Good, although short, summary. As a person who was at every show during the Mookie and early PJ days, and was fortunate enough to rub shoulders with the band on several occasions, the film was somewhat of a disappointment - Particularly the last two-thirds, which seemed to focus entirely on how big the band became. Where is the extended footage of the Moore show? Or Mural Amphitheater, Satyricon, Melody Ballroom, etc.... The Moore in particular was perhaps their best show ever, even being featured in RS as one of the best shows of the 90's, (period). In terms of wealth, they seem bigger than ever, but the bands general impact early-on should have been a much larger part of the film. But whatever, most of the audience that drove their initial rise wasn't much into anything after 10. At least that seems to be a common thread in conversations I have had about the band over the past 20 years.

Please wait...
