Looks great (but bit confused as Brian and the Boys were never really part of the Canyon scene...).
Here's an article about it:

Is that the first time we have seen a picture of the piano in the sandbox ?

Fair point, but would have the Canyon scene existed if it wasn't for Brian ?

Thanks AGD.....can't help but feel a bit disappointed in that, as never seen that bit of film with a 1966 looking Brian getting out of the car.

The Mrs. and I saw the movie last night, followed by a Q&A with Andrew Slater and Jakob Dylan.
Overall, IMHO, the movie is...meh. Wife wasn't thrilled with it.
There were some great interview bits with Crosby, Tom Petty, Michelle Phillips, and Stephen Stills. Jackson Browne's presence and contributions to the film are questionable at best. Brian's only in it briefly, sitting in on a recording session of Jakob Dylan's pickup band doing "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times." He was very Brian, but in a nice way, in that he lets his sense of humor show.
Probably the two most frequently mentioned things in the movie: The Byrds and Pet Sounds.
Interspersed through the movie are bits of the concert Jakob Dylan put on with various other folk - Fiona Apple, Norah Jones, Beck, and a few I'm sure I'm forgetting. I firmly believe that their purpose in the film was basically to perform the songs that Dylan wanted to include, but he couldn't afford to use more than a few seconds of the actual songs. I gotta tell ya...if he could have used the original songs, it would have made a hell of a fine Byrds playlist -- very good selections.
Major omissions: Carole King, Judy Collins...I think in the Q&A the explanation was that the way Slater saw it, the Canyon scene had three phases: 1) the first phase, launched by Brian and the arrival of The Byrds, 2) the "psychedelic" period, and 3) the time when all the bands of the first two periods started to break up and splinter off...and the focus was more that second phase. |
