Check out the 2008 Scorsese flick: Shine a Light (2008) - IMDb
Saw it on a plane when it first came out. Pretty good documentary.

Yeah, I'm in the minority but I never said that you couldn't admire anyone you want.
Keith Richards is alive & John Denver's dead. Who saw THAT coming'?
The Irony! Good thing I just set my coffee down!

1987?
Definitely one of my all time favorites! Did you ever hear Al Jarreau's version? Worth a listen.

Musta been a Beatles fan
One of the proudest intergenerational moments of my life occurred about 10 years ago when I overheard my son showing off to his friend his favorite CD. The Rolling Stones "Hot Rocks". Brought a tear to my eye
Say what you want about us old guys but WE knew how to rock and got the music to prove it!

Johnny Rivers is a guy that I don't think gets enough credit. This is from about 1965 and I think it epitomizes rock n roll's attitude at its best. Turned up sport coat collar, skinny pink tie on a black shirt and a soul patch under his bottom lip. Young Johnny is a guitarslinger that has got it going on and the hippie crowd is groovin.

No, but I think I need to. Like Jarreau.
As for "us old guys" knowing how to rock, I missed a lot of the fun. I was 32, with a wife and two kids, when the real Woodstock went down. I was one of those guys the kids weren't supposed to trust.
Good listener, though. And anytime I see the movie "Woodstock" is going to be on the tube I try to catch it.

I still am a Beach Boys fan along with, Johnny Rivers, The Righteous Brothers, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Temptations, and most rockers of the last 50s and 1960s. The music of our generation covered so much ground, from rock and roll to R&B, Soul, folk and acid rock. I listened to Fats Domino, The Everly Brothers, Elvis, the Big Bopper, Buddy Holly with my older brother. I would fall to sleep listening to my TRANSISTOR Radio.
