I just saw a movie at the Toronto International Film Festival called, "It Might Get Loud". It's a documentary about the electric guitar from the points of view of The Edge, Jimmy Page and Jack White. I don't know what's happening with the release of the film, but it's totally worth watching if you get the chance. All three of them were in the theatre watching with us too, which was pretty cool.
I don't think anyone has mentioned:
Festival Express
Everyone Stares, The Police Inside Out
Buena Vista Social Club
That Thing You Do
Not exactly a movie, but the DVDs of the Classic Album series are great.

meeting people is easy and the wilco movie both get an extra thumb up from me.
but also to add, I watched that Dixie Chicks movie "shut up and sing" which is mainly about the whole bush controversy, but has a fair share of live and studio footage and some cool songwriting clips, so it wasn't a complete loss, as I'm not a "fan" of them per-se, but rather, looking for a movie under the vein of this thread.
Also, not much studio footage, but a good bit of dialogue about it in the Engine Down DVD that just came out a few months ago, I think it's called From Beginning to End, and they were, of course, one of my favorite bands and I sorely miss them, so if you dig the whole DC/VA thing... totally pick that up. (which reminds me, extra +1 for Instrument as well).
There's a red hot chilli peppers movie about making B.S.S.M too, it's basically ALL studio footage, and fucking incredible. Rick Rubin rules, I must say.
Also, speaking of him Fade to Black, the Jay-Z flick is great for seeing some hip-hop production in action. Totally worth the watch, and the show is bangin too with the Roots and all.
ok, end rant!

There are many of them and they are all awesome. I like the Night at the Opera one, Frank Zappa's Apostraphy/Overnight Sensation, and the whos Whos next.OH DAMN! I totally forgot that "Classic Albums: Making Dark Side of the Moon" documentary. That one is amazing, and I think there are others, but I haven't seen them, but if they're as good as that one, I bet they're awesome.

My favourites are Dark Side, Paul Simon's Graceland, U2's Joshua Tree, Bob Marley's Catch a Fire, Lou Reed's Transformer, The Band's S/T and Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell.blackdiscoball wrote:There are many of them and they are all awesome.

The Nirvana, Who, Elton John, Elvis, Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Sex Pistols, Grateful Dead and Metallica are all good.
The Cream, Desreali Gears was a waste of time.
Has anyone seen the Jay-Z or Stevie Wonder? I really hope they re-release the Stevie so I can see it.

The Songs In The Key Of Life one was great. One of the better ones. Haven't seen the Cream one, but I thought the Hendrix one was super lame.Spindrift wrote:My favourites are Dark Side, Paul Simon's Graceland, U2's Joshua Tree, Bob Marley's Catch a Fire, Lou Reed's Transformer, The Band's S/T and Meatloaf's Bat Out of Hell.

The Motorhead one is the best by far. Lemmy is a force of nature. There is not so much technical detail but come on. I have it saved on my DVR and I watch it often.cgarges wrote:The Songs In The Key Of Life one was great. One of the better ones.

The U2 and Nirvana are perhaps the most illuminating in regards to the actual recording process, as distinct from the creative process. Def Leppard is pretty good too.
Okay, they're all pretty good. The Motorhead one is the best though.
