Standard Screen; Soundtrack English While its ratings never matched those of Johnny Carson's THE TONIGHT SHOW, Dick Cavett's 1960s and '70s late-night talk show retains an esteemed spot in the annals of television history for its host's intelligent interview style and historic guest appearances by some of the greatest rock musicians of the era. ROCK ICONS presents a collection of 10 episodes featuring THE DICK CAVETT SHOW's most memorable musical moments, including interviews and performances from George Harrison, Paul Simon, Ravi Shankar, Sly and the Family Stone, and many more. Highlights include a 20-year-old Steve Wonder performing "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" just days after the song's release; a rare TV interview with David Bowie, who performs "Young Americans" with Luther Vandross on backup vocals and David Sanborn on saxophone; three appearances by Janis Joplin, including one with movie star Gloria Swanson and another just two months prior to her death; and a historic episode with David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Jefferson Airplane, and Joni Mitchell recorded the day after Woodstock. Dick Cavett Show - Rock Icons Reviews: "[The] performances soar, like Joni Mitchell's a cappella 'Fiddle and the Drum' and Bowie's 'Young Americans' soul shtick."
-- Chris Willman, Entertainment Weekly "[Cavett] provided a younger and more cerebral alternative to the raucous, Vegas-styled jaw session on the other two networks. Cavett hosted with style, intelligence and decorum..."
-- Tim Lucas, Sight and Sound "[Q]uasi-hipster Cavett took rock seriously and often devoted entire programmes to top stars of the day..."

Dick Cavett Show - Rock Icons review
 $24.29 
Taking the place of the obligatory cd two-fer of GP and GREVIOUS ANGEL, Gram Parsons's THE COMPLETE REPRISE SESSIONS covers it all and then some for Grampires of all stripes. Produced by Emmylou Harris and Parsons cohort James Austin, this beautifully designed three-disc set includes one disc devoted to each solo record and a third featuring outtakes from each album's sessions. With fewer overdubs and Gram and Emmylou's vocals front-and-center in the mix, the final disc brims with the emotive soul and earthbound angelic vocals the two perfected. Among the final discs many highlights are looser alternate takes of "She" and "Streets of Baltimore" from GP and a "Hickory Wind" unadorned by the ridiculous fake crowd noise that mars the GRIEVOUS ...

Dick Cavett Show - Rock Icons DVD
$20.85 
Cream's set of reunion shows in May 2005 was a justly hot ticket. The legendary rock trio of Ginger Baker, Jack Bruce, and Eric Clapton--two jazz musicians and a blues guitarist--was one of the most influential bands of the 1960s, even though they played together for less than three years. They brought their psychedelic fusion of blues and pop into the mainstream with albums like FRESH CREAM and WHEELS OF FIRE; Clapton, long regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of ...

Dick Cavett Show - Rock Icons movie DVD
$17.89 
Dick Cavett's 1960s and '70s late-night talk show retains an esteemed spot in the annals of television history for an extraordinary series of guest appearances by some of the era's greatest rock musicians. Among the show's most memorable musical guests were John Lennon and Yoko Ono, who appeared on three episodes and rewarded Cavett's wit and intelligence with a rare live performance and one of their most candid and sincere interviews ever captured on film.
Airing on September 11, 1971, John and Yoko's first Cavett appearance was historic for being Lennon's first on-camera interview since the Beatles' breakup. Even more remarkably, the trio's conversation was so engrossing that it continued well past the episode's time limit, prompting Cavett to assemble the extra footage into a separate ...

Elton John's second album was his first to be released in the U.S., and the difference between it and its predecessor, EMPTY SKY, is palpable and immediate. ELTON JOHN opens with "Your Song," a halting ballad that is one of the most moving love songs in the modern pop canon. The album also marks ...
