August 22

A Night of Vintage Progressive Rock

From the annals of our vast collection comes this unforgettable night of rarities. Progressive Rock--an ambitious and eclectic term used to describe the blending of traditional rock with classical or jazz influences--is only a starting point to measure this, often unclassifiable form of musical expression in the early to mid-70's. Artists include Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, ELO, ELP, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Gentle Giant…and more. Prepare to be Moog-ified! (2 hours)

August 15

Tom Waits

An exceptionally rare, high quality concert from the April 18, 1977 edition of Rockpalast, the legendary West German music television program. Welcome to the dark, jazzy, twisted, literary world that is Tom Waits. For most of us who never had a chance to catch him in the good ol' days, now's the chance. (80 min.)

August 8

Talking Heads

Witness the legendary Heads from one of their best tours – Remain in Light – from Rome, Italy, in 1980. Assisting the group on guitar and vocals for this tour was Adrian Belew (Frank Zappa, King Crimson & David Bowie alumni). A rare and professionally filmed Italian TV broadcast! (65 min.)

"Call them punks...call them animals...but you better get out of their way!" Impotent Dad (Dana Andrews) decides on a career change that takes his emasculating, supportive wife (Jeanne Crain), their jailbait daughter, and pre-pubescent son on a cross-country road trip to a new beginning as moteliers in California. But said daughter turns the eyes and pistons of a gang of hot rod hoodlums bent on terrorizing the family and neutering its patriarch. (92 min)
