The greatest rock and roll documentary ever made is “Beware Mr. Baker” about the great Cream and Blind Faith drummer Ginger Baker but I have recently watched two extraordinary docs that every fan must see. The Jeff Beck documentary on Showtime and the Joe Cocker documentary on Netflix are phenomenal and must see television for anyone that is a fan of rock and roll music and performance. Two great rock and roll icons and two great stories provide great insight regarding their determination, unique talents and musical genius. Joe Cocker is no longer with us however Jeff Beck is still in the studio and out on the road so if you have not seen him check him out and, if you have, check him out again real soon. Coincidentally both Mr. Beck And Mr. Cocker recorded and performed some of the great Beatles cover versions you will ever hear. How is Joe Cocker not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? For his Woodstock performance alone he should be in, especially now when the Def Lepperds, Chesp Tricks and Bon Jovis of the world are getting inducted (don’t even get me started about Janet Jackson and some others).

A Day in the Life (with a little help from my friends)

Rock on!
