JSngry Posted Friday at 06:55 PM Author Report Posted Friday at 06:55 PM People who weren't there for it probably don't realize the power of Sly at his peak and therefore the power of his fall. He remains a hero to me, fall and all. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted Friday at 10:39 PM Report Posted Friday at 10:39 PM Curious about this for sure. It’s supposed to be a very good documentary. Quote
romualdo Posted Saturday at 12:28 AM Report Posted Saturday at 12:28 AM hopefully it'll be on par with the recent doco film "The Summer of Soul (....or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)" - one of the best music docos I've seen Quote
clifford_thornton Posted Saturday at 06:49 PM Report Posted Saturday at 06:49 PM Summer of Soul is awesome! Quote

I just wish they would have had more complete music footage in it. I was always surprised they never came out with a deluxe DVD/Blu-ray set of it that included extra footage, featurettes, etc. I think that would have sold well. Quote
clifford_thornton Posted Saturday at 07:42 PM Report Posted Saturday at 07:42 PM Agree. Would have wished for complete Sonny and Linda footage with Herbie, because I understand it was part of the concert. Quote
mjzee Posted Saturday at 09:49 PM Report Posted Saturday at 09:49 PM Summer of Soul was OK, but there was way too much political footage (interviews, etc.). Less Nina Simone would have also been welcome. Quote

Actually, those sections were some of the most interesting moments to me. Watched the Sly doco last night - yep, it's up there with Summer of Soul - superb production (musical footage & interviews, old & contemporary). Miles D gets a mention (including footage). Quote
JSngry Posted Monday at 04:34 AM Author Report Posted Monday at 04:34 AM I'd like to know what that interview with Sly was where he was totally lucid. Red sweater, obviously after the fall. I'd like to see the entire thing. Quote

And to me, in fact I thought the premise of the film was to make a political point, it wasn't ever just a soul music concert film. Quote
