Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About ....

Doc on Doors
When You're Strange is the title of a Doors documentary that debuted at the 2009 Sundance festival, and which will get a limited theatrical release in April, and an airing on PBS in May. Most of the footage was supplied by surviving members Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger, and the estate of the late Jim Morrison. Footage includes portions of a film produced by Morrison (UCLA film school graduate) in 1969.

Freak Out With Frank
Frank Zappa's musical roots are explored in depth in the film, The Freak Out List, on DVD available April 20. The timeline begins with film of Zappa's often-cited influences, and ends with rare video and interviews of Zappa and The Mothers. Archival video is augmented by photos, radio spots and news footage.

Rarely Seen Stones
The Rolling Stones Rare and Unseen (DVD, dropping April 20) is a composite of rare and previously unreleased video and photos of the band from various private collections. The DVD includes some very early (1964) footage of founder Brian Jones, and Charlie Watts doing something he rarely does: being interviewed.
