MTV Rocks

MTV Rocks (formerly MTV Two, MTV2 Europe and M2) is a 24-hour alternative music channel operated by Viacom International Media Networks Europe. The channel is widely available throughout Europe on subscription satellite and digital television services.

Format and history

The structure of the MTV Networks is different in Europe from in the U.S. and so the role that MTV Two plays is somewhat different. The various nation MTV channels remain the flagship channels bringing a wide variety of popular music and many different show formats (including documentaries, reality TV, charts, text shows, and countdowns) however digital satellite in the UK has allowed MTV to operate subsidiary channels with their own specialist areas. So while in the US MTV2 is a varied, slightly alternative channel, in Europe MTV Two is dedicated exclusively to alternative rock and indie, with the occasional alternative hip hop song; while other music output carried on MTV Base, MTV Dance, MTV Hits covering urban music (hip hop, rap, R&B and garage), electronic dance music, and chart music respectively.

History

Gonzo (Muppet)

Gonzo, also known as The Great Gonzo and Gonzo the Great, is a Muppet character known for his eccentric passion for stunt performance. Aside for his trademark enthusiasm for performance art, another defining trait of Gonzo's is the ambiguity of his species, which has become a running gag in the franchise. Commonly referred to as a "whatever" and a "weirdo", Gonzo has been considered to be of various origins; including a Frackle, in his debut appearance on The Great Santa Claus Switch; an avian creature, in the majority of his portrayals; to even extraterrestrial in Muppets from Space, the only Muppet film to feature a character other than Kermit the Frog as the protagonist.

Developed and performed by Dave Goelz, Gonzo made his first appearance in the 1970 special The Great Santa Claus Switch, as the "Cigar Box Frackle". Originally a minor figure in The Muppet Show, he soon evolved into one of the franchise's primary characters. Gonzo has appeared in every Muppet film, including The Muppet Christmas Carol, where he portrayed author Charles Dickens.

This live album was released along with Paris, which was recorded in Paris, France. Show leaned somewhat more towards the band's poppier and more recent material such as "Just Like Heaven", "Pictures of You" and "Friday I'm in Love" while Paris skewed towards their older cult-classics.

Track listing

Show is a double-CD release in most cases. There are various versions with differing track listing. The US version is the only one-disc edition. The songs which did not fit onto the US disc ("Fascination Street", "The Walk" and "Let's Go to Bed") were released as the EP Sideshow. The CD-i version contains extra tracks.
