This Beat Goes On tells the story of Canadian music in the  1970s, a ground-breaking 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, from Gordon Lightfoot's  "Sundown" and Nick Gilder's "Hot Child in the City" to Trooper's "Raise a Little Hell" and Max Webster's "Paradise Skies."

 Mixing archival footage with candid interviews, the documentary  features proven hitmakers like Anne Murray, Neil Young and The Guess Who as well as a wealth of new folksingers, blues artists and mullet-rockers. Solo artists like Joni Mitchell and  progressive rockers 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 Canadian  rock revolution has arrived.

 From B.T.O. to D.O.A., This Beat Goes On presents the wealth of  music that sprang from the Great White North during the  explosive Seventies.

 MTV and Canada's MuchMusic provide launching pads for artists as
 varied as Triumph, Bruce Cockburn, Chilliwack, Jane Siberry, Men
