Band/artist documentaries.

These types of films may not be for everyone, but I’ve been on a viewing kick recently and encourage your recommendations for all to enjoy. It’s been interesting to see the stories of the various subjects and get some great insights, stories, and entertaining anecdotes firsthand. Listed below are a few I’ve seen and can recommend. Please follow suit with yours - and enjoy!

Music from the inside out

The Last Waltz (of course)

Lost Angel (Judee Sill)

Sound City

Neil Young - Journeys

David Crosby - Remember my name

Linda Ronstadt - The sound of my voice

Rumble

Once Were Brothers (The Band)

Muscle Shoals

The Wrecking Crew

Standing in the Shadows of Motown

Seymour: An Introduction

YMMV, but having a full blown home theater set up with a 9 foot projection screen sure does enhance the experience...

And then there is classical music!  The Ken Russell 1962 documentary on Elgar made for the British Broadcasting Corporation's fine arts program Monitor was voted best TV program of the decade in the UK.  That is despite Monitor insisting that the actors were not allowed to speak, and the documentary being shot in black and white.  It kick started Ken Russell's film career and several other music documentaries.

Worth an hour of anybody's time, in my opinion.
