Inevitable because not only is Robertson the band member most comfortable with what Joni Mitchell called “the star maker machinery behind the popular song,” but three of his bandmates (Rick Danko, Levon Helm and Richard Manuel) have died, and the fourth, Garth Hudson, is very much not comfortable in the public eye. He seems to be performing, over-acting, and disingenuous–I don’t buy it, I don’t believe him. The doc also includes rare archival footage and interviews with many of Robertson's pals, including Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Martin Scorsese, Taj Mahal, Peter Gabriel, David Geffen and Ronnie Hawkins.

Levon’s caution that music business deals like this can ruin a band, and his I'm looking forward to seeing what they're doing. Under their influence, Hawkins hired three other Canadian youths — Danko, Hudson and Manuel — and the group was soon playing in bars they were too young to patronize. But Robertson’s remembrance that it all came to an end after The Last Waltz tour in 1976 – documented by Martin Scorsese, who is also a producer on this film – doesn’t quite match the historical record, which notes that The Band got back together in 1983; just without Robertson.
