Bob Harris introduces the programme and the first item (1.03). Horslips, in BBC studio, perform 'Dearg Doom' (4.07). Harris introduces track from Maggie Bell's new album (4.28). Bell performs 'Oh My My', sound only, accompanied by clip from silent Lupino Lane comedy, possibly GOOD-NIGHT NURSE (1928), with Lane visiting surgery of nerve specialist, latter played by Wallace Lupino (7.10). Harris interviews Bell in studio, talking about the recording of the new album and why it was undertaken in New York and not Britain; how this was the third attempt to actually record it; who she worked with in the US on the album; how she chose what songs to include on the album; and her desire to get back on the road, for which she has put together a new band (13.07). Harris introduces footage of Joe Walsh by talking about his solo albums after he left The James Gang, and how he has postponed his tour of Britain for the moment owing to the 'energy' problems here (13.59).

Walsh is accompanied by a bass player, drummer and two keyboard players and percussionists (23.00). Harris introduces Roy Harper, who is sitting on a high stool behind him (23.30). A rather disoriented Harper, on acoustic guitar, performs 'Commune' (28.38) and 'North Country' (32.18). Without any introduction from Harris (possibly owing to footage of Harper being cut through his rather erratic performance) the programme goes straight into a clip of experimental animation accompanied by Canned Heat's 'You Am What You Am' on the soundtrack (36.37). Harris talks about Canned Heat's forthcoming British tour and the following week's programme, and introduces the final item (37.11). Horslips, in BBC studio, perform 'Faster Than The Hound', with the programme's credits superimposed over latter part of number (42mins 52secs). Note: Horslips appear to be miming.

Group Babe Ruth, in BBC studio, perform 'Cool Jerk' (see note at end of synopsis for line-up) (3.19).

Harris introduces Loggins and Messina in footage taken from the US television show Superstars Of Rock (8.45). Loggins and Messina, with backing band, perform 'Thinking of You' (mistakenly introduced by Harris as 'You've Got Me Thinking of You') (11.05).

Harris talks about how he has recently been in the US to record a series of interviews for the programme by way of introducing the following item; an interview with Rick Wakeman and Steve Howe, conducted in New York on the current tour of group Yes (19.25). Wakeman and Howe talk about the previous evening's concert at Madison Square Garden and the tour as a whole; the size of the tour and the numbers of people involved; the logistics of the tour in the US and the problems encountered owing to its size; how they concentrate on the music in a long three-hour concert; whether there will be a new Yes album that year; Wakeman's cutting of his own new solo album; and what they will be doing at the end of the tour (26.25).

Babe Ruth, in BBC studio, perform 'Gimme Some Leg', with programme's credits over latter part of number (43mins 6 secs). Notes: Both Babe Ruth and Loggins and Messina appear to be miming. Although the vocals are live the music is not, as the groups appear to be playing to pre-recorded tracks. Babe Ruth consist of guitar, drums, bass, and a female singer. On 'Cool Jerk' they are accompanied by a trumpeter and trombonist; on 'Gimme Some Leg', that horn section is replaced by a keyboard player and a percussionist. Kenny Loggins and Jim Messina are both on guitar and vocals, with the backing group of Merel Bregante (drums), Larry Sims (bass), Al Garth (violin on first number, saxophone on second) and Jon Clarke (clarinet on first number, saxophone on second). Bonnie Raitt's name is misspelt 'Bonne Raith' in the end credits.

Fleetwood Mac, 'The City', sound only, accompanied by black and white archival film of congested New York streets (7.55). Harris talks about how group 10cc are one of the finest bands to emerge in this country during the past year (8.28). Footage of 10cc filmed at the Hard Rock, Manchester, performing 'Old Wild Men' (this appears to be a promotional film and not live concert footage) (12.07). Harris talks about Alquin's new tour and album (12.37). Alquin, in BBC studio, perform 'Dance'. There are six members in the band: guitar, bass, keyboards, drums, saxophone/vocals, and saxophone, flute, percussion (25.31). Harris introduces the next item (25.51). Hot Tuna, 'Soliloquy For Two', sound only, accompanied by experimental animation (29.09). Harris introduces clip from film ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK featuring Bill Haley and his Comets (29.31). Brief clip from the film, with band performing the title track, although they are only seen in the background, with dancers in the foreground (30.25). Harris interviews Bill Haley in BBC studio, talking about when the film was made (1956) and how it was five years after he had actually started making recordings, also having had at least eleven hits before 'Rock Around The Clock'; his move from Essex Records to Decca in 1954; his early recordings, especially 'Crazy, Man, Crazy', which combined country and western with rhythm and blues, and thus breaking barriers between black and white styles of music; how he never gets tired of performing 'Rock Around The Clock'; and how he still has a number of members from the 1950s band in the current line-up of his group (35.24). Harris introduces the next item (35.41). Canned Heat, in BBC studio, perform 'We Remember Fats', a medley of Fats Domino numbers (40.47). Harris closes the programme and introduces the final item (41.29). Van Morrison, with backing band, performing 'Caravan' live, filmed at the Rainbow Theatre, London, in 1973 (50mins 13secs). Notes: Both Canned Heat and Alquin appear to be miming. Although the vocals are live the music is not, as the groups appear to be playing to pre-recorded tracks. Canned Heat consists of eight members: two guitars, bass, keyboards, drums, trombone, saxophone, and Bob 'The Bear' Hite, who is lead vocalist on 'We Remember Fats' and backing vocalist on 'One More River To Cross'. The lead vocals on the latter are taken by one of the guitarists.
