kind of like saying Woodstock is a pretty straightforward recording of a festival. They're both summaries on an era.
Watch Once Were Brothers and see Scorcese explain how he planned out every shot ahead of time. And there are NO audience shots.
- mtalantikite 3y agoYeah, that's fair. I personally am not a fan of The Band and the only guest of theirs I listen to is Muddy Waters (and maybe Joni Mitchell), so I guess the historicity of it is lost to me. I do know people love the whole thing though -- a friend of mine MD'd a complete tribute show in SF years ago with a bunch of great musicians -- so maybe the whole thing hits different for fans of that sort of music.
