The kids are right, the WHO movie

 

[Cobrachris]

Just watched The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years on Hulu. Directed by Ron Howard. Good stuff.

Summer of Soul (...or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)
2021



The footage is absolutely amazing, Sly & the Family Stone, Nina Simone, Staples Singers, Stevie Wonder, 5th Dimension, and others. Great documentary about the political situation as well.

Big Star: Nothing can hurt me
Roxy Music: More than this
Gene Clark: The Byrd who flew alone
Sex Pistols: The filth and the fury
Townes Van Zant: Be here to love me
Scott Walker: 30th century man

My guilty pleasure is: Mike Judge Presents: Tales from the Tour Bus.

Is this good? Sometimes these unauthorized band histories are really poor, especially if they don’t play the band’s original music.

Just because they aren’t AUTHORIZED to play the bands music, doesn’t mean the rest of the content isn’t good

This wonderfully moving and inspirational documentary gets a second airing tonight...

The 'Classic Albums' ongoing series tend to be very good, but any music documentary that has a section playing with the faders of a mixing desk gets my vote!

Hands down... For what it used to be like in the studio... Aerosmith - The Making of Pump.

I watched this a couple of weeks ago.....absolutely fascinating stuff if industrial music is your thing (and maybe even if it isn't).

"The Wrecking Crew"

Just as a side note because of Mike Nesmith passing yesterday….I came across a DOC on The Monkees and Jimi Hendrix that I have NEVER seen before and it is simply STUPENDOUS!! I learnt some new tidbits that I had never known before….I know you will ENJOY this very much!! Comes HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

I’ve watched this one about the Turtles several times. Pretty cool

The best WOIDSTOCK DOC so far

The DOC

There's also a Turtles movie called My Dinner with Jimi. It has shockingly bad production quality and acting, but is oddly good in many ways. Basically a movie version of Howard's book. Howard's book also has an audio version, and he reads it, so that's fun too. He's hilarious.

'All My Loving' - Tony Palmer - 1968
As a 14 year old at the time it changed everything I thought I knew about music
