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.
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'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. |
@bdp24 Do you have this LP? It is my favorite Everly Brothers recording! |
@yogiboy: I got myself two copies of the Songs Our Daddy Taught Us LP back in the 80’s, but they were reissues on Ace Records (a great UK label) and Rhino. The original is hard to find in good condition, and for years has been in my "Look for" notebook I take with me when I’m out hunting down records. I’m a patient kind of guy, so one day I’ll find a copy. I buy every good condition original pressing Everly Brothers LP I find, and currently have 29 in my collection (5 on CD). That includes the pair of albums they did in the 80’s with Dave Edmunds producing. Lately I’ve found a few of the brothers solo albums on LP as well. Love The Everly Brothers to death! By far my favorite of the original 1950’s Rock ’n’ Roll acts. Speaking of Edmunds, posted below is a video of "Here Comes The Weekend", a song co-written by Dave and Nick Lowe and found on Dave's "perfect" album Get It. The song is obviously modeled on the EV Brothers, with Dave singing both vocal parts. I like Norah Jones, and don’t mind Green Day, but I’ve not been terribly motivated to give Foreverly a listen. How is it?
Has everyone heard the story about Scorsese electronically removing the clump of white powder that was clearly visible in Neil Young’s nostril in The Last Waltz? In an interview with one of the performers, the artist said there was a table behind the Winterland stage, on top of which was a giant mountain of cocaine. Robbie Robertson looks kinda wired throughout the film.
