I'd seen a trailer for this a few months ago, but when I heard it was opening at the local film art-house,
I checked with Emma and we decided to go today after work. Neat documentary on 3 famous musicians,
their introductions to, and experiences with the electric guitar.
Jimmy Page
The Edge
Jack White
got to see early films of Page in school, in a skiffle band, and as a studio musician - before Yardbirds, .. back inna day.
Also had clips of Edge and some guy named Bono in an early glam band as kids - and at various times through his career.
Also a bunch of clips of Jack White, who I knew of, but not as well ...
And they got together and played and shared info - kind of an informal documentary, but if you like any of those performers, its a must-see.
