Even as a curio,this exercise in tedium is hard to take. I saw an
excellent print, full length, and believe me, you might be better off
with truncated versions. In editing this the big question would be "What
would you leave in? It's just a jumble of disconnected would be scenes; dispite John
Simons musical connections, the score is terrible. Zappa is seen but not
heard; the Lovin Spoonful must be hiding in there really well. The most
interesting musical note is one number where we hear the Band very
distinctly, backing Tiny Tim! Again, they are not in the movie.
In the most offensive scene, the film makers got permission to film
THE CROWD at the last Beatles show at Candlestick Park. (Yet here we get
a flash of them leaving). Then the crowds reactions (tearful young
girls) where spliced in to footage of Tiny Tim camping it up. So as
these girls watched something beautiful and historic passing from the
world; there emotions were turned into jokes.
The rest is just plain dull and awful.
