The Rolling Stones 1964-1975
The Brian Jones & Mick Taylor Years

An exciting evening of rare early performances, including their first
appearances on television in the USA & Europe, promo films, concerts &
newsreels. Film and music archivist BILL SHELLEY will personally
present unseen-for-years footage of the Stones performing such
classics as “Under My Thumb,” “Time Is on My Side,” “Honky Tonk
Woman,” and more!  1964-75 was undoubtedly one of The Stones’ peak artistic periods; the band was as wildly popular and influential as
The Beatles. BRIAN JONES, the original leader & rhythm guitarist, was always pushing the group to experiment.  His bluesy, instrumental
style sparked the writing skills of MICK JAGGER and KEITH RICHARD to
help create such classic songs as “Satisfaction,” “Play With Fire,”
“Paint It Black,” “Lady Jane,” and “Get Off of My Cloud,” all of which
are included in this program. After Jones’ death in 1969, MICK TAYLOR
joined the band and helped create such celebrated albums as It’s Only
Rock and Roll, Sticky Fingers and the legendary Exile on Main Street.
Recently, Taylor re-joined with the Stones to re-master Main Street
and complete 10 previously unfinished tracks from the period. Approx.
100 min.

Thursday Nov. 17th
Pink Floyd (1966-1980)
From their early work with the legendary but doomed Syd Barrett to
later iconic albums like Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall, Pink
Floyd have created a body of work that ranks among the greats of rock and roll. Pink Floyd exploded on Swinging London’s music scene during the mid 1960s with their strange, trippy, spaced out, psychedelic sound. After hit songs like See Emily Play and Arnold Lane, the group’s genius songwriter/singer/bass player Syd Barrett had a mental breakdown and could no longer perform. Replaced by David Gilmour, it took time for the band to find a new voice, but when they did the result was landmark works like Dark Side of the Moon, Animals, Wish You Were Here, and The Wall. Shelley Archives has looked deep into their vault and discovered extraordinary rare color and black & white footage of Pink Floyd from their earliest days playing on television, concerts, promotional films, newsreels, out takes, home movies and more! This evening of amazing performances will present a full retrospective of Pink Floyd’s entire career from the 1960s to their
groundbreaking concerts from all around the world during the 1970s. No
fan of this brilliant band will want to miss this evening of classic
footage of Pink Floyd! Approx. 90 min.

“Hudson County Community Collegeâ€s inclusion on the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly Schools list was announced at the Board of Trustees†meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 10. Pictured from left for the plaque presentation are William J. Netchert, Esq., Chair of the Board of Trustees; Nelson Vieira, Director of Admissions; Willie Malone, Enrollment Records Assistant; Dr. Paula P. Pando, Vice President for the North Hudson Center/Student Affairs; Dr. Glen Gabert, President of HCCC; and Peter Vida, Associate Dean of Enrollment Services.”

  JERSEY CITY, N.J. / August 24, 2010 – Hudson County Community College has learned that the College will be named to the “Military-Friendly Schools” List. The College was chosen from 7,000 institutions of higher education across the country to be included on the list, and the official designation will be made in September. Only 15% of all of the nation’s schools of higher education make the list.





 

HCCC President Dr. Glen Gabert said in order for an institution to be named a “Military-Friendly School,” it must welcome American military veteran, active-duty and reserve students and offer them the best education and value possible. The schools on the list must also provide military students with flexibility in their classes, access to financial aid, and additional gains, including an ongoing campus veterans’ program and credit for service.

The “Military-Friendly Schools” List is determined after thorough research by the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly Schools team. The research includes data collected from government agencies and private entities that administer education benefits, as well as a survey conducted by G.I. Jobs. The team compiles and weighs the findings for trade schools, colleges and universities, and determines scores based upon the following criteria:

            • 45% for “Effort I:” Certifications, programs and policies that measure a school’s non-financial efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students (VA-approval to accept the GI Bill, SOC membership, academic credit for CLEP and ACE, flexible learning programs);

            • 35% for “Effort II:” Financial commitment, that is, a school’s financial efforts to recruit and retain military and veteran students;

            • 15% for School’s Results: the institution’s success in recruiting military and veteran students;

            • 5% for Other Categories: including, but not limited to an institution’s academic accreditations.

“Hudson County Community College provides active military personnel, reservists and veterans with a wealth of opportunities to further their military careers and to prepare for civilian careers through our associate degree and specialized certificate programs,” Dr. Gabert said. He noted that many of those programs – including Nursing, Paramedic Science, Homeland Security, Electronics Technology, Criminal Justice and Languages – prove to be of special interest to men and women who are currently serving our country or who have served.

“All of us here at the College consider it a privilege to serve the men and women who have played such an enormous role in protecting our country. Hudson County Community College has always been a military-friendly school, and we are very happy to be officially recognized for that,” Dr. Gabert stated.
