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...

I watched the Chicago documentary. The amount of cocaine they consumed is astounding.

I didn't know much at all about Chicago, and although I only had a passing familiarity with them from the days listening to certain FM stations in the '70s/80s that was a great documentary I just watched.  It was so good I watched it twice today just trying to keep all the players straight in my mind.  

 

If I Leave Here Tomorrow was a pretty good doc film about Lynyrd Skynyrd.  Another band whose music I am not really crazy about, but their story fascinated me.

I'm old enough to remember when cocaine was described as a safe recreational drug.
