Movie of the Week: Concerts For the People of Kampuchea (1979)

This 1979 concert, organized by Paul McCartney for the people of Cambodia, was well known to many of generation simply because of the resultant compilation released in 1981 on Atlantic Records (below). The movie has also been available since '81, but I've never seen it until recently. Included are the following, and full setlists are available here:

Movie of the Week: Quadrophenia (1979)

Just because I'm finally getting around to reading the Pete Townshend autobiography, Who I Am, which I'm really enjoying, here is Quadrophenia. A great film, but you already knew that, right?

Movie of the Week: Made in England (1966)

According to the poster, this is about 40 minutes of French television from 1966. It includes The Merseys, Georgie Fame (always welcome around here) with some Memphis-style horns, the Who, one very hip French DJ, and some other treats. The Georgie Fame footage looks to be from a similar collection of footage from the Ram Jam Club that we saw back in January when I posted this amazing film of Junior Walker and the All Stars. Otherwise I've had difficulty digging up any info on this. Maybe Bedazzled knows?

Movie of the Week: Ready Steady Go! Vol. 1

Here's a nice comp of performances from the 1960's on Ready Steady Go! Included are The Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, The Rolling Stones, Cilla Black, Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames, Billy Fury, The Who, The Searchers, The Animals, Them, Dusty Springfield, Lulu, Sandie Shaw, and Peter Cook & Dudley Moore.
