Various Artists “The Rock Scene – Like it Is” (CBC Television show) Broadcast Date: October 16, 1967 Sponsor: The O’Keefe Centre Host: Noel Harrison Starring: The Jefferson Airplane Eric Andersen The Doors Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66 Dionne Warwick This TV show is a superb time capsule from the late 1960s. It features performances (mostly lip-synched, as was the norm at the time) from some of the day’s contemporary musicians. It’s truly “of the moment” and really is a treat to watch. The performances were taped at the CBC’s Toronto studios in August and September, 1967. From the telecast, here is the introductory statement from host Noel Harrison: “Our show tonight is about “today.” It’s about the freeing of the mind through lyrics, poetry, music, sights and sounds. You don’t have to like everything you see; and that is indeed a part of the philosophy of today. Today is where you are, whether you like it or not, so look at it. We’re going to show you some of the young talent that is pushing back the frontiers and finding a whole new scene for themselves.” From pre-broadcast interview with Harrison in the Globe and Mail: “I think it’s going to be the best popular music program ever produced on TV” Harrison said. “It’s honest; isn’t trying to feed anybody any lines. The English have no money to do this type of thing; the Americans get panicky. Yeah, Canadian TV seems much more open. The media in the States are worried only about creating the effect. Up here they give us enough time to record.” This TV show was liberated from the CBC archives in about 1995.
