Movie Review: Was I hoping for more?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought it last night. It's okay but seems a little self-promoting. They show way too many obviously staged shots of Tom as lord and master in the studio making genius arrangement decisions on the fly and glorious chord ideas on demand. Seemed a bit much after a while. Got quite embarrassing to me. Think about when he was mixing Layla. Was there any need for him to count the vocal in? Was there any need for him to act like he was directing the musicians again?
As someone who is unfamiliar with much of Tom's work it didn't quite support the glowing statements all these people were making. Why was he the greatest this and why was he the best at that?
What was going on when he was playing with the tracks for Layla? Those guitars were sooooooo out of tune yet he called them beautiful(!). Sure it's a classic tune but let's call things what they are... and that's horribly, drunkenly out of tune. It gave me the impression they were giving everything this amount of freedom, calling mediocre things brilliant simply because of their age (Tom) or because of their classic standing (Layla).
Was I hoping for more? I guess I was. Still, I enjoyed it simply for the insights into some of these recordings.
Sorry for the harsh opinion.
