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...

Has anyone watched "Quincy", the documentary about Quincy Jones?

The list of accomplishments is too large to cover here. This is from wikipedia-The film epilogue details his career as follows: "Over 2,900 songs recorded; over 300 albums recorded; 51 film and television scores; over 1,000 original compositions; 79 Grammy nominations; 28 Grammy awards; 1 of 18 EGOT winners (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony); Thriller the best selling album of all time; We Are the World the best selling single of all time; $63 million raised for famine relief in Africa; and 7 children."

Surprised no mention of The Who, either The Kids Are Alright or Amazing Journey. But the one to seek out is We Jam Econo; The Story of the Minutemen. D Boon like so many others, gone too soon.

I'm laughing too...we should start a thread, "Singers who destroyed their voices because of drugs."

Stevie Nicks

Jerry Garcia

Whitney Houston

@lmnop -Good catch!  The Kids Are Alright is fantastic.
