With classics such as "The Great Pretender," "Only You," and their rendition of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," the Platters were one of the preeminent doo wop groups of the rock & roll era. Under the guidance of manager and producer Buck Ram, the Platters churned out hit after hit during the 1950s, bridging the gap between more traditional vocal-group stylings and the popular R&B grooves of the early '50s. Their sound was unique, marked by lead singer Tony Williams' powerful vocals and the feminine touch of singer Zola Taylor. Although competing versions of the Platters confused the public for many years, original founding member Herb Reed eventually solidified his rights to the name and the group continued recording and performing into the 2010s.

GERMAN TV SPECIAL FROM 1981 Iron Maiden’s Killer World Tour ran from 17 February to 15 November 1981. It would be the band's first world jaunt, including as it did their debut shows in North America (where they supported Judas Priest) and Japan, where they recorded the live release, Maiden Japan. The band moved into larger venues in the United Kingdom, including at London’s Hammersmith Odeon. This would be Iron Maiden's last tour with singer Paul Di'Anno, who was dismissed shortly afterwards due to his unreliability. He was replaced with Samson vocalist Bruce Dickinson, with whom the band undertook a short series of concerts in Italy and the UK before they set about writing and recording their next album, The Number of the Beast. The tour kicked off with numerous UK dates, followed by shows in France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. But prior to the tour starting, Maiden had performed a TV special for the German Beat Club series in Bremen. The performance was aired while the band were touring Germany, on 29th April. Still regarded as Iron Maiden’s finest ever TV appearance, the show remains a favourite among fans, and the entire event is now released on this new CD title for the first time.

After ushering in the era of pop-metal with their 1986 blockbuster Slippery When Wet and its hit singles "You Give Love a Bad Name," "Wanted Dead or Alive," and "Living on a Prayer," Bon Jovi wound up transcending the big-haired '80s, withstanding changes in style and sound to become one of the biggest American rock bands of their time. Unlike a lot of their big-haired pop-metal peers, Bon Jovi's appeal wasn't limited to the States. Slippery When Wet, its 1988 sequel New Jersey, and 1992's Keep the Faith all were international smashes, each selling over ten-million copies worldwide. Another way they differed from other MTV favorites of the late '80s lies in how Bon Jovi cannily and subtly changed their sounds to fit the time. First, the group slowly lessened their reliance on arena rock guitars, emphasizing melody and ballads without rejecting hard rock. They incorporated elements of soft rock and country, moves that helped the band sustain their popularity into the 21st century.

Performed live at The Summit in Houston, Texas on November 6th 1976, The Eagles had struck gold and were flying high with Hotel California, one of the best-selling albums ever at 26-times platinum, having twice cracked the top 40 on Rolling Stone's list of 'The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.' Recently joined by ex-James Gang firebrand Joe Walsh, the accompanying tour saw the band at the height of their artistic and commercial powers and the Texas show is a compelling example of this iconic period. Timeline proudly presents The Eagles performing their clic hits and more in Texas, 1976.

Following his majestic revival in the mid-late 1980s, Paul Simon’s slowing of pace during the next decade was not to be unexpected. After the universal acclaim received for both Graceland in 1986 and The Rhythm Of The Saints in 1990 - notably with regard to the manner in which Simon blended Western popular music with African and South American styles - the singer-songwriter performed a staggering 116 shows in 1991. The climax of this tour had been his famous ‘Concert in Central Park’ in New York on 15th August ‘91, which was attended by over 750,000 fans, making it one of the biggest audiences in music history. Rhythm of the Saints would be Simon’s last studio album for seven years, as he spent most of the decade working on The Capeman, a Broadway musical based on the life of Brooklyn gang member Salvador Agrón, which eventually saw a release in 1998.

The Eagles were unquestionably the biggest mainstream American rock band to emerge in the 1970s. Not only did they sell more records and concert tickets than their peers – Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) and Hotel California are two of the biggest-selling albums of all time – but they captured the shifting zeitgeist of the '70s, riding the country-rock hippie hangover at the end of the '60s until it reached the slick, expensive, and expansive pop/rock of Southern California in the late '70s.

Alexis Weissenberg If one wanted to make a biographical feature film about a classical musician, the life of the Bulgarian-American-French pianist Alexis Weissenberg would furnish ideal subject material. Born in Sofia in 1929, Weissenberg was taught to play the piano by his mother. Several members of her family were Vienna Conservatory-trained musicians, and Weissenberg grew up in an environment where the sight-reading of chamber music was as common as watching television is for most children today. His second piano teacher was a disciplinarian dentist, his third Bulgaria's top composer and pedagogue, Pancho Vladigerov, at whose house Weissenberg heard Dinu Lipatti perform.At age 10, Weissenberg gave his first recital, performing, among other works, an etude of his own composition. Shortly thereafter, Weissenberg and his mother attempted to flee Bulgaria for Turkey as fascist terror deepened. They were caught and thrown in a concentration camp. "Only three elements remained constant," Weissenberg recalled. "Silence, singing, and crying." What saved the pair was an accordion Weissenberg had been given as a gift by an aunt.
