When You're Strange is a 2009 documentary about The Doors. It is written and directed by Tom DiCillo and for the first time makes material from Jim Morrison's 1969 film fragment HWY: An American Pastoral publicly available.

Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek has stated that "This will be the true story of the Doors," and that the film will be "the anti-Oliver Stone," referring to the 1991 film about the group that Stone directed, and which drew criticism from many Doors fans and several people who knew Morrison.

Johnny Suede is a young man with an attitude and an immense pompadour, who wants to be a rock n' roll star like his idol Ricky Nelson. He has all the stylistic accoutrements, except a pair of black suede shoes. One night, after leaving a nightclub, like manna from heaven, a pair of black suede shoes falls at his feet. Soon afterward, the recently completed Johnny meets Darlette, a sultry bohemian with whom he beds down for the night. In spite of Darlette's abusive gun-toting boyfriend, Johnny begins to see Darlette every day. But when Johnny is forced to pawn his guitar for rent money, Darlette mysteriously leaves him. Johnny's pal Deke fronts him the money to get his guitar out of hock, and the two form a band. Depressed about Darlette's desertion, he wanders aimlessly, and he meets Yvonne, a woman much wiser than Johnny who teaches him that there are things in life much more important than a pair of black suede shoes.

The opening of the movie features footage from the New York press conference, held at Allen Klein's ABKCO offices five days before the concerts, during which Harrison and Ravi Shankar discuss the upcoming shows. Harrison is asked by a reporter: "With all the enormous problems in the world, how did you happen to choose this one to do something about?" "Because I was asked by a friend if I would help, you know – that's all," is his reply.

Contrairement à leur nom, leur musique est célèbre dans le monde entier. Connu sous le nom des Funk Brothers, leur tempo inimitable - la soul - se retrouve sur d'innombrables morceaux produits par Motown Records pour des chanteurs aussi légendaires que Diana Ross and The Supremes, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye, The Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, et beaucoup d'autres. Synonyme de toute une époque, leur musique fut au coeur du mouvement civique, des protestations contre la guerre du Vietnam et des bouleversements sociaux des années 60 et 70. Ces musiciens jouèrent sur plus de disque numéro un du top 50 que les Beatles, les Beach Boys, les Rolling Stones et Elvis Presley réunis.

La tournée révolutionnaire. Les cinq membres originaux du groupe Alice Cooper filmés en direct. Le show de 1973 "Billion Dollar Babies" était la première du genre. Aucun autre groupe n'avait jamais apporté une production théâtrale plus chère et plus élaborée sur la scène rock - et en a rarement eu depuis. "Good To See You Again" a été réalisé lors de la tournée Billion Dollar Babies qui combine de superbes séquences de concert avec une histoire scandaleuse, et présente également les débuts d'acteur du groupe.
