If you like that type of documentary, I recommend another called "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" about the mostly anonymous studio musicians who played on a ridiculous number of Motown and Pop tracks from 1959 - 1972.

"The Funk Brothers produced more hits than The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys and Elvis Presley combined." [0]

There a few interesting documentaries out. The Wrecking Crew about LA studio musicians. There’s one on Brian Wilson. 20 feet feet from stardom about back up singers. Laurel Canyon is interesting - its about the music scene there

I've seen all of these and lots more. I'm just a music movie junkie, I guess. Can't wait for the Peter Jackson movie about The Beatles.

The Laurel Canyon one with Jakob Dylan is outstanding.

I wanted the Laurel Canyon one to be more interviews and less "recreate the music". I'm sure there was far more interview footage that would have been more interesting.

YMMV. I actually liked seeing modern artists do the old songs.

would have preferred that to just be a separate movie. it felt very disjointed to me. glad you liked it though - a number of people probably did.

Thank you, I upvoted you, lprubin, and belter, but I'll respond just here to not be repetitive. I come to HN for the tech but I stay for the etcetera :)
