Music Documentaries-tell me please
Channel surfing is in full swing for me, and nostalgia feels good these days.
Tonight I saw a good documentary on Lynyrd Skynyrd, taking me back to a nicer time and place. Last week I watched one on Led Zeppelin. Free Bird and Stairway to Heaven--needless to say, I had the air guitar out. Can anyone point me to others that can take me back? I've seen them for the Eagles and of course the Beatles. and saw/liked Eat This awhile back. Are there any on the Doors, CCR, Warren Zevon, Jackson Browne, the Who, or about 200 other bands you can share?

The Wrecking Crew
I enjoyed this .....it is about the L.A. studio musicians who played on just about all the hits of the 60s but never got the credits.

Find the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man". You will be glad you did. It won an Oscar for best documentary in 2012. I saw this and was blown away. I became an immediate fan of a guy who I never knew existed and I am not a casual music fan.

Might not be your kind of music but "The Decline of Western Civilization" is really good.

My wife and I seen them about 2 summers ago at the Budweiser stage in Toronto. Although, obviously, not with the original members, they put on a great show nonetheless.

The Linda Ronstadt documentary is really interesting. And the Ken Burns series on country music actually made me appreciate the history and sounds. Oh, and the Showtime documentary on the Beach Boys Pet Sounds album is a must-see.

The Who's "The Kids Are Alright" has been on Amazon Prime for a while now. Snippets from Woodstock and hilarious Keith Moon bits.
I'm old enough to have seen it when theaters use to run midnight shows on weekends. You'd get Rocky Horror, The Song Remains the Same, or Heavy Metal on a rotating basis. Oh, and I second the Wrecking Crew doc on You Tube. Really interesting. |

Can confirm. You can really appreciate what a courageous artist she was by taking control of her career and work, and going in new directions when it would have been easier, and more profitable, to stick with what sold.
Added in edit: The aptly named Muscle Shoals is also a great documentary. Last edited by carlsonjok; 04-20-2020 at 03:49 PM. |

Doesn't seem to be any love for Rush here. LOL Both Beyond the Lighted Stage, and Time Stand Still are very good. The first one better than the second .

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.

New HBO documentary on the Bee Gees ("How Do You Mend a Broken Heart") is fantastic. Highly recommended.

All Things Must Pass is excellent as well. Talks about the rise and fall of Tower Records Highly, Highly recommend the Festival Express as well. Focuses on a huge tour across Canada in 1970. Centers around The Dead, The Band, and Janis Joplin.
