Excellent classic rock documentary.......2005-06-17

I really enjoyed this movie. It's the story of Henry Diltz, and Gary Burden the designers of some very famous album covers by Crosby Stills, and Nash, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, Jackson Browne, The Doors etc. These guys are a couple of old happy hippies.
This movie is a loose documentary with some very funny stories. They also go and talk to the Eagles and others with whom they made their famous album covers for.
Glenn Frey of The Eagles is looking over the pictures shot for their first album cover. Apparently everyone, including Diltz and Burden, were high on peyote for a long day and night in the desert. My favorite line in the movie is when Glenn Frey says "These pictures aren't history, they're EVIDENCE!"
They also tell the story of how Diltz crash landed with Jimmy Webb in a glider and almost died. The also include a lot of old 8mm film footage taken while they were actually filming the album covers so you really feel like you are there.
These guys really changed the art of the album cover which is all but gone today because we have these miniature picture books in CD's. I found myself wanting to be there when they were making these covers. I'd love to hang with these guys for an afternoon.
All in all a great movie worth seeing for any old hippie.

An excellent documentary!!!.......2002-11-07

I can not recommend this DVD enough! I have had so much fun watching it over and over again. It is full of well told stories and memories about what went into the photographs and the design of some of the best album covers of all time. Look carefully at the cover of this DVD and you will see what I mean. But it is not a typical documentary. It moves beautifully, weaving between the set-up of the concepts and where the photos were taken, with commentary by Henry Diltz (the photographer) and Gary Burden (the graphic designer) and band members. The photographs are stunning. Henry took tons of photos with the artists in natural situations, at their homes and just having fun. Also, the editing of the DVD is great, allowing you to enjoy so much of how everything came about. Plus Henry also shot alot of super 8 movies of parties and gatherings. And, there is a photo gallery that is incredible.
The commentary by Gary and Henry describes everything in a casual yet exciting way that capture the moments perfectly.
This is the best rock related documentary I have ever seen. You will not regret this purchase.

Great stories about the albums and their covers!.......2002-07-12

This DVD is an excellent blend of interviews, stills, and old 8mm movie footage of the musicians and artists that created these classic album covers. There are some really great stories here. I love that these guys return to the "scene of the crime" so you can see what those landmarks look like now. Seeing the artists themselves discussing the album cover art is great too.
