I gave ed a wristband in 03 and he wore it at a few shows and it meant the world to me seeing it turining up in footage. Such a dumb thing. But also in th best nights we saw on that tour and I wasn’t alone. Why did he have to look like Russel Crowe though
I watched this again recently, and two things really struck me. First off, I can't imagine watching this without having a somewhat comprehensive understanding of the band's history. Some things are granted only a few seconds of airtime, and it jumps around so much. If you know the band's background, you're able to fill in the gaps, but I can't imagine coming to this without that background knowledge and being able to take much of anything comprehensible from it.
The other thing, and something that really knocks the movie down a few pegs in my opinion, is how utterly uninterested it seems with the music the band makes. Most music documentaries charting the life of a band seem to want to afford some time to the music the band makes, how it's changed, what spurred them to do things a certain way, and the challenges they found along the way. I recently realized how little footage exists of the band in the studio, and when watching this movie again, I was kind of stunned by how little time it afforded to the music the band creates. It makes me wonder what drew Crowe to doing it in the first place.
