    It is, but it isn't. There's so much more. I realizeed why & how things turned out like they did. I DVR-ed and have watched it several times. Can't get enough.

    Of like to watch, I thought we were getting free epix, but not...bummer. Looks cool. I love that they use the pic of Bernie for all the promos.

    I just watched this and enjoyed it...the second half more than the first, I'm not really into The Doors, the Mamas & the Papas, or CSNY that much, and there were a couple of people/bands I hadn't heard of. I loved that there was Eagles footage I hadn't seen (not a lot, but some) and that it featured Glenn so much. I thought it captured the spirit of the time pretty well.

    Just FYI: epix channel is promoting a period of free access until July 12th!
    I accepted the free trial (through my Amazon prime account) in order to watch the Laurel Canyon doc and I enjoyed it, such as it was. It was too short to be comprehensive: they could have spent many more hours and covered more bands and more personalities, of course; but, for what it was, I enjoyed it. Would conditionally recommend, just don't expect too much. 😊
    I would, personally, love to see a whole series on this time (early rock history- well, Eagles, especially, but I'm prejudiced that way) and place (Laurel Canyon, Troubadour, etc.!)

    Just as an aside- on epix, while you're there and it's free, I would also recommend "Peanut Butter Falcon." Feel good movie. Very little violence, an adult can see it coming, but maybe caution for small children. 👍

    In the UK, this is now availabloe on the Sky Documentary channel.

    I enjoyed part one. The musical interludes were long enough to enjoy and I now have a better idea of what Laurel Canyon looks like. I certainly wouldn't like to take on those bends after an evening of drinking!

    I'm looking forward to part 2 because 1972 onwards is really more my time.

    Would love to see a history of the West Coast music scene during the 70's. There were so many places to play back then and a lot of people got their start in those now closed clubs.
    Most of the canyon roads in the LA and Beverly Hills area started out as dirt fire roads. During the mid to late 60's hippies moved into a lot of the area. You could go into the canyons and see all the school buses parked around. Sometimes it was like a little bus village. They didn't bother anybody as long as they didn't cause any fires nobody bothered them A lot of Hollywood people started buying places in the canyons to build their houses or mansion, trying to get away from the public. Soon the roads were paved and they ran the hippies out so they could sell the land. That's why the roads are so narrow and wind around so much
