The Byrds - Under Review 3 hour documentary

[8mileshigh]

I found this 2 disk DVD whilst I was in Sydney and watched it last night. A very detailed look at the Byrds and their music. It would have been nice to have input from McGuinn and more from Crosby and Hillman, but never the less an enjoyable 3 hours +.

Here's what a review said.........

The Byrds Under Review is a documentary film which explores in detail the music, career and background of one of America's most influential bands. Inventors of folk-rock and country-rock, and with a sizeable investment in what became garage-rock, The Byrds could barely write a song without creating a new genre!

With the aid of many who were there at the time, as either part of the group or close at hand, this 2 DVD set is a celebration of one of Rock N' Roll's truly great bands.

It's heavy on the Gene Parsons/John York era with lots of interviews with them - which are quite informative and sometimes fascinating. Plenty of anecdotal information from York and some in depth "String Bender" history from Gene. I enjoyed it...
