A comprehensive and detailed history of Y&T from early high school garage days up to the present day. The movie is certainly a labor of love; and you can tell the filmmakers adore the band, letting past and present members alike tell their story. As the movie took so long to complete due to the various complications and procedures involved in making a film; many classic members of the group have died since its completion, so seeing their extensive interview clips here is bittersweet. It's especially impressive when you see the efforts the creators went to in order to secure rare archival footage and the volume of people covered here for interview spots. From Don Dokken to Sammy Hagar, it's an impressive who's who, to say the least.
The subject matter explored in the movie covers many interesting aspects of the band's rise as well. Their early genesis as a group in the Bay Area. Getting their earliest record deals. The addictions and bad habits of band members. The blessing and curse of the song "Summertime Girls." Replacing band members. Struggling to stay afloat in changing musical times. The movie runs for over two hours and is packed with information. And it's never boring, either. This is the movie fans have been waiting for.
