Bob Dylan - And The Band: Down In The Flood



Lovely way to waste some time
This documentary covers a lot of ground (important ground) but not with much depth. Of course, seeing those guys in their heyday and hearing the great music sets off a lot of endorphins in my brain, but it is only a momentary high. Without the cooperation of Dylan, or Robbie Robertson, or Levon Helm, the director was left only with Garth Hudson- a brilliant musician who mumbles his way through interviews. On the plus side, getting Robert Christgau to comment was a coup.

I did love it...
Just watched this Rock Doc on Dylan and The Band. I enjoyed every second of it. It gave a great background on the formation of The Band and how they intertwined with Dylan through the years. Yes, there were no interviews of Dylan, Levon or Robbie, but it did not take away from an enjoyable time and education.

Great Doc!
Great film! It gives all the details that you didn't know about one of the great stories of rock n roll
