice Joplin、Big Brother和The Holding Company一块热情演唱Ball and Chain，并重温Woodstock的盛况。

2021 film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore

TV's most-watched history series brings to life the compelling stories from our past that inform our understanding of the world today.

1970年8月底，现代流行音乐史上被誉为最大的户外音乐节——怀特岛音乐节（Isle of Wight Festival of Music 1970）在英国怀特岛阿夫屯农场举行，包括The Who、The Doors、Joni Mitchell等50多个艺人单位轮番上台献唱，而音乐节参与人数创纪录的60万也超过了1969年的美国伍德斯托克。但本次音乐节却有着那么多的不和谐音，纵火、滥用药物、与警察的冲突以及歌迷们对美国冷战及越战的愤怒弥漫在音乐节的上空。但是，当Jimi Hendrix结束了他生前最后一次大型演出后，凌晨4点，Leonard Cohen缓缓地登上了怀特岛的舞台。
是年科恩35岁，发行了两张专辑，15年后才有《Hallelujah》，现在他还是一个波西米亚浪子，一个优雅的文艺青年。开场前，科恩用催眠一般地话语对大家说：我想要求每个人都点燃一根火柴，这样我就可以知道你们都在哪里了。于是，星星之火便燃起了。或许是因为服用了当时盛行的迷幻类药品 Mandrax的缘故，Cohen所唱的14首歌曲都用了至少比录音室作品慢了四分之一的速度演绎，而这样的状态恰恰应了台下歌迷的胃口。当科恩唱出《Bird On A Wire》时，躁动的乐迷被奇迹般地抚平了。而随着《So Long，Marianne》《Hey, That's No Way To Say Goodbye》《Suzanne》一首接一首，观众们已经完全坠入了科恩用歌声编制的魔幻世界里。

这部影片的内容是以科恩兄弟2013年的电影《醉乡民谣》（Inside Llewyn Davis）的名义在The Town Hall（纽约）举办的一场小型演唱会的台前幕后纪录，乐手们演唱的曲目是上世纪六十年代初（前鲍勃·迪伦时期）格林威治村的民谣，包括了《醉乡民谣》里出现的歌曲。登台的乐手和组合有The Avett Brothers、Joan Baez、Dave Rawlings Machine、Rhiannon Giddens、Lake Street Dive、Colin Meloy、The Milk Carton Kids、Marcus Mumford、Punch Brothers、Patti Smith、Willie Watson、Gillian Welch、Jack White，《醉乡民谣》的男主演奥斯卡·伊萨克也一同登台献唱。当然，对于多数中国乐迷来说，这里面最出名的是Joan Baez和Patti Smith两位天后级巨星，虽然她俩都已白发苍苍，但举手投足的风采不减当年。另外，这部影片并不是完整的演唱会视频，而是以纪录片的方式辑录了乐手们在台前幕后的演出、排练、交流、访谈等内容，但全片逾三分二的时长都是音乐演出，所以也可以当音乐会视频来欣赏。

Part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream, this film captures the troubled spirit of America in 1975 and the joyous music that Dylan performed during the fall of that year.
