I watched two shows of note this

weekend. First was Rocketman,

which I liked. I also watched “The

making of wish you were here“ a
2012 documentary with interviews

with the band members. It delved
into how Syd Barretts decent into

mental illness affected them and

still does today. Excellent program

[MaVolta]

@BeatleloverKT  -  I look forward to seeing Rocketman.  There is also a docu-interview with Sir Elton from 2019 after the book and movie had been released. It was on Amazon Prime and lasts about an hour. 

I also watched the "WYWH" documentary, and thought it was very well done.

This is from a few days back, but I just noticed it. The Stones have released a “new” song that they recorded 47 years ago with Jimmy Page. It will be on the re-release of Goats Head Soup 2020, along with a few more never published demos, outtakes, etc. Some of the comments on YT are funny. Here is the link to Scarlet.

The comments were pretty funny.
