A new curated music doc streaming site, The Coda Collection, is launching on Amazon Prime
Music Features Coda
We’ve had nearly every kind of niche streaming site available: Shudder for horror movie enthusiasts, BroadwayHD for theater kids, BritBox for anglophiles… The list goes on. But what we hadn’t seen yet is a streaming site that focuses on film-based music content. Now there is: The Coda Collection launches today via Amazon Prime Video Channels. You can find rare concert films, music documentaries, and docuseries, spanning every genre.
The Coda Collection is has tons of exclusive concert films in particular, including Music, Money, Madness…Jimi Hendrix in Maui, The Rolling Stones On The Air, Johnny Cash At San Quentin, Miranda Lambert: Revolution Live By Candlelight, and more. For those who are looking forward to finding new music documentaries, there are plenty of those, too. This includes the upcoming Dave Grohl documentary, PJ Harvey’s A Dog Called Money, John Lennon’s Gimme Some Truth, and more.
The people behind The Coda Collection are CEO Jim Spinello, director/producer John McDermott, Jimi Hendrix’s sister Janie Hendrix, Yoko Ono, and entertainment lawyer Jonas Herbsman. In a press statement about the streaming site, Ono said, “John [Lennon] was always on the cutting edge of music and culture. The Coda Collection will be a new way for fans to connect on a deeper level.”
Janie also added, “The way the world appreciates music is evolving and changing. The Coda Collection is how we grow with that change. It transcends basic music streaming and takes fans on a real journey into the heart of the songs they love and the artists, like Jimi Hendrix, who created those songs. There will always be the desire to know more about Jimi, and what drove his creativity. So much went into his concerts and performances. There was background, a backstory, and depth to it all. Coda reveals all the various dimensions, and I’m proud to be part of making it happen.”
The Coda Collection is available to Amazon Prime members for $4.99 per month (for U.S. residents only), with a free 7-day trial. It’ll be available globally later on this year.

In two years it will only be repeats of Ridiculousness.
I remember a time when you could watch music on TV 24-hours a day. Trying to remember what they called it . . .
I hope they are able to filter out the 80% of music docs that are terrible, and you can always tell which ones they are: it’s almost always about a hagiography about a “scene” that not that many people experienced, with an over-inflated sense of importance, and almost always in New York City.
Yeah, what, only a few thousand people went to Kool Herc’s block parties or saw Dylan in the folk cafes so we do we got to keep hearing about that marginal shit? Let’s see a doc about Kenny Loggins or Eddie Rabbit or some other million-seller instead!
It’s a streaming channel, of course 80% of it is going to be horrible.
As someone who just puts on a concert video or a doc about a studio (the one on Hansa is pretty good) whenever they need a pick-me-up, I am excited about this. And I already have Prime, so: bonus.

Whats the best music doc about the worst music?
my vote: until the light takes us (wild story, pretty good film, dreadful music by terrible people)
I was momentarily disappointed that I couldn’t get at this as an EU resident, then looked at the selection on offer and found a Yes concert and something called The Great Songwriters: Noel Gallagher and .. no, I’m good. I’d rather catch a Geiger counter registering fatal dosages live than a Yes concert and in the pantheon of great songwriters Noel Gallagher doesn’t even make it into the top 50% of the Britpop lot, ranking somewhere behind Richard Hawley and Crispin Mills.
I love music docs and also movies about music like Control, Frank, Hard Core Logo and Whiplash, which would be nice if they had along with the docs. I’d check this out if it was available in Canada. I’d be very disappointed if they didn’t have The Decline of Western Civilization, The Germs’ What We Do Is Secret, Hype!, Korn’s Who Then Now, Dandy Warhols’ Dig! and so on, I used to watch those all the time as a teen.
