The History of Rock & Roll. Ten part series.
I thought it was well done but there's no Progressive Rock episode.

If you liked ProgRock Britannia especially Bruford part, you'll enjoy this one I am sure. Here's a snippet of one of my favorite episodes, very funny how Phil Collins describes the first time Gabriel decided to appear on stage wearing a fox on his head and a red dress.  

I've got a couple of Genesis documentaries One on VHS and one on DVD.  That was really good, thanks.

A documentary about the Canet Rock Festival 1975 in the Catalan (Spanish) town of Canet, regarded as "the Catalan mini-Woodstock".

Not too Prog, there was a really Eclectic mix of Folk, Jazz-Rock-Fusion, Prog-Rock, Flamenco etc. Important is to consider the historical background, this happened while fascist dictator Franco was still alive and in power (he would die a few months later) and it's a nice document of the revolutionary and hippie youth movement in Spain in those times.

There's too little filming of the actual music performances and too much interviewing in Spanish / Catalan which will put non-Spanish viewers off, but it's still an interesting document. Musically some of the most recommended sections are:

0h17m   Barcelona Traction:  a great JR-F trio of keyboards, bass and drums.
0h32m   Iceberg:  one of the top Catalan JR-F bands ever
0h43m   Pau Riba:   "the Catalan Frank Zappa", he was totally nuts LOL
0h54m   Orquestra Mirasol with Maria Del Mar Bonet: the pioneers of Catalan JR-F with one of the most celebrated Catalan female Folk singer-songwriters in a one-off performance, they would never play together again.
1h04m   Companyia Electrica Dharma: one of the biggest Folk-Jazz-Rock-Fusion Catalan bands, with theatrical elements included.

The best mockumentary of all time!

And I love both The Last Waltz and The Concert for Bangladesh as far as concert films.

And there is the film on Richard Thompson and I posted a review here on PA ... the first 30 minutes is all about Fairport Convention, though he never mentions the name of Sandy Denny. And I always thought that she deserved a special somewhere. Her voice was too pretty.

My favourite biopic is Martin Scorsese's No Direction Home (about Bob Dylan).

Yes, as embarrassing as it is, I haven't even seen the Woodstock doc.  I should definitely watch that someday.

I'll admit I'm not much of a Dylan fan, but I am a Scorsese fan.  Might keep that in mind too.  Didn't he also do some sort of Rolling Stones film in recent years?
 
Funny item here ... you are a Scorcese fan, and you did not know that Martin was one of the camera folks under Wadleigh's direction?
 
WOW!
 
Test Question:
 
Which moments in the Woodstock film, fit the way that Martin has filmed things for at least 40 years? ... I can not say that he shot them, but in many ways ... I like to say ... that some of these are fairly illustrative of Martin, and not the majority of what became the mtv generation!
