Disc 3 has three parts; The interview with Chuck, Bo Diddley and Little Richard is very good. It opens one's eye's to the racism and discrimination these artists had to go through in the early days. Bo's story of the Georgia State Police is shocking! Little Richard's description of R&B as "Real Black" music has them all in stitches! We also see Chuck playing boogie woogie piano with Little Richard, another insight!

The other two parts deal with Robbie Robertson from the Band going through an old scrapbook, which had been in a fire, and bascially interviewing him. He touches gently on Berry's prison experience (which he had done 3 different stints)and the final section "Chuckisms" is, as previous reviews have said-very interesting and moving with Robertson's gentle guitar backround.

Disc 4 has three-and-a-half hours of historical interviews with the founders of Rock and Roll, modern pop music and the recording industry. All fascinating and compelling viewing. The sound on all these discs is superb, the editing great and the colour is magnificent.

i had a very weird experience seeing this movie when it first came out.

I was in SF and sitting outside the theatre on a low wall looking down at the next block. There was the Fillmore West and behind it was Jim Jones's old church. I noticed after a bit that my arms started to have a little twitch in them, then my legs. after about 15-20 seconds I was shaking like a leaf.

I jumped off the wall and looked the other way down the sidewalk and there was Anton LaVey walking up the sidewalk from behind me. I didn't know he was coming up behind me till I jumped off the wall, but my body did!
