Tells the story of Canadian Music in the 1970s, a groundbreaking era of great sounds, from glam and progressive rock to punk and reggae. Set in the formative years of Canada's music industry, THIS BEAT GOES ON offers a jukebox full of chart-topping songs, from Gordon Lightfoot's "Sundown" and Burton Cummings "Stand Tall" to Trooper's "Raise A Little Hell" and Loverboy's "Turn Me Loose". Mixing archival footage with candid interviews, the documentary features proven hitmakers like Anne Murry, April Wine, and the Guess Who as well as a wealth of new folksingers, blues artists, and mullet-rockers. Solo artists like Joni Mitchell and progressive artists like Rush still rule but it's also a time of shaved heads and skinny ties, as punk and new wave artists push their way into the spotlight. By the end of the decade, the Can-rock reloution has arrived. From BTO to DOA This Beat Goes On presents the wealth of music that sprang from the Great White North during the explosive Seventies.
