Liking the look of this. Break It All: The History of Rock in Latin America. I had to Google Los Saicos as soon as I read this description:

 

One of the wildest garage bands of all time was born in 1964 in a nice middle-class section of Lima, Peru. Despite the polite surroundings, the band’s teen frontman, Edwin Flores, had a demonic voice that captured the joyous depravity of singles like Demolición. Think Surfin’ Bird by the Trashmen, but with an extra snarl.

 

Demolición is indeed magnificent. Just my sort of thing.

The 1972 film of Aretha Franklin singing in church is supposed to be good, it might be the one where Candi Staton sings too. Some of the Stones where there as they were finishing off Exile On Main Street. 

BBC2 8.30pm.

 

Just watched this and it’s incredible. Aretha going back to church at the very pinnacle of her career to record a live gospel album (Amazing Grace - the best-selling gospel record of all time), which was filmed but never released. The performance is just mind blowing. Simultaneously effortless and totally impassioned.

 

I’ve seen a lot of live music in my time, both in person and on film, but I have never before seen anything like the performance of Never Grow Old at the end. It is incredible. Her dad, Rev CL Franklin, is at the front with Clara Ward, the gospel legend. The choir and audience are just totally losing it. Jagger gegged in as he’d heard night one was unbelievable and wanted to see for himself and he’s bouncing around. It’s truly amazing.

 

Even the band just grooving as the audience goes out at the end of the first night is great with Bernard Purdie, the legendary drummer, playing. Aretha’s piano playing is massively underrated judging by this and the choir leader, Rev James Cleveland, could easily have been a soul legend himself. 


This is still on iPlayer now and if you have any interest whatsoever in the emotional power of music, I urge you to check it out. As a confirmed atheist, this is closest I’ve ever got to thinking there might be something to all this God stuff. Wonderful, wonderful stuff. Get on it.

Sky arts is great, seen some really good stuff on there. 

Janis Joplin tonight. Not that I give a fuck about most actors/actresses and what they do off screen but there's been some interesting ones that they've shown in Discovering whoever, also a good few old South Bank Show interviews.

I really enjoyed it, especially as I've been listening to them a lot recently but it was a proper stitch up job on Levon Helm towards the end.

 

Guitarists are wankers.
