I never saw that hunger strike in live at the garden. I knew about it but couldnt make it work.

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

Watching this again now. Always interesting.

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.

cameron crowe often misses the point. look at elizabethtown.
