Great stuff here. I'm wondering if there is anymore such Doc's regarding some of the bands involved, or about some of the popular Favs I should check out, ie-Sabbath, Mountain, Hawkwind, Blue Cheer, Thin Lizzy, etc. I appreciate the suggestions.
Maybe I shoulda posted in the Gen discussion forum?
There is a good BBC documentary about Hawkwind, in multiple parts - you can find it on YouTube (or was that Google Video)
Great, that's a start. Thanks. I'll start the search.
i've been wanting to see this, had trouble finding it
Such hawks, Such Hounds is a good movie but I thought it could have been better. They skip over some bands completely and some of the music clips go on too long. The segment on desert rock is good but why did Fatso Jetson get some much coverage? They talk about Stoner Rock but there is no Fu Manchu, just minor complaints really but it could have been more complete.
I bought this at Princeton Record Exchange a few months ago for $3. I keep forgetting to watch it.

I bought this DVD a few months and I still haven't watched it. I need to make some time for it.
Make some time to watch it, man. Such Hawks is a great DVD. I've watched it over and over a few times. I agree that it could have been better. It could have been longer and it could have covered some bands that weren't included, or covered some things longer. While it is not perfect, it is damn near close. Good music and good video.
Also makes you realize that many of the musicians we all love here on this website still have "real" jobs to keep themselves going. They are not living on the money made from the music. Really too bad.
great stuff, saw it a few months back
you could nit pick it, but really, how many are making docu's about the music we love?
my only complaint is that i just got a lcd tv, and lo-res dvds really set me back:(
i'll have to check this thing out. on a related topic, does anyone know what ever happened to that slow southern steel documentary?
got to see this in a theater then bought the DVD as soon as I could. just about freaked out when Across the River came on. had never heard a second of their music and was not expecting video of them. rad.
