Artist Documentaries I'm Still Waiting For...

I would love to see the following nice comprehensive documentaries:

The Four Seasons (Jersey Boys doesn't count)
The Incredible String Band
Elton John
NRBQ
Van Dyke Parks
Bonnie Raitt
The Shadows
Simon & Garfunkel
Cat Stevens
James Taylor
10cc
XTC

 

Bump

 

Roxy Music
Mark Hollis / Talk Talk
Kate Bush
Simon & Garfunkel

 

CCR
Byrds
Bob Seger
George Strait
Mellencamp
Kinks

 

Replacements

The Fugs

Velvet Underground

 

Tangerine Dream
Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry
Vangelis
Goblin

 

That one is going to be tough as she seems to have little to no interest in being involved in anything like that.

I have a copy of Q here that devotes 22 pages to an overview of her career, and a rave review of her recent shows...and she declined to be interviewed.

 

Willie Nelson
Simon and Garfunkel
Little Richard
Duke Ellington

 

J Geils Band

 

Roxy Music have a documentary with archive footage and members interviewed. Very lukewarm reviews.

 

The latest of two or three:

 

Jeff Beck was supposedly working on one in 2009 or so.

 

Warren Zevon

 

I haven't seen it, but there was a documentary on the Replacements called Color Me Obsessed: A Film About the Replacements that came out a few years back: http://www.spin.com/articles/replacements-color-me-obsessed-documentary-youtube/



Personally, I'd love to see a documentary on Chris Whitley (in the works) and Mark Eitzel/American Music Club.

 

Color Me Obsessed doesn't count?
There are docs for some of the other bands above. What is the standard everyone is looking for?


edit: DJ LX beat me by about 1/2 second

 

An even modestly comprehensive documentary on Modern Jazz, to compliment the Ken Burns doc (which focused almost exclusively on pre-1960 jazz, but mostly the swing and big band eras).

Everything from Charlie Parker on up to today would be great, with the biggest focus on WWII up to about 1980, but it should also include more recent developments like M-Base and the like.

 

Color Me Obsessed definitely does not count. It's really more of a documentary about Replacements fans, and a pretty boring one at that.

 

Pink Floyd?? I'm not aware of a good documentary ...

 

Van Morrison

 

Wow!. That sound more like a bad reality show!

 

Loads of Velvets docs already
The Byrds and The Small Faces are the big omissions for me.

 

What's wrong with the British Invasion DVD from a couple years ago?

Well the title puts me off for a start - is it a US production?

There is this,
but they deserve better

 

I have trouble finding a single fault with it.
