Like most Band fans I had a grudge against Robbie (while still in awe of his obvious talents), but this is compelling for several reasons: 1- it tells the story of the Band, concentrating on the formative events
2- insight is provided by other stars;
3- rare video, photos, and recordings are presented;
4- we get additional insight into the Band;
5- it's only fair that Robbie should present his side of 'the story.'
This is a great way to introduce newcomers to the pioneering sound and uniqueness of the Band, and a must-see for Band fans.
It is a continuation of Scorcese's infatuation with Robbie, and is based on Robbie's book,Testimony, but presents enough of others for some balance.
