50 Years of SNL Music - With Some Breaks

This two-hour special, curated by Questlove and company, celebrates Saturday Night Live's legendary musical history. It's a fun watch-but the biggest drawback? The commercials. There are a lot of them. The special is structured around these breaks, disrupting the flow and making it harder to stay fully engaged. I even had to split my viewing over a couple of days.That said, the behind-the-scenes stories are fascinating-just brief. With SNL's deep well of musical moments, I wanted more. Still, what's there is enjoyable, offering a glimpse into the fast-paced world of making these performances happen. It truly takes a village to pull off a live show like SNL, and the fact that they've done it successfully for 50 years is undeniable.The opening and closing segments are particularly well-edited. Questlove and company really brought the musicality here-as they should! The scale of talent that has passed through Studio 8H is staggering-and yet, even with two hours, this special only scratches the surface.Hopefully, one day, we'll get a full docuseries that dives deeper into SNL's musical legacy. It's a fascinating subject. And, of course-it's live!TL/DR: Worth the watch-but brace yourself for a ton of commercials!

WOW!!! Just WOW!!!'

What a great documentary on music. Questlove did an amazing job with this. The intro alone is one of the best remixes I've ever heard yet seen. The love of music is all over this. And the performances blow your mind. There was so many people. I didn't realize that were on there. I'm hoping that we have access to all the performances separate at some point that would be really great. Love all the interviews of all the diverse individuals. This was one of the platforms of live music on television. Some amazing artist that I've been able to see live, this definitely influenced me seeing them. Check it out!
