Members The Lou-Dog Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love a good Music film. I've just finished Uni and am only working a couple of days a week, so I have the luxury of some serious spare time. Anyone got any good suggestions?I'm currently watching Concert for George, that's definitely one of my favourites. I'd forgotten how much of a babe/beast of a sitar player Anoushka Shankar is Also Dhani Harrison at that age is almost identical to George, it's {censored}ing surreal. Other favourites are the Classic Albums series, notably the Steely Dan one on Aja and The Band's self titled album. The Stones in Exile was great as well.

Members mdrake34 Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 Festival Express is hands down my favorite music doc/concert film, and Red Hot Chili Pepper's Live at Slane Castle is my favorite pure concert film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Festival Express is a classic! Love The Band and Buddy Guy's stuff on that in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying Burrito Brothers had already kicked Gram Parsons out of the band by that time, which is unfortunate.

Members tsunamijesus Posted November 27, 2012 Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm gonna get flamed, but I enjoy most of The Sound of Animals Fighting's 'You must be the change etc.' Besides the failed attempts at turning a club venue into an art space, it's really great.Seal's live dvd is great for boner jams.Heima is incredible.Neurosis' Sun that Never Sets is really dark and good.Keane LIVE is pretty fun for all audiences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Tom Dowd & The Language Of Music. Yes, it's largely the story of a record producer / engineer (one of the very best - a true legend), but there's a ton of great music and artist / band appearances and stories in it. It's definitely a great documentary, and I highly recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Lou-Dog Posted November 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks for all the suggestions guys! There's a few here that I haven't seen, I'll chase them up.

I'd heard of Tom Dowd from the Clapton stuff and the Atlantic stuff, but didn't realise how much stuff he'd done..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
