Has anyone heard of this documentary coming out?  I just got an email about it and wondered why I hadn't heard of it before. 

I added a collection of videos here.  I figured I'd add a couple of paragraphs to try and explain the video.

Awesome!  From the clip above it kinda looked like Dylan was standing around while his band played Free Bird but that's good enough for me.  Cool stuff.

Improved headline - "Bob Dylan's band obliges annoying fan in Berkeley by playing freebird breakdown"

sweet stuff Rob!

They put on one helluva show!  Get those vids up!

all the clips joined together comes out to 31 minutes.  I thought I was taking short clips.

Truckin super jam 

Li'l Andy is killing it 

Wowzy!  Off to a great start!

Flat Earth Society should be spectacular in the late night tent (music starts at 40 sec).

joe grass was a huge treat when he joined Barr Brothers on a tour that brought them to Gatineau a couple of years ago. His pedal steel work was mesmerizing. I couldn't stop watching him.

Which is why this should be a stickie.................instruments for where? 

stickied due to this rousing discussion.

I really struggled with subtitles, especially because I'm quite familiar with the regional accent.  The problem is when words get said that people won't understand, like "kwacha" (the local currency.  And then there is Albert, who's accent definitely requires subtitles.

I see the problem since a couple speakers are difficult to understand in real time. Most speakers are very easy to understand in the interviews.  Like what would the threshold be for embedding subtitles?  Is it reasonable to only subtitle some of the dialog some of the time?  I find that despite understanding, I am drawn to the subtitles even though they aren't necessary.  

Instead of a subtitle path due to terminology, perhaps a popup displaying a definition of 'kwacha' or even edit in a short sequence of the regional currency of course the latter might be difficult to inject.

Btw, great choice on the presenter/host.  You are perfect.

This should be a STICKY..........can you still do that Mike? 

lol. yeah, i thought that initially but it lives at the top on its own.  Stickies are mostly meant for a call to action.  It's easy to bump by watching and commenting.

I really liked the story discovery when Todd breaks a guitar string and they have to go get a new one.  Also during the ending titles, the footage of asking locals if they'd heard of the Beatles.  Paul McCartney should see this! Time for a concert in Zambia Macca.

Members of @thebarrbrothers and members of @patrickwatsonofficial doing some fine tuning on rehearsals for "A Long, Strange Trip", a Grateful Dead tribute show happening this Friday as part of the @festivalsurlecanal 

I'll be singing with them. This band is a serious force.

Oh. And the photo is blurry. The jam was so groovy that my phone just couldn't handle it.

Initially, I am only interested in seeing Lake Street Dive and Plants and Animals.   Last year was so stacked right from the first announcement.

This reminds me of that Happy Days episode where they had a dance marathon and fonzi almost lost.

I've still got the final 15 minutes to watch and still adore it.

Since you're craving suggestions:

1. An opportunity to smooth out the viewing experience might be to shorten the 5 second blackout during transitions.   Is there a reason for those in this phase?  They are slightly disruptive.  Maybe even remove them and use a basic transition from the closing bumper sequence into the next segment.  

2. White text for subtitles is hard to read in about half of the scenes where they appear.  Is it possible to add a darkened slightly opaque rectangular background layer around the text?

3. Are the subtitles necessary?  Since it's on YouTube, perhaps leave the subtitles out and make them an option via YouTube's subtitle functionality.

I'm really fascinated by the b-roll footage, establishing shots, etc.  Without those, this wouldn't feel the same way.  I don't even comprehend how you would plan out or think of something like "get out of the car and film me talking to the guy selling sim cards".  So awesome.

omg

well how about that?  reading does payoff.

This would probably be a great candidate for a live stream on YouTube, Twitch or Periscope.    

I was too tired to watch a whole anything last night.  I watched the first 11 and was pretty hooked right away, AND learning.   Went to resume in bed but my eyes failed.

It reminds me of watching Bourdain touring and discussing regional cuisine while featuring one particular chef.  However, Bourdain gets fucking wasted.  

There's a short snippet of Todd jamming with the group that I love.  The musicians are great.   I hope there is more of that.  I'll find out as I finish it. 

This is highly impressive.

awesome. love the intro sequence!  

Going.  Venue looks super swell.  Really, it's just an excuse to go to montreal and eat at Kazu
