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!

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

This Everly Brothers documentary! https://www.pbs.org/show/the-everly-brothers-harmonies-from-heaven/ |
The Last Waltz A new concept for general release in cinemas. A visionary director and recorded in stereo sound in the early days of FM broadcasting in the UK. The film aired on TV and BBC Radio Two simultaneously allowing for stereophonic sound. l can remember setting my alarm clock for 2 O Clock in the morning to get up and set the Stereo Video and radio station to be able to record and mix onto video tape the concert film. Terrestrial TV was not broadcasting at that time in Stereo. Obviously the concert later was easily available in all formats but in the 80s “simulticasts” as they were called was then cutting edge technology in the UK. |
