Billy Joel: Live At Yankee Stadium
A native New Yorker (and avid baseball fan), Billy Joel was the first pop/rock performer allowed to play The House That Ruth Built. Filmed over two incredible nights, the show features performances including “New York State of Mind”, “Piano Man”, “Storm Front”, and “A Matter of Trust and Shout”.

Amazing Grace
In 1972, Aretha Franklin, the undisputed Queen of Soul, recorded an album of gospel music at The New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Los Angeles. Few realised that the inspirational sessions had not only been recorded, but also had been filmed by Oscar winning Sydney Pollack. Due to technical problems, the film has never been seen – until now.
