This documentary is an interesting, well paced film with a whole lot of background on the Seeds in their early days. The soundtrack is appropriate and the quality is very good.
I saw it at the Portland, OR showing in July of 2015. There was a Q&A afterward with Daryl Hooper, the original keyboard player, arranger and backup vocalist and Neil Norman, the director. They were relaxed, fun and informative.
The film is very well done, even working with a relatively limited amount of live footage of the band. Film was expensive in the mid 60s, not something for which everybody had the resources. Director Norman uses stills, period corrected related footage, and the available Seeds material to excellent result, and has a lot of fun with it.
If you want to know more about the mid 60s L.A. music scene, the birth of America's rock and punk music, and what ever happened to The Seeds, you can't go wrong with this great little film.
