Wow I agree this documentary was excellent. So well edited and I’m amazed how they managed to use actual sound bites from Michael and Ridgely as the narrators. That was pretty cool. The old footage was pretty cool to see. There was a lot of their early career that I didn’t know about until I watched this.
Andrew and Yorg accomplished so much in so little time. They seemed to have a really great friendship.

Finally got a chance to watch this yesterday.
While it avoids many of the issues the band encountered during their meteoric rise, it remains an absolutely nostalgic and breezy viewing.
