Ed Sullivan's Rock 'N' Roll Classics

Three-DVD set with 58 highlights from the legendary Ed Sullivan's long-running Saturday night TV show, released in November 2005. The three discs are divided into genre schools, with the first covering R&B Greats, Legends of Soul, Sounds of the Cities (more soul) and Fabulous Females; the second offers Folk Rock, Groovy Sounds (Young Rascals, Turtles, Fifth Dimension, etc.), West Coast Rock and a full segment on the Mamas & the Papas; the third presents The Bad Boys of Rock 'n' Roll (Stones, Brown, the Animals, Bo Diddley and Jerry Lee Lewis), Gone Too Soon (Elvis, Janis Joplin, the Carpenters, etc.), the Lennon & McCartney Songbook (artists covering the Beatles' catalog) and Great Groups.

This is the first of the many Sullivan video releases that includes The Band's live performance of "Up on Cripple Creek" from 1969. See page 204 in Levon's book for more about their TV appearance.
