There is something that is a little un-easy about watching many of the Classic Albums series of making-of album DVDs (others I've seen are from the like of Grateful Dead to Judas Priest, but there are many). It goes along with other music documentaries as well (usually made for video), when they use some archive footage to show clips of the band or artist playing the song, and it's shown very briefly and not all the way through. Especially on a documentary for an album as groundbreaking as Electric Ladyland. It's on one hand engrossing to see the different parts of the songs analyzed and talked about in detail (you even see the engineer taking apart the songs on the tracks in the studio). But then when they cut to a live performance, it's barely for twenty seconds, give or take. It's understandable that the story of the album- and the band at the time- is told on more detail, yet hearing only pieces of the songs, usually in the background behind the interviews, isn't enough. For completely historical reasons it is a must see; you rarely get to see so many people involved talking about the process of it, the style behind it, the circumstances, etc. And for the story like with Electric Ladyland, the Experience's third and last complete studio album, I couldn't turn it off. But there might be things involving the handing of presenting the material to someone who's never heard the album before that might be off-putting.
