I’ve been lurking here for years and don’t recall this ever being discussed. Found it through a Reddit thread.

Thanks for the link. Never heard of this and it's kind of a hot mess as a 'film,' documentary, whatever, but some remarkable nuggets in there. I never read Bill's book so didn't know that particular angle with regard to Hart leaving the band in early '71. But always did know there had to be more to the story.
And was always puzzled by the week or so between Atlanta and the Tampa shews to close out 1973. Cancelled gigs due to low ticket sales? Geee.
The difference between '72 and '73 (so clearly evident in the music) is how the drug of choice changed with increased availability. I sure do wish the late '72 sound could have lasted a tad longer. So glorious.

By 72 all the original legal stuff was gone and almost the new stuff was made by criminals with no QC. Except for a few fungus based substance the replacements have been sub-par.
Sorry kid, you may be able to ride 200 miles an hour suspended by balloons but you can't get the proper drops.

Freakin cool
Ummm can I count that as the rest of my 1973 review?
But seriously, there was some good footage.
And seeing some of those old venues!
My favorite shows from 73 ended up being the Boston Music Hall and specifically when they got Here Comes Sunshine and the WRS together. The Denver shows were sweet for the fluidity between tunes and of course there was RFK.
I was a little bit startled by some of the negative reviews
But it seems even back then folks either got it or they didn’t NEVER SEE THOSE PEOPLE ANYWAY!!!
Thanks for posting.☃️

I'm partial to the November Pauley Pavilion one cause I was in the first deck.

I watched a lot of bugs bunny in 1973
