Such great and historic music came from that area at the time, and this movie captures much of that energy. Pleasant surprise to see it get a UHD release.
Honestly was starting to wonder if MVD were doing anymore of these 4K releases, it’s been over a year since the last one. Hopefully we won’t have such a lengthy gap again, they have still put out some good stuff in the meantime but would love to see more 4K releases from them.
