The last time we did this was in 2014, and to say that the form has produced a number of classics since then would be an understatement. So in honor of Peter Jackson’s Get Back - a new six-episode look back at the Beatles putting together the album Let It Be even as they were beginning to fall apart - we’ve compiled a list of the 70 greatest music documentaries of all time: the concert films, fly-on-the-wall tour chronicles, punk and hip-hop and jazz time capsules, and career assessments of everyone from Amy Winehouse to the Who that have set the standard and stood the test of time. Not all of them, of course, are created equal. It’s never been easier to make a music documentary these days. And thanks to new access to archives and updated technology, a whole generation of filmmakers have come up learning the art of docu-portraits and genre breakdowns that run the gamut from sub-subgenres to broad stem-to-stern histories of rock, jazz and country-and-western. A number of documentarians saw the advantage of capturing a number of legendary artists and bands in their heyday and/or once-in-a-lifetime performances - partially for posterity, partially for plain old reportage and partially for the second-hand high of it all. When it comes to historical musical moments, however, there’s nothing like seeing the real thing.
