Show Notes
Today's episode is on "George Harrison: Living in the Material World", a 2011 film about The Quiet One directed by Martin Scorsese. It's available on Max. Our guest today is George Harrison and Bob Dylan superfan Britt Eisnor. Check out her excellent Dylan content on Instagram. This movie is about George's mysticism, more or less, and weaves in and out of his very famous life story. There are some great talking heads, not all of whom are great people (I'm looking at you, Phil Spector) or come of as well as they think they do (and now I'm looking at you, Eric Clapton), and one conspicuous absence. Also, this movie would have you believe that George Harrison only recorded one solo album. It seems like his career as a musician continued on past 1970, but who can really tell for sure?

Rock Docs is back after a lengthy hiatus — we've been saving up our discussion of the artist behind the second-worst-selling album in the history of Columbia Records, and the jam band world he helped pioneer. Today's episode is about "Basically Frightened: The Musical Madness of Colonel Bruce Hampton," a 2012 documentary about the avant-garde artist behind the Aquarium Rescue Unit. Our guest this week, author Mike Ayers, is the author of the excellent new oral history, "Sharing in the Groove: The Untold Story of the '90s Jam Band Explosion and the Scene that Followed." Ayers is our tour guide not just through the career of Hampton and ARU, but Blues Traveler, Spin Doctors, Phish, the Dave Mathews Band, the Greyboy Allstars, Medeski Martin and Wood and even, at Andy's urging, ekoostik hookah.

Today's episode of Rock Docs is about "Brian Wilson: Long Promised Road", a 2021 film about the late Beach Boys musical genius directed by Brent Wilson (no relation). Our guest today is Dan Koch, who previously joined us to discuss "Gimme Danger", about Iggy & the Stooges, a very dissimilar tale of brothers coming together in the 60's to create some stone-cold classics while indulging in rock & roll excess. Long Promised Road takes us for a ride, literally, with Brian and his buddy Jason Fine as Brian, late in life, revisits places from his past. We also see Brian working in the studio on a new song and enjoy a curious mix of talking heads. Check out Treble's review of Brian's masterpiece "Pet Sounds".

Today's episode is about "Becoming Led Zeppelin", a 2025 documentary directed by Bernard MacMahon. The movie covers the members' early lives and the formation of the band through the album Led Zeppelin 2. It features a rare lost interview with John Bonham, new interviews with the surviving band members, and some restored footage. But does all of that add up to a good movie?
