I have never seen this before, just listened to their music as if it were elevator muzak....well, perhaps i am the only one who was around then (SF filmore 1974) and did not see this film?

It is amazing. It looks as fresh as if it were made today. Great music, good photography and editing. A Martin Scorsese film no less. I have now discovered a group that broke up 30 odd years ago that was great and i missed it somehow.

I give this concert/documentary a 9 outta 10 cause it is just so well done, and Marty did it, I like most of what Marty has done.

 

I actually would give it an 8 out of 10, but that's with a kind of hindsight into:

a.) Scorcese's own work - his best was yet to come, IMHO

b.) While there was some great footage, there were parts where I didn't really feel like I was getting any real feel for the band as people, save maybe for Robertson; not enough attention paid to Richard.

Still recommended.
