7/10
Some great live performances
21 May 2022
Just finished watching this, as a kid in the late 1970's to mid 80's I was very much into both the British ska and punks scenes so I found this documentary by a German film maker quite interesting. The Sex Pistols, for me one of the most important bands in rock history, open up but they serve just to mark the end of 70's punk so that the film can concentrate on the British post- punk scene. There are interviews and live footage of artists that include The Clash, The Jam, The Police, Boomtown Rats, The Specials, The Selector, Madness, Ian Dury, Tubeway Army and The Pretenders, Well worth watching for this. However, as one other reviewer has mentioned, tagging Ray Davies of The Kinks on the end seems out of place. Hardly an in-depth documentary but British Rock does to quite an extent rock!
