The Passing Show - The Life & Music Of Ronnie Lane (2006)

"An excellent overview of Lane's career, smoothly integrating choice footage of all his major musical groups (the Small Faces, the Faces, and Ronnie Lane's Slim Chance) with interviews of a wealth of his most important colleagues and friends. Those include Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones of the Faces; producer Glyn Johns; various musicians who played with Lane in his solo career; Eric Clapton; Pete Townshend; two of Lane's ex-wives; and some filmed conversations with Lane himself, including ones in which he was suffering from MS. Whether playing mod R&B, psychedelia, early-'70s hard rock, or gypsy-flavored roots music, the point's repeatedly made that Lane, unusually for a rock star of his time, cared more for music and doing his own thing than the materialistic trappings of fame. Also on the DVD are relatively inessential bonus features with a few more anecdotes from the interviewees, and a few Lane songs performed by some of the musicians who participated in the documentary."
