This is a documentary that I really want to see. It was shown at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and is scheduled for release in August.
It’s already available to save on NetFlix.

From the film’s press kit is this brief synopsis:
Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play.

And here’s a review on IMDB:
An incredible doc featuring The Edge, Jimmy Page, and Jack White. The film is very, very well done. The opening credits are pretty cool. The thing is, at many times this film seems to work best for Edge and Page. It really is amazing to watch Edge go over the technicalities involved in creating his trademark style. Page is incredible; it’s especially funny in one scene, where the other two are singing, and he flatly declares, “I can’t sing!” – hilarious. Jack White seems to be a little out of his element here. He’s the young gun of course, and over time perhaps he’ll be thought of in a similar light to his legendary predecessors. But really, there is nothing to complain about. There is some classic footage of U2 (dressed in new wave clothes??) that may leave you laughing! The vintage reels of Page and U2 still give me the chills. Guggenheim has done a fantastic job. I look forward to seeing it again.

I was really excited to get this DVD set for Father’s Day. I have been trying to find a DVD copy of Woodstock for several years. When I saw the 40th anniversary collector’s edition I had to order it. When it arrived I didn’t open it so I had no idea what the set contained. Inside was all this stuff:

Here’s a short video on Amazon.com about the contents of the package – Woodstock Package

The round emblem on the outside of the package is actually an iron-on patch and that material on the box is really suede leather with fringe.

I remember very clearly going to see the Woodstock movie in 1970 at the local drive-in theater. We were blown away by it. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever figure back then that I could actually own a copy of the movie (or any movie for that matter).

I am looking forward to watching this with the sound system.

”The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.” — Cicero, 55 BC
