ROBERT M It was a great show! I enjoyed looking back at all the great music Nicky Hopkins was part of! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Tom K What a great film!! Nicky was in my mind the greatest. His work with the Rolling Stones alone is what made me his fan. An absolute must for fans of all the great music of his time period, every day Nicky plays on something that I listen to Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/25 Full Review troy d I watched The Session Man and Wow! Nicky Hopkins was an integral part of so many great albums and songs. The video is part documentary & part memorial with much of it interviews of people in music and their memories. Nicky dealt with chronic illness most of his life and I think it had a lot to do with the choices he made as far as where he fit in the music business. Worth a watch to learn a bit about Nicky Hopkins, and all the iconic melodies he created (I won't spoil it for you) and Rock in general... plus, there's Mick, Keith, Dave Davies, Peter Frampton (who still looks 30 something), and many others. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Rich Q Nicky Hopkins was without a doubt the best keyboard player in the history of rock music, playing with just about all of the big name bands from the Stones, the Who, Jeff Beck and many, many others. Not only was he as talented as he was prolific, he made the artists around him better. This documentary not only showcases his unique style but his versatility as well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/25 Full Review Ken K As a Nicky Hopkins fan from way back, I thought I'd really enjoy this movie but it turned out to be a bit of a disappointment. There's hardly any footage (or audio for that matter) of Nicky actually playing, there are a few snippets of an interview with him for some vintage US show but mostly it's other musicians and associated people telling us how wonderful he was. So for Nicky Hopkins fans there's nothing new here and for people who don't know him, all they're going to get is accolades. Shame, really. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Lukas D Well-made documentary about one of the most influencial yet most unknown keyboard players of a generation. Would recommend!
