Music Documentaries-tell me please

[ocjack]

The Epix channel just started a two-part series call Laurel Canyon. A history of the people, places and music of the '60's that congregated around that famous street in Hollywood. Episode 1 was outstanding.

Fwiw, I drove that street from the Valley side to the Hollywood side and back every weekday for about 9 years. If I would have had more courage, I would have stopped and walked up to some of the homes. The series says the artists never locked their doors and were always jamming with each other. Pure history.

The recent documentary, Echo in the Canyon, same music scene, is great. Jackson Brown, David Crosby, Mamas and the Poppas, Neil Young, many others.

Last Waltz, one of the BEST.
Echo in the Canyon is excellent
No Direction Home - Bob Dylan from 1941-1965 (3 1/2 hrs.) Well worth every minute!

Hired gun was pretty good. About Studio Musicians. I learned that Billy Joel is a prick.

That was really disappointing to hear about how he treated his "friends" once he went big time. Amazing how well Liberty took it.

One I saw not too long ago that wasn't mentioned. "Eric Clapton: A Life in 12 Bars" was really good and I thought fairly honest.

And not a documentary, but one of my favorite movies of all time (Top 100 as I watch a LOT of movies).... "The Commitments"

Not a documentary either, but see Sing Street if you like 80s UK pop. Fun movie.
