Sound City DVD

The documentary SOUND CITY that Dave Grohl and friends put together is great.  Add it to your collection to be watched over & over & over again . . . How this "board" which was purchased by a guy who just wanted to make some money in the music business - became a unique and legendary sound for all these different upcoming musicians - and the classic albums they produced at Sound City . . . it's just a great storyline.  Some critics say the later part of this feature is just Grohl promoting himself . . . but, I disagree.  It's like a kid who appreciates an antique car, an old Harley, a classic guitar . . . Grohl took the board down,
disassembled it, packed it, shipped it with care - and reassembled this thing to make music again - preserving it's heritage, to function - what it was designed to do.  The final scene with (basically Nirvana) but with Paul McCartney filling in is totally awesome.  What a rad song, and McCartney is just a god of rock who can do anything.  Nothing compares.  It almost brought tears to my eyes - you could just see Grohl, Smear, Nova . . . just diggin' it - like a dream.  Buy it - Watch it and Save it.
