This documentary mini-series was well done, as least as far as I watched. I confess I stopped watching it during the second of three episodes, but not due to any quality issue. Like I said, it was fine. But I determined that the subject didn’t interest me as much as I thought it would. It didn’t help that the bands they hired for the festival were almost all of no interest to me. But I will say that if you like band their lineup, were present at the actual event, or if you are a student of musical history you should find it interesting. Certainly anyone who even considers yet another spinoff on the idea of a Woodstock should watch this program and be warned off. Indeed, perhaps Trainwreck can be utilized as a primer on how not to run a music festival.
