Sgt. Pepper Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 (edited) I watched Mary McCartney’s Doc, If These Walls Could Sing, about Abbey Road (EMI) studio the other day. It was good, but I didn’t think it was great. Of course it was heavy with Beatles stuff. Of course those Scallywag’s Oasis were kicked out due to apparently playing The Beatles records at loud volume one night, and probably being super drunk and high. Edited December 22, 2022 by Sgt.

Sgt. Pepper Posted December 26, 2022 Author Share Posted December 26, 2022 For Xmas I got the Criterion Edition of Gimme Shelter and The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus. Both on Blue Ray. I haven't seen either in ages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted June 4, 2023 Author Share Posted June 4, 2023 I watched a doc on John Waite last night of the Baby's and Bad English, anyone remember them? I think Head First is a really good album. It was made when we were all sent to two years of home prison. It gives you a view of how terrible the music industry is. I had no clue he did a stint in Ringo's ASB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 PBS here used to show The Rolling Stone's Rock and Roll Circus. but for me it had too much emphasis on the "circus". Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Not really a Doc but I watched the TAMI Show recently.. Great Stones & Beach Boys segments… I watched a Doc called Under The Volcano about George Martins post Beatles Studio on an Island.. Lots of great Albums were recorded there in the 70’s & 80’s until the Volcano erupted & wiped out a lot of the Island… Edited June 4, 2023 by Larsongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nhwildbill Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Hopefully on your lists are: "Hired Gun" A documentary film about session and touring musicians that are hired by well established and famous bands and artists like Metallica, KISS, and Billy Joel. "Fanny: The Right to Rock" reveals the untold story of a Filipina American garage band that morphed into the ferocious rock group Fanny, who almost became the female Beatles.

It’s good. Billy Joel is a grade A super A-hole. I saw the trailer for Fanny. I will watch it one day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 (edited) The best thing about R & R Circus is every one but The Stones and Joko Ono when she howls and squeeles. They were more of a mess than usual when filmed. I'm sure large quantities of drugs were consumed. Can you identify the left handed guitarist in Jethro Tull? Edited June 15, 2023 by Sgt.

sparquelito Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 If you haven't seen Sound City (from 2013), a documentary by Dave Grohl on the history of the legendary recording studio in Van Nuys, California. It's really good.🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 5 hours ago, merciful-evans said: I think Iomi was asked to join Tull after Mick Abrahams left. I looked that up and found this: The group tried several replacements for Abrahams. The first was David O'List, who had recently left the Nice. After a week's rehearsal, O'List did not show up and lost contact with the group. The next choice was Mick Taylor, who turned the group down because he felt his current gig with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers was a better deal.[42] Following this, they approached Tony Iommi, guitarist for Earth (soon to be renamed Black Sabbath). Iommi had impressed Jethro Tull when Earth opened for them at a show in Birmingham; he briefly joined the band, but feeling closer to his old band, quit after a few weeks and returned to Birmingham to rejoin Earth.[47] He stood in with Tull for The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus on 11 December 1968, when the group performed "A Song for Jeffrey", although only Anderson's singing and flute were live. The rest was mimed to the studio track, which featured Abraham's guitar playing. Whitefang 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted June 19, 2023 Author Share Posted June 19, 2023 I watched on on Dolly Parton this weekend. It was okay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronx Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 Not strictly a rock doc but last week I saw "EMI the Inside Story" about the giant record company. Throughout the 50s through the 70s they were a behemoth in not just the recording industry but all the electronics industry in the UK. Pretty good documentary, well worth watching.
