Michael	It was indeed a good show. I think I might start collecting these things and make kids sit down and watch them as homework. I wouldn't go so far as to say that everything was better then (I only have vague childhood memories of it), but it's good to see the gradual development of a scene dissected like that.
Manager Man	Despite the above, JK, it was a hugely enjoyable programme. I do hope young people were watching (which I doubt on a Saturday night) but remembering that era, which was quite electric, puts today's music (and young people) to shame. In the 60's we would have brought Iraq to a halt in weeks.
JK2006	Can I just put this straight for the record? I played Jimi Hey Joe by a Californian group called The Leaves. He had never heard it (or played it) before. I have a Thank You letter from Jimi for turning him onto Tim Rose's song. Chas Chandler (who I loved) never heard Jimi playing it in New York before he brought Jimi to London. History has been rewritten - not for the first time!
