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...

Lots of good picks so far. If I had to only recommend one music related documentary, it would probably be "Muscle Shoals." Here's a few that have not been mentioned yet: BADFINGER - Director's Cut BECOMING LED ZEPPELIN - If you can see (and hear) this in an IMAX theater, it is well worth the time and effort. HUNG UP ON A DREAM (The Zombies) IMMEDIATE FAMILY - Directed by Damon Tedesco ("The Wrecking Crew") about the careers of studio musicians: Danny Kortchmar - Russ Kunkel - Lee Sklar & Waddy Wachtel. SEARCHING FOR SUGARMAN (Rodriguez) |
“The Velvet Underground”, a documentary about the legendary 60’s band that is currently available from the Criterion Collection. This one is in my Blu-Ray collection. https://www.criterion.com/films/33386-the-velvet-underground
