I actually have the original of Let's Get Lost on VHS. It was pretty rare and valuable until they finally came out with DVD and Blue-Ray versions. I need to rewatch it -- last time I saw it was decades ago and the VHS quality was, well, VHS quality :).

All the way from MC5 and The Stooges finishing with the big sell out at Green Day & Blink 182 and everyone in between. Henry Rollins, Ian MacKaye, Marky Ramone, Jello Biafra, Debra Harry and Chris Klein.... a huge list. Had me hooked all the way. Only complaint was it was missing some people & groups like Steve Jones and The Saints.

One thing that really stood out for me, the personality of these artist's youth gets amplified when they get into their 50's, 60's and 70's.
 
Chuck Berry: The King of Rock N Roll -- currently free on Amazon with ads and on YouTube. It's quite good and interesting -- tells his story from both the family perspective and from the music artist perspective, where he was both a hero, perhaps the hero, and a also quite bit of an a**. Very interesting story, he was true to his family throughout. He'd go to gigs with just his guitar, never with a band or an equipment -- the venue had to provide the backing band and a guitar amp to his exact specs. Interesting to see Chuck and Keith Richards arguing intensely about how to play one of his songs, then see Keith play better than I've ever seen him play.

I recently watched that over 3 nights the 3 ~ 2&1/2 hour each disc DVD music Let it Be" Beatle`s documentary box set.
Lots of goofing off and fooling around for a month by the various members while trying to create and construct/assemble the songs, IMO.
