Really cool documentary pretty much revolving around the Neve board in the Sound City recording studio.

Gotta love a Neve.  I worked with the Neve 5088 at UC Denver when I was working on my audio degree.  It came out of Caribou Studios (Nederland, CO) in 1985 after the fire.  Miraculously, the console survived.

Rusty, not sure if there is a streaming link. But here is the wiki on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_City_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_City_)(film)

+1!
I just saw this yesterday on Palladia (cable channel) and thought it was VERY cool!
The Dave Grohl directed 2013 documentary (he bought the Neve board from Sound City in LA) will be airing tomorrow night (Wednesday the 21st) on VH-1 Classic at 7 pm CDT, and is also available as a DVD. It's likely to re-air on Palladia as well.

they also recorded an album in Grohl's home studio with the Neve featuring famous artist like Paul McCartney, Krist Noveselic, Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, Corey Taylor, Josh Homme, Trent Reznor and some others, here it is on YouTube

the whole documentary started out suppose to be about the Neve and it's history but Grohl said it turned into being about how to retain the human element in a world that's dominated by computers making everything perfect which I completely agree. Nothing quite like getting together with some good friends and jamming all night long!

My wife got an early copy of the Foo Fighters Wasting Light (also recorded at Grohl's home studio)and it includes an actually piece of the analog tape.

Good flick!  
 
I had one of those Yamaha basses that Reznor and Homme were using....  Regret selling it, especially to a guy who in turn butchered it..... Closest thing to a bi-sonic Starfire you will ever find for
