Rating: - Not just a PBS movie
I was very fortunate this June to be able to see Les on his 93rd birthday at the Iridium. It was a once in a lifetime event. I had already seen the movie last Fall on PBS and had videotaped it off the air. After seeing him in NY, I decided to purchase the DVD because of the "extras" on it.
I'm SO glad I did! Besides the TV clips, photos and other goodies, there is a section from his 90th birthday at Iridium. This is a keepsake as it was just like the night I was there. In addition, I ... Read More
Rating: - Les Paul Fans Gotta Have This!
This is a great piece for any Les Paul fan and guitar enthusiast! It goes to the Iridium in NY, his home in NJ, shows much of the original equipment he invented, the junker Lincoln in his driveway and Les is just an absolute hoot for a 90 year old guy (93 now). I've met him on 2 occassions and it was definately a huge experience! Get to NYC and go to the Iridium Jazz Club and see him for yourself!
Rating: - Les Paul, Sound Pioneer, Still Kicking
At the occasion of Les Paul's 90th birthday, the filmmakers chronicle not just the fascinating life of the inventor of the hardbody electric guitar and a slew of music technologies, but the life of American music throughout most of the 20th century.

Rating: - What a life!
This is a fabulous biography of an amazing man. This is a must see for any guitarist. Les Paul was a great guitar player that perhaps does not get enough credit as such because of his choice to make a living rather than just make music, as many of his jazz contemporaries did. Not content or more likely not capable of being satisfied just being a world class musician, he was also one of the inventors of the solid body electric guitar as well as multi-track recording. He is also the namesake of one ... Read More
Rating: - A wonderful documentary on a seminal figure in music
I was amazed at how much about Les Paul I learned from this documentary. I thought I was pretty knowledgeable, since I have a couple of Les Paul and Mary Ford albums. I was completely unaware how long Les had been active as a professional musician before that. I vaguely knew that he had played a fair bit for Bing Crosby, but not much more than that. And of course I was aware of how crucial he had been for the development of recording techniques. Many regard Tom Dowd as perhaps the most important ... Read More
