About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a music-first, time-capsule ride that mixes real tour footage with a wink at storytelling, especially if you liked No Direction Home: Bob Dylan; Not for you if you want a straightforward, strictly factual documentary.
Pros: electrifying live performances; vivid tour atmosphere; fascinating mix of voices | Cons: fact-and-fiction blur; uneven pacing; distracting interview bits
