Critically analyze, interpret, evaluate, compare and contrast three different video performances by a selected rock artist or rock band of your choice, based on the historical and critical scholarship of rock music as presented in the class and text. (Reminder: choose three performances by ONE artist/band.)
In your paper, emphasize messages found in the lyrics, including any social, political or diversity messages. Write about the basic music characteristics and entertainment qualities exhibited in the videos. Give examples of how the performances differ and explain what similarities you find in the different performances. The paper will also include brief biographical information about the artist or band. You may compare and contrast the audience, venue, video and recording quality, performance quality and content of the three sources.
