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 made a mistake in the title of a Leonard Cohen doc-

Marianne and Leonard: Words of Love, not Goodbye Marianne.

Thought of two more- Todd Haynes movie about The Velvet Underground

While this one isn't a music doc, it's still a must see-

Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain

@slaw -

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

In my old age I am no longer a super big fan of The Eagles, but I really did enjoy the 2 part doc film about them, The History Of The Eagles. 

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

I am not a huge fan of Chicago either, but that sounds like an interesting doc.
