04.11.06Alamo South Lamar next up was this one, which I've been wanting to see forever but have been too wrapped up in Oblivion to get out for. I'm a Dave Chappelle fan, a Michel Gondry fan, and a fan of most of the music acts appearing here so I figured it was a surefire hit. It was. It's actually 50/50 split between concert performance and documentary leading up to the event; both halves succeed in their goal. The music is good and the talking bits are interesting and entertaining. Some of my favorite parts are actually when Gondry compares footage from the concert with footage shot at rehearsal the day before, showing how certain gags and sequences come about. You get the vibe that everyone's good friends there and they're all there just to have a good time so it's a real happy movie. Very relaxing.
