Woodstock: Now & Then
Wednesday, November 25 08:00 PM
Thursday, November 26 12:00 AM
In the summer of 1969, on a farm about 90 miles north of New York City,
more than 500,000 people gathered for a three day music festival that in
an instant, defined a generation and changed popular culture
forever...Woodstock. This special explores the frenzied days leading up
to and throughout the festival, from how the planners scrambled to find
a concert site and the traffic jams that shut down the New York State
thruway to the infamously bad "brown acid," the thunderous rain and mud
and, of course, the music. Weaving together first-hand accounts with
rare archival images and an iconic soundtrack, the documentary allows
those who were there a chance to relive the experience and gives an
entirely new generation an opportunity to feel the magic of that time.

The Beatles on Record
Wednesday, November 25 10:00 PM
Thursday, November 26 02:00 AM
Sunday, November 29 05:00 PM
In 1962, an unknown group from Liverpool entered Abbey Road Studios to
record their debut single. During the next eight years they created what
is arguably regarded as the greatest collection of studio recordings of
the 20th century. This special charts The Beatles' extraordinary
journey in the studio from "Please Please Me" to "Abbey Road" and
reflects on how they developed as musicians, matured as songwriters and
created a body of work that sounds as fresh in 2009 as the time it was
recorded. Narrated entirely by John, Paul, George, Ringo and Sir George
Martin, the documentary features over 60 classic songs, rare footage and
photos from The Beatles' archives and never heard before out-takes of
studio chat from the "Abbey Road" recording sessions.
