The dynamic film of the 1972 Los Angeles event attended by over 100,000 concertgoers and first billed as the 'black Woodstock, ' gets ya plenty. Its performances burn with vitality. Its forays into the neighborhood are a time capsule of pride and pain. And the Richard Pryor comedy riffs that provide the film's running commentary are a treasure all by themselves.
