As an avid fan of rock docs, this was a film that resonated in its production value, its honest portrayal of Mr. Crosby and his contribution to an era of music that continues to resonate today. Seeing it on a big screen made a deep impact, not only with the concert footage but in walking through Mr. Crosby's life with him and those who he worked with and loved.
