Music On TV - Documentaries/Live Performances

Some classic guitar bands (!) on BBC4, with Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Average White Band and the Motels all with repeat performances.

BBC2 from 20.10 - o2.45 we have various Cure Docs & Concerts, with Later sandwiched between them at 22.30.

BBC 2 - 20.05 Ultimate Cover Versions at the BBC Volume 2 & then at 22.50 Ultimate Cover Versions at the BBC, I can only assume that that proceeds the first showing, so why they are aired in reverse order is beyond me.

BBC 2 - 10.05 Later
Featuring one of my all-time favourite bands Pixies.

The newer one will air first, the older one later. Some of these recent Saturday night marathon compilations have been better than others.

also you watch the longer one and think "why didn't they put these in the 1st show?" I know I did.

Many repeats on BBC4 tonight, from Neil Diamond and Ray Davies, to Simple Minds and KT Tunstall (bit early for St Andrews Day, but who knows what they might play in a fortnight)

Blues on SA with Otis Rush.

A new doc on Band Aid tonight on BBC4 at 9, followed by CMA highlights and Kenny Rogers in concert.

Or you might prefer AC bloody DC on SA at half 10, with the Yardbirds on SA tomorrow night.

More live repeats (?) on BBC4 with Madness, the Killers, Teenage Fanclub and New Order, whilst SA have a lengthy Sheryl Crow concert instead.

Just been watching Dua Lipa's full orchestra concert at The Royal Albert Hall, that was on ITV Sunday night.

Not the natural environment of your average pop princess, but she owned it, and with style
Some background stuff as well. Classy lady, and definately not your average pop princess.

It's George Michael in concert on BBC4 tonight, Freddie and Queen on channel 5, and ELO on Sky arts.
