Just thought this might be of interest, does not know if it has been made a thread about it before, but i take the Liberty to make one now. I knoe they are beloved her and docus might get under Peoples radarrs, so here it is to enjoy.
This "Inside" series doesn't do a very good job. VDGG was much like "Inside Genesis: The Gabriel years." They spend a good amount of time on the beginning of the group, realize the clock is ticking and spend less time on each subsequent period. Here they spend nearly all of the first half on one song, "Darkness." When we get to Godbluff it hurried and then the show is over. Wait, what? So I am to believe that's where the story ends? Not going to get excited about any more rock docs with "Inside" in the title.
As for RPI, our fellow member Andrea would be the ideal person to make one, that would be great! nowadays with a bit of patience, collecting video material and stuff from several sources, and a video-maker software, anyone of us could make his own documentary!

As it has been pointed out, the distribution of the available time is crap, it's as they only had 'Darkness' material to talk about and they rush or neglect all their other stuff. I'm aware that it's not a band with a lot of footage to choose from. Of course it's always good to have it but it could have been a much better doc.

I just enjoyed that there existed a docu, as there are very few of those, and one could only wish if someone made a real effort to make a true and honest overview docu on VDGGs music, i find it was infromative, in how the band solved things instrumentaly, and how the band thought about each instrument, and how they worked inside the band.
