Saturday 19th May 2007, 22:00 to 23:40

Portrait of the late rock guitarist, featuring concert footage from a variety of venues, including Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival. With contributions from many of his peers, including Eric Clapton and Who guitarist Pete Townshend.

Probably a repeat.

Eric Clapton wasn't one of his peers? Pete Townshend may not have been his equal on the guitar but he wrote some of the most memorable pop/rock music ever. I think they're both quite entitled to be called his peers.
