I watched it through during last weekend. Nearly 8 hours of material was a little bit too much for me. It would have worked much better trimmed down to let's say 3 hours.
What a great loss. I don't get his poetry but besides that his music is absolutely incredible. I didn't get his music at first but around 2002-2003 I finally got it and I since then I have hoarded nearly all of his existing albums.

Someone should reissue this one. I can't find it anywhere for a reasonable price. Please let me know if it's available somewhere in Europe and for less than 30-40 Euros.
