To me, it's the standard by which all other concert films should be judged by ... at least, any that purport to be something MORE than filming a concert, i.e. any actual 'artistic' concert movie.

That said, I could do w/o a few of the tracks, and the run-time could've been trimmed 20 mins or so pretty easy, but these are minor complaints. This was a staggering talented, absolutely seminal American band at the height of it's powers ...

Anyone who's not seen it ... has missed out, big time. I saw it in first-run, in the theaters ... and I sure wish that theater tech was like it is now ... back then ...

I should also add that, for me, every single one of these is the definitive version of the song ... they're ALL better than studio versions, which is really, really rare.
