A couple of BBC musical documentaries

I'm not sure whether or not those in the USA can watch these but last week on the 11th Feb, a bunch of musicians gathered at the Abbey Road studios in London to celebrate 50 years since the Beatles recorded their first album Please Please me. The following link is a bbc documentary following last weeks events. If you cannot follow the link then maybe it is on Youtube

After watching this I followed a link to another favourite band of mine - Pink Floyd. This documentary was about the making of the classic album Wish You Were Here. A few songs were dedicated to former Floyd band member Syd Barret. It makes interested watching to any Floyd fans out there. I loved both documentaries
