Ron Delsener Presents
Ron Delsener Presents takes us behind-the-curtain through the last half century of the live music business, chronicling the tactics that drove live performance from disorganized, low-fi events to international tours, arenas, and, eventually, into a global empire. Now, at 86 years old, Ron’s still in the game, working in the now-multi-billion industry he helped to create. Sure, he could stop - he maybe even should. But Ron doesn’t know how.

Frank Zappa: Baby Snakes
This is older footage, and the material may contain quality issues. Frank Zappa is a genius and passage by passage this film is marvellous when it isn't outright brilliant…what's good in this film, is very good. Bruce Brickford's clay animation is particularly outstanding, and Zappa is generous with it, as well as offering interview footage of the furry-humoured, eloquently stoned Bickford himself. The rest of the film is a concert given in New York City, a very good one, with audience participation and all kinds of lively touches. Everyone in Zappa's band has an acute and effective sense of theatre. F. X. Feeney, L. A. Times 1983.
