Peter Green: Man Of The World. (2008)
One of THE great music documentaries.
In my humble opinion, Peter Green is one of the very, very few divinely inspired guitarist/ musicians that have walked the planet. Unequalled, alongside perhaps Hendrix.
Told almost entirely by the Fleetwood Mac band members, including Peter himself, it is both triumphant and hauntingly tragic. A lot of great archival footage too. A must watch.

A few years ago, there was a report that a Roy Orbison biopic was in the works. I wonder whatever happened to that. Iād have liked to see that. He had a soap-opera life.
Hi
A bit āoffā musical genre from what you are interested in, but these may still be worth watching at some point.
Martin Scorsese Blues Series
The Jazz Loft According to W. Eugene Smith - mostly about the renowned photographer, but also a peek into an extraordinary musical time and place in NYC).
Hitsville: The Making of Motown - another special time and place
Laurel Canyon (3-part) - another special time and place
Respect Yourself: The History of Stax Records - itās on my watchlist
Andrew
Almost as good as Spinal Tap, but a real documentary 
ā¦ and āFanny. The Right to Rockā the āgirl bandā that was before all other girl bands. These ladies did rock 
There is still some inspiration to be gained from this
Or in this topic
Tom Petty: Somewhere you feel free - the making of Wildflowers
Is a great documentaries on Tom Petty.
Haha, you made me go back and check if I was just repeating myself
I think it was Richard who first shared the Anvil tip, but canāt recall where (and am too busy with a project to search 
)
Have a good day
Those Martin Scorsese film names are āRolling Thunder Revueā and āNo direction Homeā.
I am going to watch both of them. Thanks for the tip.
Since we are talking about Scorsese everyone should cheak out the movie, āThe last Waltzā. Its really amazing.
Edit
Intersting story about this movie. This is not my type of music normally whats so ever. But my mom knew I loved good guitar work and she got me this for christmas maybe 12 years ago and I never watched it. During COVID I happend to see it in out big bin of bluerays and DVDs and I was wow look at all the people performing on stage. So I watched it and was blown away. I was terribly sad that my mom had passed away already and I could not tell her what a wonderful gift it was. But i know she would be happy that i was appreciating it now.
I like music documentaries. Some great ones on Sky, maybe not so much blues/ metal but I just watched a doc on the making of Paul Wellerās album Wild Wood last night. Theirs time Iāve watched it so Iām probably biasedā¦
Some of these have been mentioned, but some of my favs are: Sound City, Muscle Shoals, It Might Get Loud, Rush: Time Stand Still, David Bowie: The Last 5 Years, Foo Fighters Sonic Highways. Plus there is one about the Pink Floyd Wall tour. I think itās Pink Floyd, 1980 The Wall Tour Documentary that was really good. If your American and remember Tower Records, then All Things Must Pass is worth a watch.
thereās a great documentary on Country Music on Arte at the moment
Its subbed in French but itās spoken in english :
https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/113630-001-A/country-music-une-histoire-populaire-des-etats-unis-1-9/
For me itās Aerosmith documentary.
Laurel Canyon ; A place in time . Not really a music documentary ,more about how the place effected the musicians that lived there in the 60s and 70s .
Standing In The Shadows of Motown - great doco on the Funk Brothers, a group of studio musicians who backed pretty much every Motown hit through the 60ās.
I think biopics belong to the works of the devil so I actively avoid them. Some documentaries I liked are the following:
Miles Electric: A Different Kind of Blue
The Beatles Anthology
David Crosby: Remember My Name
Long Strange Trip
I Called Him Morgan
The Night James Brown Saved Boston
No Direction Home: Bob Dylan
Cracked Actor
Bird on a Wire
Gimme Shelter
Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace & Music
Monterey Pop
Dont Look Back
