About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an immersive, interview-and-performance-heavy look at a pivotal music moment and don’t mind a long runtime; Not for you if you want a tight, purely concert-focused watch like The Last Waltz.
Pros: rare archival performances; candid interviews; vivid 60s atmosphere | Cons: very long runtime; disjointed structure; lots of filler clips
