    Chasing Trane - On Netflix about John Coltrane
    Long Time Running - Netflix....The Tragically Hip's last tour

    ....both are excellent!!!
    I haven't seen the Trane video yet.  Definitely on m list!  The Hip show sounds great too, though I'm guessing rather sad as well.
    Yes, very sad.  But amazing as well, a great tribute to Gord's spirit.  I teared up many times.

    A Band Called Death - It's about these guys in the earliesh 70s that made a punk album, but it predates the punk explosion.  They recorded it, couldn't get signed, and it got shelved.  They self release a 45 and that's it.   The documentary is more about the guys, what happened to them etc.... and what led to people discovering the music.

    Searching for Sugarman - It's about a guy that made an album, nothing happened to it, and he spent his life doing construction.    It turns the album was megahuge in South Africa, and the movieis about them trying to find out what happened to Rodriguez.    It's pretty awesome.

    Other Docs:

    Runnin Down a Dream (Tom Petty doc)
    It Might Get Loud (doc with Jimmy Page, The Edge, and Jack White)
    PJ20
    Foo Fighters - Sonic Highways Miniseries is super awesome (they go to different cities in North America, and you get a doc on the music there and it's history)
    Foo Fighters - Back and Forth

    I'm sure I could think of more.  Those first two are amazing.. especially considering nobody is familiar with the musicians in them.

    My favourite music documentaries are "Searching for Sugar-man" (story of Rodriguez) and "Not Dead Yet" (About guitarist Jason Becker, who has ALS and is still composing music even though all he can move is his eyes)

    I love Searching for Sugarman, as others have mentioned.  There is a new David Bowie one on HBO tonight, called the Last Five Years.  Hoping it's good.

    I can't believe I missed/have never heard of the Mother Love Bone/Andrew Wood one others have mentioned.  Trying to find it, is it called Malfunkshun?  Anyone know the best place to see it now?

    Defiant Ones about Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre is an amazing documentary on HBO.

    Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story is a 2005 documentary film based on the life of Andrew Wood, singer/songwriter for the Seattle-based alternative rock bands Malfunkshun and Mother Love Bone. The film includes interviews with fellow Seattle musicians and friends such as Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Jeff Ament, and Stone Gossard.

    Eric Clapton - A Life In 12 Bars (Showtime doc)  I learned a lot, kinda long, but overall very good. There's a ton of old footage.  I'm surprised he survived his drug and alcohol addictions.

    I recently finished up Now More Than Ever: The History of Chicago. I thought it was well done. You'd like it if you know any of the music of the band, Chicago. It's on Netflix.

    Saw The Decline of Western Civilization last night.   Never seen it before.  Pretty much about the LA punk scene in '79-'80.  Kinda funny to see a young Keith Morris and Pat Smear.  Wasn't too familiar with a few of the bands but knew most of them through reputation (Germs, Circle Jerks, X, Black Flag, Fear)
