So, to help you through until we can all go out and hear music without fear: Shot That! and the 1976 Outlaw Country doc Heartworn Highways are all in that category. Neil Young’s Rust Never Sleeps 1980′s No Nukes, starring Bruce Springsteen Jazz On A Summer’s Day, about the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival Beastie Boys’ Awesome I. I left out a number of personal favorites because they aren’t streamable. All 13 can all be streamed on services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or YouTube.
The other filtering factor is availability. The list is arranged not from best to worst, but in the chronological order of the events captured on film. Some have behind-the-scenes elements, but all are performance films. To that end, I’ve compiled a baker’s dozen of concert films made over the course of more than 50 years of pop music history.
So how does one get a live music fix while social distancing and self-quarantining?īy hunkering down on the sofa and watching music movies at home, reliving those halcyon, pre-pandemic days when standing elbow-to-elbow with masses of fans in muddy fields didn’t mean taking your life into your hands. The concert business is in crisis, with the coronavirus causing cancellation or postponement of giant festivals like South by Southwest and Coachella, and Philadelphia’s ban on gatherings of more than 1,000 people making arena-sized musical experiences out of the question.
