This lively documentary celebrates 1950s rock 'n' roll, both through archival clips of the era and concert footage filmed during the '70s. Although the musicians have aged, the performances are remarkably vibrant, with many acts in fine form. Among the many artists featured are Bill Haley and the Comets, Fats Domino, the Shirelles, Little Richard, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry. In one of the film's highlights, Diddley and Berry take the stage together to the applause of a rapt audience.

Audience Member Immensely entertaining. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Blast from the past! Several pioneers of 1950's rock appear in a single concert with some film & newsreel excerpts to remind (or teach us youngsters) what societal and personal angsts were common back in the day. Enjoy these performances from a time when the performers were still youthful enough to own that rock they rolled. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
