I thought this was a great collection of young rock 'n' roll artists from the fifties and sixties. It was fun to see bands like The Beatles, The Who and The Rolling Stones before they became household names today. These bands were so young, with long hair and just appealed to the crowds with their types and styles of music. The video was mostly in black and white and I could appreciate some of the great quality that was used back in that time. I think one of the best shots in the video was when it catapulted to the present and was making comparisons of how the rock 'n' roll music was affecting the United States of America. The United States would certainly become the focal point because this was were those bands would get the riches, fame and fortune that they worked so hard to achieve. This video was a great look back at old school rock 'n' roll and I really enjoyed it.
