Grew up during this era. Huge Byrds fan. Good to see them recognized. No Doors? No Joni Mitchell? Did not enjoy the J Dylan covers nor his questionable interviewing skills. Many statements about how exciting the Vera was but movie did not capture it. So miss Tom Petty!

Love this music...loved this film! Would’ve given 4.5 stars if possible. As much as my fam (me, hubby, & teen dd) really enjoyed JDylan and the live concert/studio band, we were all really hoping for more of the original musIc/vocals/footage. Interviews with “The Greats” were fantastic! RIP Petty.

It’s the kind of music doc that makes you want to download about 50 songs — although you already should have most of them on your playlist.

If you don’t expect it to be something it isn’t, it’s hard to see how partisans of pop music could fail to enjoy Echo in the Canyon. For rock ’n’ rollers of all ages, it’s mandatory viewing.

If you care anything about the music of groups like The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, The Mamas and the Papas, The Beach Boys, or Crosby, Stills, Nash Young, the ramshackle, engagingly anecdotal Echo in the Canyon is required viewing.
