sometimes watchable doesn't sound very promising

Hell even disowned it upon a DVD release in 2010, telling The Wall Street Journal: "It's just completely incoherent."

So why did he participate with the DVD release if he hated the film?

"It was going to come out anyway. It was good to have the opportunity to explain the conditions under which it was made. It does have a certain value as this eccentric artifact of this time and place. And it’s the best existing film footage of my band at a time when it was in top condition."
