There appears to be a good week in progress at the moment on the TV channel BBC Four called California Dreamin Week. Of most interest to me is the Neil Young concert on Friday night at 20:30, recorded 1971 during a brilliant spell song-writing wise (around this time he wrote among others, classic albums such as Harvest and my personal favourite After The Gold Rush, although he hadn't yet swerved off into the ditch - another great period of song writing).
The whole scene facinates me though with Cosby, Stills and Nash, Joni Mitchell and others.
The flagship documentary appears to be Hotel California: LA from The Byrds to The Eagles. It's repeated many times. I've recorded it at home on the PVR. Based on what I have waiting to be watched, I should get to see it in a few months time if I'm lucky.
