Gabba Flamenco Crossover
High Sierra Skullfuck
I avoided this film like the plague when it came out because it sounded like utter tish.
They showed it on UK TV last night and I didnt have to work today, so I gave it a go - and it absolutely blew me away. especially the JD/ACR concert sequences. I've read truckloads of book about this scene, listened to loads of bootlegs and seen all the live footage I can hoard, but i've never seen anything that gives a better sense of what it was actually like to be there watching these incredible bands at the height of thier powers.
I should add the caveat that i was a bit stoned, and i notice weed does give me greater powers to think myself into situations. I'm going to pick up the DVD and see if it has the same effect sober.
But, f$%£ing hell, that is genuinely one of the best youth culture films I've ever seen! And doubly so because I went into the experience on a massive downer expecting it to be toss.
What did you all think of it - tell me am i going soft in my old age?
