I'd love to see entire live concerts from geniuses like Coltrane, Monk, Bo Diddley, etc w/o having the sublime interrupted so I can hear what an inspiration it was for Carlos Santana. I saw some lame history-of-rock documentary which included tremendous live footage of Bo from '64 or '65, absolutely thunderous & the teenage girls were screaming just as loud as they did for the Beatles. >> There are tons of early rock and rollers in 1950s youth exploitation films, i.e., little richard, bo, Haley, platters, etc. Even some 60's films, Blow Up had the Yardbirds performing, Lovin Spoonful were in a film performing. And what about a dvd of Ed Sullivan shows, or Shindig, even (dare I say) American Bandstand. The possibilities are endless.
