不列颠前卫摇滚-对三个运动的一个观察

Prog Rock Britannia is a comprehensive, feature-length documentary about progressive music and the generation of bands that made it - from the international success stories of Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson and Jethro Tull, to the trials and tribulations of the lesser-known bands such as Caravan and Egg.


　　The film is structured in three parts, charting the birth, rise and decline of a movement famed for complex musical structures, weird time signatures, technical virtuosity and strange – quintessentially English – literary influences.


　　It looks at the psychedelic pop scene that gave birth to progressive rock in the late Sixties, the golden age of progressive music in the early Seventies – complete with drum solos and gatefold record sleeves – and the over-ambition, commercialisation and eventual fall from grace of this rarefied musical experiment at the hands of punk in 1977.


　　The documentary is a provocative, humorous but affectionate re-appraisal of a music that was the value system of an all-too-brief period in British popular music

be different, be difficult, be awkward. show off.

可惜没有fripp和Peter Gabriel出境

导演花了很多笔墨吹kc和ELP正合我意哈哈，通过这个老头们回忆式的描述了解了前卫摇滚从萌芽到风靡一时到被人推下神坛的历程，结合当时的社会背景，对prog有了更清晰的了解了。当跟随纪录片的视角从台前走到台后时，我认识了每个老头性格还有他们的可爱之处，哎前卫摇滚和老头们真是太好了，希望他们能够快乐长寿啊?

越来越爱披头士和Prog。之前曾经以为他们对Groupie没兴趣……我还是太天真_(•̀ω•́ 」∠)_

所谓的莽之创新与认真精神 也就存在于特定的时代了吧

这片子相当好玩，对kingcrimson评价很到位，我只能说：这么多年终于看见一个前卫音乐纪录片了！！不过没落得让人难过啊。

结尾挺伤感。时代变革推动着音乐潮流的改变，但是大浪淘沙之后，金子仍然是金子。

60年代末70年代初的那个“只看重这件事本身”的纯真年代

一个属于真正的音乐家的时代 记住这些名字：King Crimson, ELP, Yes

大不列颠搅基王国靠着摇滚巨星和足球流氓就能一统江湖。

很棒的纪录片！虽然没字幕。。虽然还有些人对不上号。。特别是采访了好几支坎特伯雷之声的乐队一个都没听过= = 不过看到了不少老前摇现场，KC shock！ELP太疯了！三大集装箱设备！Carl Palmer电子鼓表演太炫了，Rick Wakeman有张年轻时候照片一眼看上去还以为是个金发美女= =

关于前摇滚，但却不是很完整……就觉得缺了点啥，看的不爽。
