My Big Day Off Watching Rockumentaries

[Wibbles]

This is one I've got recorded to but have not yet watched (waiting for the right rainy day):

Who Killed The KLF?

Putting that one into the queue to watch when I have time.  The KLF attended one of the (illegal, underground) clubs I did the lighting for and played a couple of their songs live.

I never really knew who Harry Nilsson was.  Now I do.

Not sure why, but I had "opened this in a new tab" yesterday to remind myself to maybe check it out later.  Usually when this happens, I just don't want to spend the time and close the tab but, tonight, I decided to relax and watch.  Glad I did!  There was a lot I didn't know, but also several events that brought back memories for me (I was close to the epicenter of the big earthquake at the end of both the movie and Harry).  I had also been to a few of the same places shown.  Very interesting story!

Not rock but . . . two of my favorite music movies are "Walk the Line" (Johnny Cash) and "Living Proof - The Hank Williams Jr Story" (My Favorite!)

I really wasn't a fan back in the days, but these guys grew on me in recent years. I'd been meaning to watch the documentary for some time. Nice. Really enjoyed it. 

This had also been on my watchlist for some time. Took the Showtime trial just for it.

 

This one... It's like the opposite of the one on Triumph. Whereas the one on Triumph avoids putting the emphasis on the drama, this one has a reality show feeling to it - especially when they start auditionning singers and taking shots at that guy they hire, and making sure to show how amateur he is. It also feels extremely fake. It reminded me of everything that I dislike about the music scene here in Vegas.

Best 7 minutes I can think of for a Behind the Music, a LOT of cameos!

Saw a recent doc from Chrissy Hynde about her and her guitarist recording an album of Dylan covers while in lockdown. Long distance, international using the internet and phones to deliver tracks. Called Tomorrow is a Long Time, came out in '21. Not technical, since they both said they've never done that kind of thing before. DAWs were a mystery.

Awesome?? Great find?

 

[craigb]

Are those for real?  Or are they just pretending? ?

[Rain]

That was awesome!

Not a documentary but a very nice interview with Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson.
