"Take a Walk on the Wild Side with the definitive look at the career and influence of the quintessential New York rocker, Lou Reed. Overflowing with archival performance footage, American Masters: Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart spans over three decades; from the formation of the Velvet Underground, to his extensive solo career, to his most recent work - a collaboration on the futuristic rock opera Time Rocker. Interviews with Reed, his friends and band members provide personal insights of the man who gave us such classic songs as Heroin, Sweet Jane and the infamous Walk on the Wild Side. Major artists who comment on Reed's influence include David Bowie, David Byrne, Pattis Smith, Suzanne Vega, Dave Stewart and Philip Glass. American Masters: Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart is as much an engrossing portrait of the artist as it is a walk through the turbulent and fascinating times that shape his music."

ANDY WARHOL
"South Bank Show", documentary by Kim Evans, 76 minutes, UK, 1987
- DVD Region 1 NTSC, R M Arts / Image Entertainment ID5807RADVD, USA, December 12, 2000
The "Underground Filmmaking" chapter features snippets of Andy Warhol's film The Velvet Underground and Nico (aka Symphony of Sound).
"This special film presents the first major profile of Andy Warhol's life and work since his death in February 1987 and includes some previously unseen footage of the artist, shot in London shortly before his death.
Warhol's was the classic American rags to riches story: he was born in the industrial slums of Pittsburgh - the child of poor Czech immigrants. He grew up dreaming of Hollywood stars and eventually became a star himself, famous for his Pop Art (his "Campbell's Soup Can" being the most enduring image), his bizarre underground films and for being a celebrity who for 20 years attended every party in town. He was the joker, they said, who would turn up for the opening of an envelope.
This film shows Warhol performing for the media in interviews ranging over 25 years and examines his artistic achievements in a career which spanned painting, film, publishing, rock music and television. It includes extracts from films such as Chelsea Girls, Lonesome Cowboys and Women in Revolt, archive material, newsreel footage and contributions from many of his closest associates and superstars including Ondine, Viva, John Giorno and Brigid Berlin."

DVD Region 0 NTSC, American Home Treasures 30586-D, April 29, 2003
"The Exploding Plastic Inevitable" chapter offers interviews with Paul Morrissey and John Cale, and film excerpts ('Moe In Bondage', The Velvet Underground & Nico, Ron Nameth's Andy Warhol's E.P.I., Jonas Mekas' Scenes From The Life Of Andy Warhol).
"Campbell's soup cans, drug addicts-turned-celebrities and a Day-Glo Marilyn Monroe: these are some of the ground-breaking images from Andy Warhol's artistic vision. Despite his position at the epicenter of pop culture. the artist himself remained an enigma - until now.
This is the definitive look at the life and creative world of a revolutionary who influenced the 20th century in everything from painting to film to music. Re-live the strobe-lit. amphetamine-fueled "scene" of 1960's New York as Warhol transforms his outrageous group of friends into the stars of his movies and paintings.
Here is your invitation into Warhol's fabulous inner circle, where both high and lowbrow converge beneath the banner of celebrity and everyone gets to be famous for fifteen minutes."
