Just finished it, just what I needed to chill after the football. Some amazing footage of Jerry at his prime, both on guitar and just chatting. And Pigpen appeared to be a model of sobriety at that time, which sadly didn’t last. Part of the sequence rehearsing “Candyman” was used in the Long Strange Trip series on Amazon Prime, which I might just watch again.

Once again, thanks for posting this SA, a rare and exquisite jewel of a film.

Truly, truly gutted by this terrible news, The Specials are just that, special to me. I remember hearing Gangsters for the first time and falling in love with their sound and quickly changed from being a Mod to a Rude Boy and Terry's unique vocal delivery was a massive part of that . That first album was groundbreaking and is still one of my all time favourites...
