Spectacles are those phenomena of media culture which embody contemporary society's basic values, and dreams and nightmares, putting on display dominant hopes and fears.
The concept of the spectacle is integrally connected to the concept of separation and passivity, for in passively consuming spectacles, one is separated from actively producing one's life.
Building on the tradition of spectacle, contemporary forms of entertainment from television to the stage are incorporating spectacle culture into their enterprises, transforming film, television, music, drama, and other domains of culture, as well as producing spectacular new forms of culture such as cyberspace, multimedia, and virtual reality.

 Spectacle Rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the original The Legend of Zelda, Spectacle Rock was the location of Ganon's lair in the first quest, found by bombing an entrance in the western rock.
Tamaranch and Turtle Rock, this structure mimicks Spectacle Rock in both appearance and function — as in A Link to the Past, a cavern in the middle of the rock grants access to higher elevations of the mount from the blocked entrance at its foot.
In The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Spectacle Rock is most notably present as the path between the Mountain Village and Goron Village in the northern Snowhead region of Termina, where the entrance to the Goron Racetrack is also located.

 Rock Spectacle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rock Spectacle (1996) is the fourth full-length album by Barenaked Ladies and their first live release.
This was the album that finally broke the American market for BNL, with the live version of "Brian Wilson" and a release of "The Old Apartment" from Born on a Pirate Ship featuring this live version becoming hits, and Rock Spectacle selling over a million copies there alone.
The title of the album is intended to be French for "rock show", and would properly pronounced "Rock Spec-tak-le", though the band, when explaining this typically exclude the ending "le", and it is usually explained phoenetically as simply "Rock Spec-tak".

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Rock Spectacle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Their live album Rock Spectacle is a good example of this, although many fans may notice a lack of songs they recognize, mainly because this release came out before the band hit it big with "One Week," "It's All Been Done" and "Falling For The First Time."
Naturally, a live show this well-rehearsed lacks much spontaneity to be truly a spectacle, if you will, and about a third of the songs lack much excitement.
Of course, a benefit is the fresh sound and clarity of the instruments and voices, which is nice because the sharp production brings out the flourishes in the songs not noticeable in the studio versions.

 Rocking, Rapping Acts Mix It Up ; Linkin Park, Cypress Hill Sold Out
As one of rock's biggest-selling acts, Linkin Park took a hackneyed formula and gave it enough twists on their 2000 debut, "[Hybrid Theory]," to send sales into the 7 million figure.
That rock and rap are so intrinsically hitched may not mean much given the often cliched results.
But rock was born on a hybrid theory and continues to flourish because of it.

The lyrics speak of Rock and Roll being an attitude, and not a descriptive term for music.
Mick relishes his role as ringmaster of the Rock and Roll Circus, while at the same time, speaking fondly of a time that seemed simpler in the world of music.
Once again, I could picture myself on stage with the band, left foot firmly planted on the stage monitor, pounding away on the bass while hundreds of fans stretched their hands forward in hopes of a high five.

It was recorded at the Riviera in Chicago and at the Olympia in Montreal during the Born on a Pirate Ship tour in the spring of 1996.
With the single's success and the ladies constant touring, Rock Spectacle then became the ladies first gold album in the United States.

Whether or not they're still absolutely the greatest rock 'n' roll band on earth, the Rolling Stones proved Wednesday night at Comerica Park they are undeniably the biggest rock 'n' roll band on earth, delivering a spectacle that thoroughly overwhelmed some musical weaknesses in their new show.
It's just they've set the bar so high for themselves over the years they are their own hardest act to follow.
Jagger, of course, remains the greatest genetic freak in the history of rock at age 62.

 Rolling Stone : System Rock the Arena
Considering their bombastic year, which culminates in the release of Hypnotize this fall, System's massive new tour is less of an arena-rock spectacle and more straight-up rock and roll.
If playing a straightforward rock show with virtually no stage banter was System's spin on the spectacle of arena rock, it seemed to work for the fans.
As the band hit its stride, tearing into their hit "Chop Suey!," Armenian flags were waved, and five mosh pits churned with body surfers.

 Rock Spectacle | The A.V. Club
But here it is, and it's uniformly as pleasant as you'd expect: Whether the band is playing quirky pop laced with gentle humor ("If I Had $1000000") or earnest ballads about stuff like gender stereotypes ("What a Good Boy"), Barenaked Ladies' musical talent and lovely, harmonious voices make its albums listenable and likable.
The new Rock Spectacle, which also includes a multimedia CD-ROM track full of skits and silliness, is about as disposable as live albums come: Most of the renditions are note for note ("Life, In a Nutshell" is an exception), and the crowd singalongs on a few tracks (particularly "Brian Wilson") are distracting and even frustrating.
Loyal followers will enjoy Rock Spectacle as a supplement to the three fine studio albums, but the newly initiated should start with Gordon and go from there.

And if that's the case, the Foo Fighters and Weezer picked a heckuva place to kick off their co-headlining tour on Thursday night: the Arena at Gwinnett Center in beautifully manicured Duluth.
Nestled in between an apartment complex, a shopping center and a pond full of geese, the Gwinnett is suburban sprawl perfectly realized: an unassuming arena with enough obtuse angles and frosted glass archways to pass as both a 12,000-seat venue and a shopping mall (it also kind of looks like a dentist's office).
They crushed tallboys in the parking lots, cranked Weezer tunes from their cars (the crowd was overwhelmingly pro-Weez) and snapped up $25 concert T-shirts with shocking voracity.

Set for debut 2006 Adelaide Fringe Festival, 'Donny - The Rock Opera' is a locally-written and produced piece of musical theatre, featuring Paul Slattery (Pornland) as Donny and backed by The Invincibles, a six-piece band (featuring former members of The Fuglemen, Sex Hurricane 1975, The Australian Young Liberal Party, Deep Bass Nine and more).

With a group trained on the double bass, bass guitar, keyboards, accordian, acoustic guitars, electric guitars, drums, and vocals; it is pretty obvious that the Barenaked Ladies' music is very musical and unique.
Their songs are a light rock, very poppish, but ear catching.
