My favourite part of this movie is where Clapton's guitar strap falls off and Robbie Robertson jumps in with a solo without missing a beat (followed by a look over to Levon Helm with an expression that says "phew - I got away with that one". His solo blew away anything Clapton played on that song too.comfortstarr wrote:

Somewhat uneven concert film, but the high points are easily worth a watch.

My favorite part is Van Morrison in a purple jumpsuit doing karate kicks.

Re: music in the movies
A silly movie. I own it more as a Mike Nesmith fan than as a Sam & Dave or Junior Walker fan. The DVD came with a cd single of the Swanky Modes tune. Fun stuff. Fishbone is awesome as Ranchbone.lukievan wrote:Tapeheads, with John Cusack and Tim Robbins, is good.

Let It Be is fascinating. The bootlegs sound like poop, but riveting nonetheless.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is crappy, but it's historically terrific. You can witness Frampton and the Bee Gees destroy their own credibility on screen!

Love Mystery Train. A great film. The soundtrack recontextualizes those classic songs so you forget all you know about them. They serve the same purpose as the recurring train sound effects serve--they are part of the landscape and sonic world of the movie, as if Memphis is this organism that just sort of organically spews them out. Genius sound design/music supervision.

I also really enjoyed the new one 'Broken Flowers' with Bill Murray and much appreciate the way music was integrated into this one as well. The soundtrack is not quite as integral as it was with 'Mystery Train', but Jarmusch deserves MAJOR props for exposing the world to the ethio-jazz of Mulatu Astatke. I'm thinking he became as obsessed as myself (and many others) with these amazing sounds and figured out a way of getting it into his film. If you don't watch the movie, do yourself a favor and pick up the soundtrack or go get 'Ethiopiques Vol. 4' - prob. the best source for Mulatu's music. Some of my favorite music in the world...seriously. I've turned several friends on to this stuff who also agree and bring it up in conversation on a regular basis.Tatertot wrote: Mystery Train.

The other music in the film is also used quite nicely. I love the use of the Greenhornes/Holly Golightly tune to kick off the movie.
