Searching for Sugarman was kick arse
I'm not bothered by the poetic license...
Because, I just like his music.
And its a fantastic documentary...by the way it's constructed, I don't need to see how the sausage is made. Just enjoy it and don't dive too deep.

New one coming out this year
Because there has been so much written and recorded about and by the band I am curious if there will be any new insights but I still expect to enjoy it.
Going to see it in IMAX when it opens Feb 7.

Yeah the Zeppelin one is one I’ve been looking forward to for a while now.

I just wanted to mention a singular music moment in documentary history, but it happens not in a music documentary, but in a "Real World" style documentary that was filmed decades before MTV tried something similar.
So here's why I think it's a singular moment in music documentary history. A young Alex Zivojinovich (about 18 years old), later to be known as Alex Lifeson, takes part in a Real World style documentary. In one scene, he's sitting around the dining table at home with his parents and what appears to be numeous extended family members. Alex wants to drop out of high school and they are all trying to convince him to finish his senior year and graduate. Alex's position is that music is his future and he doesn't need school. I can't think of any other musician from the pre-social media era that had "the talk" about his future documented on film (at least that was released to the public). Also note, Alex became a father at 17 yrs old, and in this scene, he talks bitterly about the mother of his child who just wants money and doesn't let him see his child often enough.
This scene is 7m31s and is pure gold:

The Stax documentary will piss a normal man off to no end.
An old friend who spent years going to market in new york told me years ago "frick a new York jew."
He was right.

Great list!
I’ll add…
Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me- about the band Big Star. Why they were influential long after they broke up even though they never really broke through (Alex Chilton loved, and died, in NOLA.)
Hired Gun- about musicians who are hired for sessions and tours with bigger artists. Includes Phil X, Kenny Aronoff, Liberty DeVitto, John 5 and others.

Alex later said his dad was right, yet here he is all these years later a multimillionaire famous guitar hero. Music was the way for him and even as a stupid 17 year old, he knew it.

Gimme Shelter was interesting. The Stones and Altamont.

Fleetwood Mac - Making of Rumours
Was actually going to ask if there was a Fleetwood Mac Doc. Would like to see one that goes through the entire history including the Bob Welsh years
Posted on 1/15/25 at 9:21 am to MorbidTheClown
I watched that FM:Rumours doc on youtube at home last night. It was solid. What stood out to me was that everyone brought in their own different songs, but they were all good songs and a lot ended up being hits. Kinda crazy that it wasn't just one or two people creating the songs. It was basically all of them.

The friction between Stevie and Lindsay during some of the videos i've seen is wild.
i remember an interview with Stevie where they said something like " there are rumors that you did a lot of drugs and was drunk or high a lot of the time"
Stevie: I wasn't the only one.

I assume you mean the live version of Silver Springs...
From about 3:50 through the end when they are literally staring at each other and she is staring DAGGERS at him every time she sings the lines, it's intense.
"I know I could've loved you, but you would not let me"
*evil stare
"I'll follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you"
*evil stare
"You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you"
*intense staring at each other
"Was I just a fool?" as she literally steps toward him and says the line to his face.
I wasn't even really familiar with the song, let alone that performance. But I found it earlier this morning and can't get it out of my head. I must have watched it at least five times now (including right now). You can literally see their history and the pain in both of their faces and how emotional and intense it is for both of them to have to suppress that shite and perform the song for people. shite is awesome.

Yeah, that's one of them. I'll try to dig up some others.
My goodness Stevie is so sexy!

Was coming here to say this. This is a great Tom Petty documentary that is a much watch if you are a fan.
Lots of good ones already mentioned. I'll add Count Me In - a very good documentary about Drummers....I know some question if they're really musicians :)
