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...

There is a cool video on Tom Scholtz and how he created the whole original Boston album by himself with custom gear he built.

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

What!?  You mean it is not!?

:snort:

Driving that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you better
Watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion
Just crossed my mind

@devinplombier -

"The Decline of Western Civilization", by Penelope Spheeris, on the circa-1980 LA punk scene, is imo a must watch."

Yes! Seeing X upclose is pretty cool. Ray Manzarek produced their first album, Los Angeles.

Have you watched "The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years"?

This old engine makes it on time
Leaves Central Station
'Bout a quarter to nine
Hits River Junction at seventeen to
At a quarter to ten
You know it's travelin' again

You gotta love it, @wharfy !  **snort**
