Inside Pop -- The Rock Revolution

The Sunset Strip music movement is examined in depth halfway through


Inside Pop -- The Rock Revolution is a CBS News special, broadcast in April 1967. The show was hosted by Leonard Bernstein and is probably one of the first examples of pop music being examined as a "serious" art form. The film features many scenes shot in Los Angeles in late 1966, including interviews with Frank Zappa and Graham Nash, as well as the now-legendary Brian Wilson solo performance of "Surf's Up."

Berstein was one of the leaders of the older classical music generation who supported the rock revolution.

I don't think he's ever identified in the piece, but the guy with whom Mr. Bernstein is having his initial conversation, right at the start of the piece, is Tandyn Almer, Brian Wilson's pal, best remembered for his
composition of "Along Comes Mary." Also, thirty or so minutes in, during the segment on the 1966 Sunset Strip "riots" triggered by the closure (and ultimate destruction) of Pandora's Box, watch for Bobby Jameson commenting on camera. He's wearing a cowboy hat. A bit more Tim Buckley, McGuinn, and Nash would have been nice, but it's sure cool stuff for network television in early '67, probably mostly shot in '66....
