This research analyzes the construction of the myth of the "Gods of Rock" from the communication and cultural processes that are present in musical documentaries produced between the years 1968-1971 and denominated rockumentaries, for specifically approaching musicians of the rock and roll genre in their networks. In a time when rock and roll became the mainstream media product for young people, The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus (1968), Woodstock (1969) and Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii (1971), productions which constitute the corpus of the present research, captured images of the presentations mentioned with the differential of bringing extra contents in documentary language, such as testimonials and backstage images. In the following decades, the three rockumentaries were reedited to add unpublished images and new proposals of assembly. We investigate the creative processes of these audiovisuals and argue that, especially in their reissues, the rockumentaries, in different ways, present mythical narratives and epic characters, making a translation within a certain time and space to compose the social imaginary of the " Gods of Rock. "The research is based on the analysis of documentaries, with emphasis on the socio-cultural reverberations that interfere in the processes of creation of these audiovisual pieces and in the social memory of rock and roll. The theoretical foundation is in the reflection on culture and creation processes by Edgar's Morin and Cecilia Salles and in discussions about the imaginary and the myths by Michel Maffesoli and Joseph Campbell
