- čas přidán 15. 10. 2011
- Documentary first shown on Channel 4 in 2005, looking at the most prized records in John Peel's huge record collection, which he kept stored in a special box. Looks at the music and artistes featured in those special records and at the music tastes of John Peel. Also includes interviews with family and friends, including wife Sheila Ravenscroft, son Tom (who was also involved in its production) and brother Alan; DJs Mary Anne Hobbs, Paul Gambaccini and Marc Riley; artists Elton John, Ronnie Wood (Faces), Roger Daltrey (Who), Fergal Sharkey (Undertones), Jack White (White Stripes), Mark E. Smith and Brixa Smith (Fall), Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt (Status Quo), Billy Bragg, Damon Albarn (Blur) and Pete Wylie (Wah!); plus schoolmate Michael Palin.
"John Peels is the most important DJ of all time" - I recon he might be right. No one can replace him in any truly meaningful way.
John played my records, and I know it sounds selfish, but I felt really happy when I first heard my unknown band played on the radio. I just assumed that we would never be on the radio. If we were a new band now, we wouldn't. Thanks John.
You prolly dont care at all but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
@@maddensterling630 The best advice I can give is to stop using Instagram.
As a teen in the late 70s early 80s I used to listen to Peel every night in bed. He introduced me to so many bands that I loved then and still love today. Without John I dont think I would have the love of music that I have today. I own this man a lot.
Yes, me and hubby share the same view as you.
Top bloke, he introduced me to Dammed, Clash, then reggae, and there I am stuck! Miss his mon to thursday night broadcast, screwed up my school staying up so late with finger poised over the record button. Blessed his memory
He opened my eyes to music I would otherwise never have heard of. Laura Cantrell, The Moonlighters, Stringbuilder, the list goes on and on. I'm still feeling the loss. He had a tremendous impact on my perception of music, art and in general. Seeking out the hidden gems in everything. The Pig's big 78...oh, I miss those days.... I was fortunate enough to have a request read on air by the man himself 10 years ago. I still have the mp3 soundbite. It's a fond memory of a grand man :-)
The inspiration to the soundtrack of my life. Much missed
Heard John Peels Music in the late 70's & eary 80's midnights on BFBS ( British Radio Station in West Germany)
The best DJ ever, how I miss this kind of music collectors with professional competence
Thanks John , always in my mind
miss u peely
A huge influence on my music tastes. John Peel the Sound track to generations of youth. wonder what he would have made of my crimson pomegranates stuff which ironically I started a week after he died and yes I live at Peel Cottage in the Tyne Valley.
He changed my life.
he's my grandad
ashley ravenscroft Really, what's your name?
Is this Archie?
Yes my daddy xxxx
ashley ravenscroft your grandad is peter Powell
He's my uncle. Hey Ashley
Defo the first British DJ to play White Stripes. Still got the tape.
My life would have been poorer were it not for this man.
I am lucky enough to have my record in this box...Mike Spenser and the Cannibals, "Good Guys" and "Nothing Takes the Place Of Your". You can hear Good Guys at 1:45 - 1:51...
How the fuck he has not been inducted into the Rock n Roll hall of fame i will never understand.
Thanx to Pig for open up these precious
Box!
I've never seen this, I feel a bit weird now. There's a mural of him in a bub in Brighton that always makes me smile. New bands play there, by the way.
Pure cool guy!RIP
Happy Birthday, John!
He liked a raw ,honest guitar sound. like 6000 crazy.
so much more than just a dj he was one on his own
Although it was his professional title, calling him a mere "DJ" feels almost like an insult -- like calling Michael Jordan a basketball player or Nelson Mandela a freedom-fighter or Pablo Picasso a painter or Sean Connery an actor or Bruce Lee a martial artist. There are just those very rare people who are so important to the vocation or avocation that they choose to pursue that after so many years devoting every ounce of their being to it almost transcend it. John Peel was, and still is*, that to the profession of radio disk-jockey. His level of skill and degree of knowledge in all things related to music and the promotion and archiving thereof is truly unmatched. The closest thing that we here in the States have to someone like Peel is Alan Lomax, the Depression-era music archivist contracted by the Smithsonian (thru one of FDR's WPA recovery programs) to record Folk, Blues, Country-Western, Jazz, Gospel, and Bluegrass music from all around the country (but especially focused on the rural Deep South, Gulf region, Appalachia, "Bible Belt", and Great Plains). As much as he and his work are a national treasure to we Americans, Peel is equally a national treasure for you UKers. He shaped the music-consumption culture in your country and beyond over the course of half a century -- from the Psychedelic '60s all the way thru to the Garage Rock revival of the 20-aughts and covering the Prog, Glam and Punk '70s, the New Wave and Post-Punk '80s, and the Grunge '90s in between. No small feat, if you ask me!
(*thru the magic of the internet and AV archive sites like CZcams)
legend
first dj to play most decent rock n roll artists. Great memories from the post punk late 70s/early 80s. Joy Division, early Bunnymen, The Fall, Gang of Four etc. etc. Although Roger Hill at BBC Radio Merseyside is arguably even better. Peely with quality control really. Check him out at PMSradio. Been there for 30 years and going from strength to strength.
Earth Angel.
@thedene Yes he first played them back in 2000, when the White Stripes were totally unknown.
I had to double take. John's brother. 4:02
Speaks just like him, doesn't he?
He would be turning in his grave to see the appalling abomination of a so called record player used for playing his 7 inchers!
I believe it's Al Casey - "Surfin Hootenanny". Al Casey used to copy the guitar style playing of Duane Eddy and Dick Dale.
I learned about the man a decade ago but only saw his name, now, I'm getting more knowledge about him. Rest in peace. What is the name of the song @ 0:14?
Such A Beautiful Thing Roshell Anderson
15
@clivedxb He played some music, which made me want to listen it over and over again
We got Elton John, Jack White, Michael Palin, Status Quo,... Jesus!
MiCawber 72 and Mary chain !
Please could someone identify the very first song at the top of the programme - it's been bugging me for ages
Iain Nash ....Roshell Anderson ‘Such a beautiful thing’ it’s a flip side
OMG!!!! Don't DESTROY those disc with a record killer. That little machine will KILL these disk!!!! Please, get a real turntable...
This
Vestax Portable has a proper professional needle.
mmmm. maybe i should be checking those white stripes -and i mean not in a glass- if they could come in...i mean, my record cullection (focused in the johnpeel me section, yes).
Yeah...those Beatles....not a minute to soon. Stones too ofcourse...even more so.
2:44
Frames face XD
@thedene you could replace "White Stripes" with hundreds of names
You rock dude
It's "the bopping imp" who hurt John....
'thousands of records'...shows CDs
Oh my dog...yeah, "Trout"....how much I tried,...kept loathing it.Later Beefheart was fucking brilliant ofcourse. But...the early days of "PROG" (which wasn't called that then) had some remarkable pearls...like The Nice,Edgar Broughton.. "the odd gem"...then you didn't check out dub good and proper;after rock'n'roll ,roots reggae (& dub) was one of the most amazing things that happened in music.Still...nice to see you putting it in perspective...undertones anyone ?.....yikes...
its weird being in that room
@clivedxb In saying that I think you speak for a lot of people.
Hear Hear
is Jack White's White Stripes really better than Dexter Romwebber's Flat Dou Jets live?
i don't know that jack White would say yes.
kiely why do you have to compare not just enjoy?
Notice the 2 Mortician cds beside the 45 box, haha weird
8:33 Mortician CDs!!!
That Don French 45 is the Canadian copy of it (:->
Haha, Mortician!
no a god
White stripes? Hmm I lost interest.
It wasn't disturbing, just stupidity. Like a lot of people at the time, he accepted sexual favours from young women and didn't ask questions about the ages of some of them.
Eeeehh mortician...yeeaa
Yes he did play a lot of shite.
Why stinking fucking Elton John?
