“Suite:  Judy Blue Eyes”

from Woodstock

Most musical films feature performances staged specifically for the movie audience.  Concert films are something else altogether.  The music is performed for the live audience, and the filmmakers’ job is to capture the essence of the event.  Sometimes the focus is on center stage, sometimes on the periphery.  Concert films are documentaries in the most basic sense, capturing for the record what happened and ensuring it will not be forgotten.

This week, selections from concert films worth remembering.
