Sky Arts and BBC TV- What's on Today**

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers: Live from Gatorville | Radio Times

 

Thanks! Video recorder set.

 

Next Friday (8 October) Sky Arts has a new Classic Albums episode on Freak Out! by Frank Zappa and the Mothers.

 

Tonight on Channel 4 they’re showing Elton John: Red Piano, a concert from 2008 filmed in Vegas.

 

Watched the Nirvana/England doc on YT. I thought it was really good.

 

Re The Beatles, Hippies & Hells Angels

This is what the link says:

"How to watch
Next showing
There are no live broadcasts scheduled for this show."

Has it been on recently?

 

I think you've quoted me by mistake, I haven't watched that.

 

This now has it's own thread here Classic Albums Series - Zappa/MOI Freak Out

 

Yes, my mistake.

I now realise I misread the thread - sincere apologies.

I will now put the question to the correct person!

I didn’t watch it (apart from a brief glimpse), but it was on a week or two ago.

 

It was broadcast on September 26th. I missed it.

 

On October 22, at 2100, BBC Four will be screening Alex Winter's Zappa movie.
BBC Four - Zappa

P. S. The Beatles, Hippies & Hells Angels has been on Sky Arts a number of times in recent years.

 

I saw this a while back. Very good:

I plan to watch Paul Simon in Central Park (filmed on 1991) this evening, which is on Sky Arts at 8pm.

 

I was pleasantly surprised while watching the Paul Simon concert last night how few commercial breaks there were. It was a two and a half hour broadcast and only had 3 breaks!

 

Agree ..excellent documentary

 

I've always called BBC4, "BB See before," due to the number of they show rather than new programmes.

When I saw that listed in the TV guide, it prompted a memory and I checked and found it on my Humax hard drive with a couple of dozen other jazz programme recordings I'd made over the years, because it was a good one.

 

Tonight!

TV tonight: inside the world of prolific guitar virtuoso Frank Zappa

 

BBC2 tonight (and I certainly don't agree with the premise of it!):
The 80s - Music's Greatest Decade? With Dylan Jones Season 1 | Radio Times

 

Maybe ye blokes know what came of Margaret Tyzack then?
Proper bird, that
Me mam loved the bloody “Forsyte Saga” she done

 

My thought process went...

80s...yes!
Dylan Jones....oh.

So it'll just be the same old n0nsense again.

EG.

 

Sky Arts was a far better bet: Buddy Guy!

 

On Friday on Sky Arts at 9pm a repeat of the Dylan religious show “Trouble No More” and at 1am on Saturday morning “Buddy Guy: The Blues Chase the Blues Away”

 

I'm guessing the Dylan is the same as the DVD from the Trouble No More Bootleg Series, or does it have additional content?
