Or maybe "Jakob Sees the 60's and Makes it His Own". I didn't know who Jakob Dylan was until I saw this movie, and I even saw the Wallflowers as an opening act years ago. The best part of this movie is the maybe 40% of the time when Jakob (of course) interviews many of the key people in the late 60's LA rock scene. It works even when the camera needlessly yet constantly pans to Jakob to catch his reaction (usually stoic) to the star's story. The interviews are generally short and don't really follow a theme except for how cool the Laurel Canyon was for rock groups in the 60s, and how the bands profited from their collective community. They also tell various and sundry anecdotes of their life at the time. Generously interspersed with the interviews is the practice for and eventual performance of an Orpheum Theater 60's tribute featuring you know who and his assorted rock buddies. Without being rude, the tribute falls well short of the original, with the exception of Jade Castrinos' contributions. So if your not annoyed by Jakob's intrusion into the Laurel Canyon scene you're good to go. Otherwise it might be a little tough to take.
