    Fearless Freaks-A Film On The Flaming Lips
    Dig-Brain Jonestown Massacre and Dandy Warhols
    Running Down A Dream-Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

    both are by far my favorite. I want to get the new Smashing Pumpkin one as well.

    Damn, I haven't seen any of these but I would love to see them all. I watched "Imagine" recently (Lennon). It was pretty good except for a little too much Yoko.

    What about That Last Waltz? That should be the first on any list as far as I'm concerned.

    Also, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (Wilco).

    Hype! Goes into some pretty cool detail on the Seattle Music scene as Grunge was taking off. Even gives some bands that never made it as big some really cool exposure. I highly recommend.

    What about Gimme Shelter?

    Those said already: DiG!, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart

    The Devil and Daniel Johnston - awesome. This is the guy who wrote Walking the Cow.
    Some Kind of Monster - talk about watching a trainwreck. pretty interesting though.

    Still haven't seen No Direction Home. Next time I have a spare four hours.

    I like DiG a lot too. I bought it because I was a fan of the Dandys and came out liking BJM even more!

    Metal: A Headbanger's Journey -- yes that's great...even if you don't like metal. I love metal.

    Pavement's Slow Century is very good

    The Kids are Alright is excellent

    Those were the first two to come to my mind as well. Though I'd rank the Wilco dvd higher... it's the best I've ever seen.
