Had a rifle through Amazon's video listings last month and came up with a wish list so that the family could buy me something I actually wanted for my birthday in September. Well my wishes came true so I thought that I would give you an idea of what I think of 1970's related video's recently purchased and already on my shelves

This is a video of The Doors caught on film at the Hollywood Bowl in 1968.
With Jim Morrison at his dark, mysterious best and tracks such as The End, Light My Fire and The Unknown Soldier this is a must for Doors afficionado's and 60's/70's music fans to drool over.
Timeless music, wonderful lyrics.

The sad thing is that I saw this film when it was first released in 1972!
The music of the Floyd from around that time is accompanied by the visuals as they play live in the amphitheatre at Pompeii, Italy.
Classic tracks such as Echoes and Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun. A must!

Filmed at their Earls Court gig on October 20th 1994 this video contains classic Floyd tracks such as Shine On You Crazy Diamond, The Great Gig In The Sky and One Of These Days.
Thicker waistlines, shorter hair and an air of boredom but the music and lightshow are superb.

One of the best music video's ever made!
Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense is a semi-documentary of a concert, directed by Jonathan Demme.
Songs include Psycho Killer, Slippery People and Once In A Lifetime. Another must have.

Recorded live in Frejus, France in 1982 this album contains some classic Roxy Music tracks including Love Is The Drug, Avalon, Editions Of You and Jealous Guy.
Slick and smooth with Bryan Ferry at his 'lounge lizard' best.
Takes me back to the 1976 all-night gig at the Queens Hall, Leeds where Roxy were headlining.

This video, Beyond The Mind's Eye is a computer generated animation odyssey with a soundtrack by Jan Hammer.
Stunning images coupled with great music makes this an album worth buying.
There are other video's in the Minds Eye series with different musicians supplying the music.

Mike Oldfield performing Tubular Bells II at Edinburgh Castle.
Trying hard to emulate the success of Tubular Bells, Oldfield used the same name for the next album but couldn't cut it.
Still a good musical experience but a little over the top.
Includes backing from the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards band.

Any afficianado of 1970's music will remember The Old Grey Whistle Test and this double DVD contains a wealth of talent from the show.
Includes music from artistes such as Meatloaf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Tim Buckley, The Police, The Damned, REM, U2 and The Damned.
Also contains of interviews with music stars and presenters of the show.
