Too much attention on popularity
My main issue with this documentary is its complete focus on only the most commerically successful aspect of is has never been a commerical artist,never a top forty kinda of has largely been
avant garde,His most definitive album "heaven and hell" is bearly mentioned in this,5 albums with jon anderson only mentioned in passingVoices not mentioned at bio picts of musical artist focus so much on their success,the best sellers and they always miss the artistry what people really like about themThere is a lot of mystery involving his early solo work and its never explored the scenes of his solo playing is very good you can make a documentary and look past fame and success and see the artist, the musician ,the person it would be so much a good documentary passes, money passes the music,the man remainso the point is missed here
