This documentary of the London rock scene is filled with iconic imagery. The Stones get the most screen time, but are the least interesting, stuck in their pop psychedelic phase of the early 70s. In fact, things really don't get that good until Cream shows up and blows everyone away with a live performance of Sunshine of Your Love. Well, I think it was live. The overdubbing is a nagging problem throughout the film, you are never quite sure if the performances are lip-synched or live. Ike & Tina Turner give an embarrassing performance laced with sexual innuendo, which is oddly edited straight into Pink Floyd with an obviously lip-synched performance of Careful With That Axe, Eugene. Other scenes include naked hippies at the Isle of Wight and Blind Faith surrounded by hoards of fans in a London park.
