Coming to the RFC: "Smashing Pumpkins: If All Goes Wrong," November 8
Originally uploaded by Robinson Film Center
Throughout the month of November, The Robinson Film Center will be hosting a selection of exclusive HD rock and folk concert documentaries in our largest theater, says Chris Jay. These one night-only presentations feature concert performances, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with the artists and fans. In many instances, such as SMASHING PUMPKINS: IF ALL GOES WRONG and THE WHO: LIVE AT KILBURN 1977, the RFC is one of ten or less cinemas in the nation in which the performances are being broadcast.
All presentations have brand-new soundtracks, remastered for theatrical-quality presentation. Images from all of these performances can be found on our Flickr page.
As an avid music fan, I'm excited about all of these performances, but I have to elaborate on one or two of them in particular. The Who performance from 1977 is an absolute dream setlist. When you get "Baba O'Reilly," "Pinball Wizard," "My Generation," and "Won't Get Fooled Again" all in a row...as a Who fan, that's just cloud nine. It's also one of drummer Keith Moon's final performances.
The Bob Dylan performance includes what is arguably one of the most important moments in rock history, when Dylan plugged in and went electric at the Newport Folk Festival in '65.

10-4 on the Who film. I want to see several of them, but......one of Moon's last gigs.........
I don't think I've ever seen a better concert than the Who in 1972........when they lost Moonie, it just wasnt the same.
