Talent: Neil Young, Emmylou Harris
Why It Rocks: Demme again, this time mixing concert film with engaging documentary as Neil Young goes through one of the more traumatic times of his life (a brain aneurysm, the death of his father) as he records a new album and tours to promote it.
Fans of classic Young tracks will also be pleased by the decision to bolster the running time with a selection of previous work picked by the man himself.
Heartbreaking, insightful and ultimately uplifting, it's another great job from the director.

You guys clearly forgot to mention the Beastie Boys, Awsome I shot that! 50 different cameras seamlessly edited together and a back catalogue that has sabotage in it!!!

Good list, but Meredith Hunter, the person killed by a member of the Hell's Angels at Altamont Speedway is a man, not a woman.

This list is hugely lacking in not mentioning "Urgh: A Music War".

Uh, in a word, No. What about Pink Floyd's Live in Pompeii (what if a band held a concert and no one came?)? Festival Express? Joe Cocker's Madogs and Englishmen? Dave Chapelle's Block Party (Michael Gondry!!)? Marvin Gaye live at Montreaux? The Concert for Bangladesh? Bittersweet Motel? Scratch? With the exception of This Is It, I've seen every film on this list and I'll agree with Stop Making Sense & Last Waltz is by far the best concert film, etc. But Gimme Shelter above c********r Blues??? C'mon.

Oh and Wilco's "I Am Trying To Break Your Heart" - where else do you see a band sell their record twice to the same label???
