Really, really good. Even if you are not a fan of the music, you will become one after watching it. Vedder makes an apperance also.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

  • A friend gave it to me for my birthday last year. It is great....I watched the entire documentary straight through (little over 4 hours isn't it?) and never got bored. I think it would turn a so-so fan into a big fan, really well done
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    It's a great docu.... I'm really irritated that there is a new, longer release of it.

    Like AG said and I said before it doesn't seem that long once you start watching. I could not stop even though I had other shit I needed to be doing that day

    The Band

    It was their last concert directed by Martin Scorsese... and features people like Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell... this is my absolute favourite track:

  • Don't know that one. I gotta look it up. Who is it about?
    It's about The Band and their final concert. It has documentary footage in between performances, which include appearances by Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Neil Diamond, Clapton, Neil Young and Bob Dylan, as well as Ronnie Hawkins who they started out with.
    It is the best concert/documentary ever....hands down. Runnin' Down a Dream is up there though

    It came out last year through BB as a 4 disc set. The one just released was a 6 disc set (so I've heard).

    I liked it too.

    I watched this last week. I especially liked the first disc with the early European TV appearances and how they began.

    They got in a car and drove out to LA and started knocking on doors!! :)
