The Song Remains The Same for Vh1

08/15/2008
.
(PR) VH1 Classic is celebrating the 39th anniversary of the 'summer of love' with a weekend of classic rock documentaries and concerts celebrating Woodstock. In tribute VH1 Classic will air Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains The Same, The Last Waltz, Woodstock: The Movie, Lets Spend the Night Together, and U2's Rattle and Hum.

[A few factual problems here. The "Summer Of Love" was in 1967 not 1969 as Vh1 thinks. So that being the case, Led Zeppelin didn't form until a year later and the hippies hated them when they came out! Just go back and read the hippy press like Rolling Stone of the day. Zeppelin helped kill the hippy music trend. The Last Waltz kind of fits since The Band was part of the hippy Frisco scene but this concert didn't happen until well after the "Summer of Love". Woodstock took place two years after the "Summer of Love" and The Stones tour covered in "Let's Spend the Night Together" was almost 15 years after the media glamorized "Summer of Love". Finally, we still have no fricken idea how U2 fits anywhere in the mix, unless the folks at Vh1 writing this stuff are under 25 and think anything before Nirvana somehow fit in with hippies. Now back to the press release]

Air-times: The Song Remains The Same Airs on Friday, August 15 at 8PM ET/PT Led Zeppelin's seminal documentary, The Song Remains The Same, goes behind the scenes of the group's three night run at Madison Square Garden in 1973.

The Last Waltz Airs on Friday, August 15 at 11PM ET/PT The Last Waltz, hailed as one the greatest concert films ever, takes a behind-the-scenes look at the Canadian-American rock group, The Band's farewell performance after touring for 16 years.

Woodstock: The Movie Airs on Saturday, August 16 at 8PM ET/PT Michael Wadleigh's Academy Award-winning 1970's documentary of one of rock and roll's most historic event features The Who, Jimmy Hendrix, Sly And The Family Stone, and Santana among others.
