Rolling Stones specials recognize group’s 50th anniversary

Continued on page 2

This entertainment extravaganza was originally planned and staged by the Rolling Stones in December of 1968 as a BBC TV special to be broadcast not long afterward, but was never shown.

Featuring performances by Jethro Tull, the Who and Marianne Faithful, plus many songs by the Stones, the theatrical concert also introduces “Yer Blues,” written by John

Lennon and Paul McCartney and performed by John Lennon with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell.

The public television broadcast includes a never-before-televised 2004 interview with the Who’s Pete Townshend about the historic gathering.

Rolling Stones: Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! Wednesday, March 6, at 11 pm Repeats Saturday, March 9, at 11 pm

This new film short by the legendary Maysles Brothers chronicles the Rolling Stones’ epic performance at Madison Square Garden in November 1969. Get Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival in 2009.

Albert and David Maysles famously documented the Rolling Stones’ 1969 United States tour in “Gimme Shelter,” released in 1970. Now, Albert Maysles has put together archival footage that shows the band — Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Mick Taylor and Bill Wyman — at its apogee, wowing New York audiences at Madison Square Garden over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov. 26-28) of that year.

Muddy Waters and the Rolling Stones LiveSaturday, March 16, at 5 pm and 10:30 pm

On Nov. 22, 1981, the Rolling Stones arrived in Chicago prior to playing three nights at the Rosemont Horizon. Long influenced by the Chicago blues, the band paid a visit to see legendary bluesman Muddy Waters perform.

It didn’t take long before Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood and Ian Stewart were joining him on stage. Later, Buddy Guy, Junior Wells and Lefty Dizz also played their part. Luckily, this amazing blues night was captured on camera and has now been restored from the original footage, with sound mixed and mastered by Bob Clearmountain.

Songs From the Sixties

Sam Cooke — LegendSunday, March 3, at 8 pm

This biography of the visionary singer-songwriter and producer examines his extraordinary career and personal life — from his gospel-singing roots through his R&B, soul and pop music career.

The program includes rare performances by Cooke and footage of him and close friend Muhammed Ali. It also features interviews with fellow musicians Bobby Womack, Aretha Franklin and Lou Rawls; business manager Allen Klein; and the Cooke family.

Often cited as the inventor of soul, Cooke built his own label and publishing company and wrote such classics as “You Send Me,” “Wonderful World,” “Chain Gang” and “A Change Is Gonna Come” before being shot to death in 1964.

HootenannyWednesday, March 6, at 8 pm Repeats Saturday, March 9, at 8 pm

Enjoy rare performances by legendary artists including Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, the New Christy Minstrels, Jimmie Rodgers, Clara Ward Singers, Trini Lopez, Theodore Bikel and many others.

Hootenanny originally ran on television in the early 1960s and, in essence, it was a folk music variety show.

This production was compiled by documentary filmmaker and musicologist Joe Lauro, who also was responsible for unearthing the only surviving episodes of the Hootenanny program.

‘60s Pop Flashback: HullabalooTuesday, March 12, at 8 pm Repeats Sunday, March 17, at 3 pm

This My Music presentation returns to the era of go-go dancers, mod miniskirts and swinging pop-rock sounds. The top singers and groups of the hippest decade present their greatest hits, blending the British Invasion with Broadway and folk rock with rhythm and blues.

This first-ever retrospective of the 1965 NBC-TV primetime series includes appearances by the Rascals, Nancy Sinatra, the Four Seasons, Paul Revere & the Raiders, the Lovin’ Spoonful and the Byrds. The program is hosted by Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits.

‘60s Pop, Rock & SoulSunday, March 17, at 5 pm Repeats Thursday, March 21, at 9 pm

Hosted by icons Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits and Davy Jones of the Monkees, this concert spectacular features hits and favorites of the AM radio era from Paul Revere and the Raiders, Gary Lewis and the Playboys, the Kingsmen, the Ventures, Question Mark and the Mysterians and Jefferson Starship.

Every song is a classic from the decade of peace, love and profound social change — sung by performers who represent a period of time that resonates through the generations.

American Masters, Philip Roth: UnmaskedFriday, March 29, at 9 pm

Also airs on Fusion on Saturday, March 30, at 9 pm

Explore the life of the novelist and winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, who is often referred to as the greatest living American writer.

In candid interviews, Philip Roth discusses intimate aspects of his life and art as he has never done before: his unliterary upbringing in Newark, N.J., his writing process, the inspiration behind his most famous novels and the many controversies he stirred throughout his career.

With 31 books to his credit, including “Goodbye, Columbus,” “Portnoy’s Complaint” “Sabbath’s Theater” “American Pastoral” and “The Human Stain,” Roth practically invented the genre of factual-fictional autobiography and commands ownership of the Jewish-American novel. Interviewees include Mia Farrow, Jonathan Franzen and Nicole Krauss.
