About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a band-focused rock history with personality, context, and a clear legacy, similar in spirit to Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese; Not for you if you want lots of full performances or major new revelations.
Pros: lively band stories; strong sense of era; funny, personal moments | Cons: light on music focus; uneven depth for newcomers; some by-the-numbers sections
