Leonard Bernstein - Inside Pop - The Rock Revolution

[EssentialTension]

American TV Documentary from 1967 in which Lenny Bernstein explain and illustrates why some music of the sixties pop revolution is not to be sneered at.

Very poor quality but I found it fascinating - perhaps you will too.

Yep, that's a great watch and very interesting to listen to.
Maestro Bernstein looks like something out of a Mafioso film.

I also liked how it turns out Lenny is a better composer than singer.

The first section, with Bernstein analysing some of the then-contemporary music, is fascinating. The social analysis that follows is about as embarassing (on both sides of the debate) as you'd expect.

I loved Zappa's interjections, and also the way Peter Noone was repeatedly captioned as "Herman".
