Saw this last night. Agree with DM - too much Jakob Dylan and friends performing, not enough interviews with people who were there. (And he picked one of the Byrds' weakest songs - "It Won't be Wrong.") And it seemed like he didn't know enough about it when he spoke to people; he didn't lead them to discuss anything. Actually they should have ditched Dylan and had Tom Petty talk with those guys and perform instead. I also would have liked a little archival footage of Zappa; he must have said something about that scene at some point. And they should have talked to Joni Mitchell - she wrote "Ladies of the Canyon" for crying out loud! - or Carole King; I think the only woman was Michelle Phillips.
The most interesting trivia to me was Roger McGuinn showing how his guitar part on "Bells of Rhymney" was the basis of George Harrison's "If I Needed Someone." Also (but not mentioned) Nash's Buffalo Springfield song "Questions" was re-used as the second half of CSNY's "Carry On."
