Solid as a Rock
Imagine a concert with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the “killer” Jerry Lee Lewis and Bo Diddley. Add to the lineup the Doors. It really happened in Toronto back in 1969. Old met new and the craziest part was the last-minute surprise guest: John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band. Talk about rock ’n’ roll royalty; this show had it all! Find out how the concert came to be and watch the highlights in REVIVAL69: THE CONCERT THAT ROCKED THE WORLD, airing Monday at 9:30 PM on PBS Western Reserve.
I’ve only seen the Rolling Stones once — but it was unforgettable. It was in St. Louis sometime in the ‘80s (details are scarce to protect the not-so-innocent) and the show was outstanding. Mick and Keith are still at it and I’m not asking how they do it. Maybe you can figure it out in a great show of theirs from 2012, THE ROLLING STONES: GRRR LIVE! Yes, it has all the hits and some surprise guests including Bruce Springsteen, Lady Gaga and John Mayer. Join us this Wednesday at 9:30 PM on PBS Western Reserve.
