The story of Tom Dowd the great recording engineer and producer from atlantic records.
I forget the name of the flick but it's on cable and real cool.
Last Waltz is way up there a classic.
So without any further ado....
THE LAST WALTZ - I dare anyone to get BORED watching this moving concert that closed out the legenday Winterland Hall in S.F.
THE BAND, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Neil Young, and Muddy Waters...need I say more ?
WOODSTOCK A Classic...Hendrix, The Who, Wavy Gravy, CSNY, and over 50,000 groovy hippies....
FESTIVAL EXPRESS- A recent flick deatiling the 1970 trip Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead, and Bekka Bramlett's folks took up in Canada
ALMOST FAMOUS- Based on Cameron Crowes backstage adventures in the 1970's with a great soundtrack and Kate Hudson as super groupie Penny Lane
ROCK & ROLL HIGH SCHOOL- Mix in Roger Corman, P.J. Soles, Dey Young, Mary Woronov, and THE RAMONES and you've got a killer 70's cult film !!!
BTW: Anyone want to guess how Cherie makes her "cameo" and where in this flick ?
THIS IS SPINAL TAP
Getting lost backstage...exploding band members...the magic 11 and you know who appearing in this film makes a great flick !
So...which ones are yours ? [img]wink.gif[/img]

I love The Last Waltz. I loved The Band! So many greats were there besides those you mentioned. To name just a few of my favorites:
Ringo Starr
Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton
Van Morrison
Ron Wood!
I also love Woodstock but I think there should be an extra zero there. I believe there were a half a million hippies there.
I sure wish I'd been one of them!
Rock and Roll High School is FANtastic fun. I believe Phil Spector produced the Ramones for that soundtrack! Only the greatest producer ever!
It's one of my favorites, 4 sure!
Spinal Tap!!!! God, I love that movie. It's such a shame Cherie's parts were not left intact.
She looked great in that one-legged blue thingy and the 'Video Games' song, she was singing with THE DOSE when trying out for Spinal Tap's opening act opening, sounded like a way cool song.
I love how S.T. changed their collective mind about rejecting her band once they laid eyes on her!
This scene was included on the Lasar Disc version of the movie and then "ALL" of her bits were supposedly included on the Criterion DVD release, several years later.
Some other favorite Rock Movies:
A Hard Days Night
Help
Don't Look Back (Dylan)
Roadie
Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains
and so many others!
