Pt IV

This edition kicks off with big hits from the Rolling Stones and DavidBowie before taking things down a notch with the acoustic picking ofMichael Chapman and the Irish mysticism of Horslips.

However, it's not long before the likes of Motorhead, Nazareth andstraight up blues-rocker George Thorogood turn the volume right back upto 11. A spot of flamenco from Paco De Lucia and a classic track fromStrat-master Eric Clapton round off the show.

Filmed in the 1970s for shows including Top of the Pops, Parkinson,Rock Goes to College and The Old Grey Whistle Test, these rockingtracks will leave you wondering why pianos were ever invented.
