What are your FAVORITE MUSIC documentaries?

[watsontr]

Beatles Anthology
Still Bill
Steely Dan - Aja Classic Album
Syd Barrett - Omnibus
Can't You Hear the Wind Howl? The Life & Music of Robert Johnson

As to the last one, It's so short that I keep watching it over and over hoping there'll be something more (probably the Steely too). I could do with seeing a lot more of Johnny Shines too. A true gentleman much like Bill Withers

Mine is this truly remarkable 1965 BBC documentary on the ground breaking first stereo recording by Georg Solti of the Ring cycle:

Not only is it a fascinating story of a project that nearly bankrupt a record company but is in itself a pioneering work of television being one of the earliest examples of the ‘fly on the wall’ style of film making.

I was listening to some early Ministry (1986) and Al was placing certain sounds in each stereo speaker. It was very clear and concise. Not saying that was the first use of surround (we all know that's not true) but knowing Al he didn't really follow trends so even it he had heard it before I doubt he would try to copy that consciously.

Just wanted to say that's how a true surround fan (like Al) and I hears music.
