The other day i watched the documentary Red Hot Chilli Peppers: Funky Monks which i found really enjoyable and gave a good insight into the Chillies Blood Sugar era. So i was wondering what your favourite music documentaries are?

Not really into them that much but I love A Tribe Called Quest's documentary, Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of a Tribe Called Quest from 2011.

"Shut Up and Play the Hits" is a fantastic documentary showing the end of LCD Soundsystem, James Murphy's various life philosophies, and their final concert at Madison Square Garden.

Also, it's not a documentary, but Talking Heads' film "Stop Making Sense" is an essential concert film.

If I had to choose one I would pick probably The Devil and Daniel Johnston.

My favorite concert movie is Stop Making Sense .

This is Spinal Tap or Gimme Shelter (1970).
