What's great about seeing footage shot from just one camera is that you really get a sense of what it was like to be there and watch it from your spot in the audience.

I was thinking the other day that the reason the idiots at the RnR HoF finally got around to inducting Billy Preston--after years and years, and scores of lesser talents being selected before him--was probably because someone there got word of his significant appearance and importance in the upcoming Get Back film. So they got ahead of it, and got him in. But just barely. There is a

I'm wondering if The Rooftop Performance is just that sequence from the third part of Get Back, or is it a different edit that just stays on The Beatles on the roof rather than showing interviews on the street as the music is playing? I liked this article on Get Back:

This one resonates with me more and more every year: Life goes on. It happens ev'ry day. So appreciate what you got Before it's taken away.

This tears me up. In late 1985 I had a front row center seat for the taping at the Pasadena Playhouse of a TV special she appeared on called Deja View. During her segment she was up there at the edge of the stage, standing right in front of me. She looked fantastic. When there were breaks between songs, she just stood up there waiting, and I was tempted to say something to her. I was

I haven't seen Get Back yet, but I've heard all about how it re-writes the history of those sessions as it was portrayed in Let It Be film. The shots in this footage of Mick and Keith standing in the sun and casually watching the Flying Burrito Brothers from the side of the stage breaks from the doom and gloom narrative of Gimme Shelter. Many who were at Altamont (At least those w

He was much much more than just a great actor. He was a true movie star who dominated the screen, a man whose dignity, decency, and integrity was admired by and influenced people of all races, and played a key role in the 1960's civil rights movement. The train scene with Tony Curtis in The Defiant Ones is one of the best visual metaphors of American society at that time. Sidney Poi

There was a lot of Stones material that was held back for a long time. People now forget that The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was a treasure buried in the vaults for decades...it was practically mythological for those of us who poured over the still photos and dreamed about seeing it. As far as legacy, I think the Stones--as a going concern--have always been careful about releasing

QuotePaddy How about the muscle shoals sessions... I wonder how much footage there is from the wild horses, brown sugar recording. The 2013 documentary Muscle Shoals featured all the footage from Gimme Shelter of the Stones recording there--and nothing else. A few of the shots in the Mixed Emotions video suggest that some of these sessions might have been filmed.

One thing I like about Larry is, if there is a place not to go, he will go there. Since you're a fan, in case you haven't seen it I recommend the new HBO documentary The Super Bob Einstein Movie, featuring Larry and a host of others talk about the late actor, who was best known as the deadpan stunt comedian Super Dave Osborne and also as Curb supporting cast regular Marty Funkhouser.
