    Hopefully it gets resolved and goes back up. I started to watch it the other night, got tired and went to bed with plans to watch the rest later. My wife watched all of it and said it was really interesting.

    Likewise.

    I got about 2/3 of the way through it the other night before I had to move on to something else.

    I watched it, it was pretty good.  They focused on three major time periods, the 60s, the punk xerox flyer scene in the 80s and then moving into Kozik in the late 80's/early 90's that led to Emek and others.  Although it seems to have just been released, it appears to have been filmed around 2007 or so, looking at the production and not seeing a poster that was made after 2006 or so.  It was cool to hear more details about Bill Graham/The Fillmore.

    Is this it?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5ibzJym0rs

    Says it was released 12 years ago... which would explain why there were no posters after 2006!
