I'm downloading it now and am going to watch later. weird that Joel isn't featured as their two best records—-In the West and Libertine feature him. The stuff later is good, but they were most interesting when he was in the band.

If you want to retain any respect for the guy, whatever you do, don't read his bio book.

Only if it was the line-up that recorded "The Problem with Me." Their best record by far.
