O/T - Just out of curiosity, has anyone seen "Standing in the Shadows of Motown"? I was contemplating buying the 2 DVD set, based on reviews I've read (only $12 at a local store going out of business - although I think it's cheaper at Amazon. Still - instant gratification, you know).
It's a documentary of the "Funk Brothers" - basically the session musicians behind all things early Motown. Combines interviews with the bros themselves and various musicians, dramatic "re-enactments", and live concert footage of a reunion concert with various artists (Joan Osborne, Chaka Khan, Ben Harper, Bootsy Collins among others) covering Motown standards with the Funk Bros in the background.
Anyone care to comment on it?
