At 2.35 The Specials at The Colchester Institute
Highlights from a concert recorded in December 1979 and originally shown in Rock Goes to College.

At 3.05 The Visitor
Two years ago Mick Fleetwood - the leader and drummer of one of the world's top rock bands, Fleetwood Mac - fulfilled one of his ambitions. He took a party of white rock musicians to Ghana and toured the country meeting both amateur and professional musicians. This documentary is a record of that event and shows how Fleetwood managed to blend the ethnic music of Ghana with the stylised rock music of today's western culture.

And at 3.35 Genesis in Concert
On 7 May 1980 one of Britain's most successful Rock Bands played to a capacity audience at London's Lyceum Ballroom. BBC2's Old Grey Whistle Test team were there to record a memorable evening's music.
