I watched it on Google Play. Set me back 3.99, but worth it.

 
Though not delivered as a music documentary per se, the recently released PBS doc about Those Three Days Of Peace And Music in Bethel, NY, offers a "new take" on the administrative effort that went into producing the hallowed festival of 1969, which some say was Hippiedom's Crownning Moment ... And Last Gasp.

Woodstock: Three Days That Defined A Generation
(2024)
This is a good accompanying piece on the Woodstock organizers, free on youtube
 
This one was excellent, one of the best I've ever seen. Though tempting if one ever popped up for sale, another reason to never buy except for display, it'll never sound correct.
Roland TR-808 ... cool topic, I gotta find a copy of this one.
 
I am not a huge Billy Joel fan but enjoyed his 100th concert at Madison Square Square Garden broadcast on CBS/Paramount +.
Tremendously talented band.

Look for surprise solo vocals from his percussionist and guitar player.

I've watched it a couple of times...had the great pleasure of seeing Billy and Sir Elton on tour together in 2008 ish...they shared the stage for about a third of the show...performing 3 or 4 of each others songs...it was epic! :cool:
 
The series The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966. Incredible footage of American Blues artists on tour in Europe in the early to mid 60's. Shot at TV stations, there are many pairings that are one of a kind. I have three Volumes plus another one from British tours from 1963-1966.

"Finding Joseph I" - A documentary about HR, the lead singer of one of the most influential punk/hardcore bands ever, Bad Brains. The documentary chronicles HR's erratic behavior, until his ultimate diagnosis of mental illness. Sad as it is, mental illness afflicts so very many, not skipping any race, level of fame or talent, or anything else. This is just one story.

There's great footage of Bad Brains, interviews with a number of artists from "back in the day", and plenty of background on the band and HR.

I cannot rate this documentary any higher. See it!
