Netflix streams it instantly to your computer if you have any kind of account with them i think, of course you can rent it too.


Man, best documentary I've seen this year by far. The part where Tom revisits his master of Layla on the mixing board is like recreating magic all over again, I got chills. Tom definitely had an amazing life, and I'm glad it was captured in some small way.

Jahn, I saw it last year with my Sweetie, and I concur that it rocks. It's simply astonishing to see Dowd go from mixing Ornette, to hot Atlantic soul, to Clapton's "Lela." And he wanted to write doctoral research on sonar for a living!
