Weekly survey: What’s the best music doc for long winter nights?
We’re entering the darkest time of the year, the stretch during which we are deprived of sunshine. Time to cocoon for a bit, which may mean settling down with some music documentaries on Netflix.
Here’s the survey question for the week: Recommend a great music doc. It can be from any genre from any era. And it doesn’t matter that it’s currently not on Netflix because chances are you can find it somewhere else (iTunes, YouTube, Qello, etc.)
Drop your suggestion below. You’ll end up helping your fellow music fan getting through those long winter nights.
Queen Days of our Lives (From Bryan May and Roger Taylor)
The Festival Express (Historical Rock acts on a train in Canada in 1970)
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (more than just music, mental health)
Janis: Little Girl Blue (Janis Joplin. Its on Youtube Movies to rent for 2.99)
I’m going to be looking for George Harrison: Living in the Material World
MC5: A True Testimonial
American Hardcore (2006) & Oasis: Supersonic (2016)
Completely different genres but both must see viewing for people who like music docs.
