I too saw it for the Yardbirds scene (Jeff Beck AND Jimmy Page both were in the band at that time, how rad is that?!) I heard the Velvet Underground were offered the gig first, but it was too costly to fly them over.

Great post.

Wasn't a big fan of this, but my girlfriend loved it. She couldn't tell me why.
I did enjoy the last scene, it summed up the whole 'wtf' thoughts I had towards it.
Not that it was bad, just not my thing. It left me with a similar feeling that Gummo did actually.

I know Pat! Seriously - that final scene really had me going WTF!?! as if I hadn't been asking that with every scene before it, but the imaginary tennis and what not really made me go "WTF"
But then my mom was like "was it real?" "what was real and what wasn't?" "was anything ever really real?" It's such a visual movie and I started asking that about every scene and it all started coming together as if the question of anything being real was actually the plot - a reflection on life (and also better explaing the almost-mystery going on) - and that final scene then became so brilliant.
And then that even has you asking, 'well, am I reading too much into it? Is that explanation even real? Or is the film an "it what it is" - just a series of non-sensical scenes?'
For being as slow and having as little dialogue as it did and a strange storyline if it could even be called a storyline, the film seems to be so utterly profound. . . while frighteningly stylish at the same time :)

Okay, dissertation done hahahahahaha
