Notes from the original uploader (joefish):

These are the original streams as broadcast by the BBC.

I will post episode 2 next, with a MultiMenu,
a set of DVD menus which you can optionally use to burn
episodes 1 and 2 to a single DVD.

"This is the first episode of a major new landmark series
that travels through the Seven Ages of Rock - a journey
that takes us from sweaty clubs to vast stadiums, from
the crackly 45 to the MP3 download. Along the way, the
genre's greatest performers, writers and producers tell
us how rock emerged, grew, and gave voice to each new
generation that embraced it.

This episode looks at 1966. A young American guitarist
called Jimi Hendrix arrives in Britain to find a music
scene on the brink of major change. Artists like The
Beatles, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones and The Who
are all eager to move in new directions. But it's
Hendrix who has the musical pedigree and the vision to
ignite the revolution that will deliver to the world a
new, hard-edged music of attitude: Rock.

This is the story of that rock revolution of the 1960s,
as seen through the life and music of Jimi Hendrix. We
see how he became the first - ultimately doomed - icon
of rock. Delta blues man, Dylan-esque poet and
technological prophet, Hendrix was the synthesis of
everything that had gone before him and all that was to
come."

Personal Notes: The first of 7 BBC documentaries on the history of rock. I personally enjoyed every minute of them, and I highly recommend them if
you don't have them, being a precious document and path through rock music that enriches knowledge and comprehension of the
evolution of this incredible art from the 50's to the 90s.
