Hopefully my copy will be here today or this week; everything into this burg always seems to take some extra time. (Ordered via the original pledge site.)

This will be an in-house movie "date night" kinda thing.

Playing now.

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

I finished watching last night. I started a few days ago and made around 20 minutes. I wasn't too excited. Then it changed gears and got interesting. I really enjoyed the last hour. Looking at the video footage from the 60's brought a huge grin to my face. I'd forgot how young we were. I'll watch it again on down the road. It was fun to bring old memories back with the music. The Gong show part was great! I don't regret buying a copy. Smile

Finally, after all the short trips & other commitments, finally just made a date-night with the Admiral and we just finished watching it. (Haven't been thru the 2nd disc yet or any out-takes or other stuff.)

We're both really pleased with it especially considering what a long labor of love it represents for so many who kept plugging to make the thing. We're both at that age where ALL that music filled our lives in one respect or another when we were young.

Tomorrow maybe for a run-through of everything that remains on the discs. Haven't been back to that area (mostly) since '69, but even seeing the Capitol records building fondly reminded me of a favorite uncle whose glass company had the contract for the glass in that puppy when it was built and, back in the day, that was a lot of damn windows.

Great movie. And yeah, I'd never seen Tommy's Gong Show appearance either. Perfectly fits his sense of humor.

Seeing this and knowing that many of us are music business fanatics and have affinity toward seeing as much as they can get their paws on, I am responding with this to help satisfy the insatiable urge and hope if I mistakenly left any out that you would forgive me and feel free to add to this list.

My copy of the Wrecking Crew in blue ray is expected in a few days and to my understanding it was just released on June 16th. This discussion prompted me to make the list I have always promised myself to make. Some other great music Business titles are:

Atlantic 60: the house that Ahmet built

20 feet from stardom

The greatest Ears in Town: the Arif Mardin Story

Sound City : Dave Grohl

Standing in the Shadows of Motown

Searching for Sugar Man : Sixto Rodriguez

Dreams to Remember : the Legacy of Otis Reading

Robert Wyatt : Free Will and Testament

Move me Brightly : documentary concert film celebrating Jerry Garcia's 70th birthday

Muscle Shoals

Respect Yourself : the Stax Records Story

Good ole Frida : Frida Kelly

Tom Dowd and the Language of Music

Produced by George Martin

Beware of Mr. Baker : Ginger Baker Story

Who the F**K is Arthur Fogel ( way important eye opener )(and as far as I know it's a web buy only)(or find it on Netflix)

I ain't in it for my health: a film about Levon Helm

Super mensch: the legend of Shep Gordon

The life of Riley (that would be B.B.)

Inventing David Geffen

Then some others:

Brian Wilson presents SMILE

When you're Strange : a film about the Doors

The Last Days of Cordelia Records (somewhat surf)

The Atlantics : flight of the surf dogs

Pounding Surf : a drummers guide to surf music

Reverb Junkies : An Orange County Rockumentary

As far as I know there are no copies out yet on LOVE AND MERCY
and help me out on what that other title:
Is about and in theaters?

So agreed BTD .. that one on WHO THE F**K is Arthur Fogel Will get you too, even if your not a fan of some of the bands, any music promoter has something to learn from this guy. It was amazing ... I saw it on NETFLIX but you can pay out a simple download from Amazon if you need to. My jaw is still dragging on the ground. It seems it is not yet available on a disc.

As long as the thread mentions other docs, I will add there is a doc
on Big Star "Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me" released almost 2 years ago
on blu ray & dvd. Much of the movie is already on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvWjBUcIFYs

Also, just released June 30,
"The Decline Of Western Civilization Collection"
on Blu Ray & dvd from Shout! Factory.
All 3 movies, 400 minutes, with a
new 2K Scan Of Each Film Supervised By Director Penelope Spheeris.

We watched 'Love and Mercy', came home and watched 'The Wrecking Crew' . It was an awesome double feature.

Thanks DaveF..I finally got around to watching it on Netflix. That is one sad story. ( Even sadder than watching "searching for Sugar Man. ) Amazing tunes and still they are not THAT well known but seemed to have influenced hundred of other bands.

My blue ray copy of the WRECKING CREW arrived on 6 July 2015!

Just noticed last night that Wrecking Crew is now on Netflix (or has it been for a while and I've just been out of the loop?).

More cowbell?? Nah...More Reverb!!

The Wrecking Crew is on Netflix?? Telling the wife to tune her up and run it. (she runs the netflix machinery, I dunno how). When Svenghoulie is over we can watch it!

Enjoying the surf,sun and sand!!

OK, pretty good stuff there. Wish there had been more surf related material there but I'm cool with what there was!!
