Rock documentaries make you want to view the real thing
I lost the posting of the guy/ girl complaining about rock documentaries. The 3 minute fragments shown there just make you mad, and what's worse, those documentaries are mostly made up out of other, older rock documentaries (Even Beatles Antology has huge portions of existing documentary editing in there!). there's this tiny fragment of the early electric Miles Davis (with Keith Jarrett) in really bright quality that makes me keep my TV set. I still hope one day, one day,this concert will get a re-run, or a dvd release. Then of course, there's the scarse Zappa, Zorn, Coltrane, Mingus/ Dolphy, Pastorius and early James Brown footage and so on and on and on. music documentaries are teasers. Remco

The worst are the VH1 docs where you get about thirty seconds of really compelling footage you've never seen before, complete with decent sound, and before a minute goes by, all of a sudden there's at cut to someone like Jane Wieldlin or a bonehead fr SPIN making "incisive comments" with hendrix or whomever is all but inaudible. Terrible and frustrating. skip h NP: Keith Jarrett, Bop-Be
