Title: Embarassing
Product review: I was introduced to Guided By Voices recently, and quickly became obsessed. I don't totally regret buying this film, because the first 30 minutes are pretty solid, and the sound mixing is at least acceptable. But it all goes downhill from there. Not only do Bob and the band become more and more wasted as the four hour concert goes on, but whoever's running the mixing board seems to go the same way. And it's horribly filmed. You're one of the most prolifically creative bands that ever lived, and you couldn't find a decent film crew in Chicago for your farewell show? It's like these guys hadn't held cameras before. Drinking is part of the GBV culture, and yes my jacket still reeks of stale beer from the Bob Pollard show i saw last month, but that's no excuse for this awful production. For die-hards only.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
