Morgan Neville

The concert featured numerous guest artists, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, and Scorsese captures each performance with the same cinematic care, making The Last Walls feel like a rock and roll epic.

20 feet from stardom morgan neville's 2013 documentary about backup singers uses split screen and layered audio to emphasize how these voices support and enhance lead vocals when you see darlene love mary clatton lisa fisher and others perform the film visually represents their contributions literally showing them 20 feet from stardom while making the stars performances possible Mary Clayton's story about recording backing vocals for the Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter going into labor shortly after that powerful performance becomes a metaphor for how backup singers give everything to recordings that will make others famous.

In conclusion, the technical and artistic innovation in music documentaries has transformed them from simple performance records into genuine cinema, where directors' choices about framing, editing, sound design, and narrative structure shape how we experience and understand the music being documented.

Mr. Mike, as we wrap up, what do you see as the future of music documentaries and how are they changing and what stories remain to be told?

Um, it's so good.

But one of the things I found, I was talking to them backstage and we were having a conversation, but then, uh, someone mentioned that Morgan Neville is making a documentary of them and he, and he just made the Lauren documentary, which I thought was

Oh, I still haven't watched that.

Oh, that's great.

Mr. Mike, as we wrap up, what do you see as the future of music documentaries and how are they changing and what stories remain to be told?

... about his romantic life and, you know, like-

I think the thing is, like, you know, like, in 2021, uh, Morgan, the Morgan Neville documentary about him, Roadrunner, came out, you know, which is I, I think in a lot of ways, like, a pretty conventional bio-documentary-

Yeah

... that is running through his life and talking to all these people from his life.

A, like, husb- or husband and wife, I believe, production partner, uh, producing partners came to him and started filming kind of a pilot for what would end up becoming No Reservations.

I was watching, uh, the documentary Roadrunner, which is directed by Morgan Neville, um, that kinda covers, you know, the, the rise to fame in, in his later life and then ultimately his death that came out in, I think, 2021.

And so that gets into some of the details about how sort of the TV personality Anthony Bourdain came to be.

Yeah, it's really interesting, you know, looking at his, sort of his profile of his whole media career.

...

Darlene Love, who was featured rather prominently in 20 Feet from Stardom, uh, which of course is the Oscar winner by Morgan Neville.

So there's, there's gonna be a musical presence for sure in Toronto.

I mean, there's a, there's...

of 10.

Yeah, it's made by Morgan Neville, who directed a film called, well, directed a documentary called 20 Feet From Stardom, all about the backing singers who are backed up, like, every major, like, sort of rock act and, like, gospel soul.

And it's, like, that's the idea, they're 20 feet from stardom.

No one's watching them, but they're on every major stage.
