Title: Too much talk, not enough rock
Review: There is a lot of great, classic concert material here. But sadly if you're a Petty fan, you won't get to watch more than brief snippets of it. Every single performance; from the first one in '06 to the great looking and sounding performances from Top of the Pops, Old Grey Whistle Test, Rockpalast, etc. IS CUT TO RIBBONS by whoever produced this. So you get maybe 30 seconds of music, then cut to an interview, then another 30 seconds, then another interview.Whoever put this documentary together doesn't think you want to watch an entire live Petty and the Heartbreakers song from start to finish, no matter how rare the material or great the song.Yeah, I admit there are three whole, uncut live songs on the second dvd. A whole dvd for three concert songs (not 3 concerts, three songs from concerts). Wow.Anyway, if you're just interested in talking heads and a bit of rock history, it's fine. If you want to see classic performances by a great band, look elsewhere.
