This documentary is Hollywood's best kept secret. I attended two Atlanta screening this weekend and was absolutely blown away by the depth of this film. It's rare that everything lines up so perfectly and it does so in this film. Even Andrew's car as Ringo's interview prop was the perfect way to lend that "Beatles" feel to Ringo's shot and still maintain that cool 60's hue and vibe that the film was modeled on. This film shows how music is a giant tapestry that is woven together by so many different influences from so many different directions. Jakob Dylan not only did a superb job interviewing the guests in this film, but he completely outdid himself with the soundtrack. These sounds get right into your soul and never leave. The fact that these songs are still soul stirring 50 years on is true testament to how well written and arranged they are and are proof that they still echo loud and long in the canyon. I can speak for the people of Atlanta when I say thank you, Andrew and Jakob, for not only bringing this film to us, but for also joining the audience for the Q&A and allowing us to hear these wonderful songs live with the EITC band. We welcome you back with open arms as soon as you can get back here!
Kelly, if I had written a comment for this film and its music, I could not have said it any better than you did. Well said and AMEN!! P.S. I admit to developing a bit of a crush on Jakob from the film--wow, what a charismatic man!

Here in Brazil I Didnt know Jacob Dylan before. I had the grace to watch this film yesterday on Netflix. Simply fantastic the way he brought up the spirit of California of the 60's in these songs, performed perfectly, sometimes, improving the originals with state-of-art duets like this. Congratulations to all producers and performers, specially to Jacob
I tend to be a bit of a musical cynic, maybe even snob to a degree, as I grew up in these times and played this music in the day (and still do live) and tend to not accept remakes too seriously. BUT ---- this is the best film I've seen in three decades and I simply can't stop watching it, on my fifth viewing in three weeks. I love the collaboration and the treatment of the songs. It is an encouragement and a great artifact to a musical time we will never, ever experience again. I learned a good lesson here. Well done!
I love that Jakob did the story about Laurel Canyon (Topanga and Malibu surely have their own awesome stories) and very much appreciate this cut. It's really hard to supplant the Byrd's version of this as it has been one of my favorite songs for 50 years. But I appreciate their fine effort and the album as a whole.
This has become my favorite music documentary since I saw it last week. i've watched this several times and have now purchased the DVD. I have three 12 string guitars -- but now have to maybe eliminate two of them and get a Rickenbacker 12 to fulfill my bucket list. Jakob Dylan is a great host, and his performances are subtle genius. Great set of interviews, historical journeys and guest performers. It has the last interview with Tom Petty, who looks and sounds great - who would have known he would die within the same year?
What key do you play GOIN BACK in? I watched the performance jacob did in the movie and it looked like he plays it in D. So thats the key i learned it in, and play it all the time now. Love his version and his voice. Much better voice than his dads, lol sorry bob.
I have been searching for this version for days - it's on Spotify at work, and not much mention of it on the internet. My favorite version (and I've listened to them all in the past week trying to find this one!)
As of March 17, 2021, the movie Echo In The Canyon is playing on Netflix. I went to the movie theater to see it the first time, rented it from a Redbox the second time, and now have seen it a third time on Netflix. Great music in a great documentary.
I don’t think Echo in the Canyon got nearly enough recognition but it really was great. I hope that Jakob has thought about doing similar projects because as rockers age…the stories are lost as are some of the lesser know hits or hits that should have been.
This film absolutely mesmorized me! These youngsters did a superb job. ('Questions' being my fav') The sequence with Stills and Clapton playing was past intoxicating. Took me back to my youth to be sure but with a twist of today. Superb job you kids. btw... Castrinos is an absolute Babe. ;)
I love the arrangement and especially the playing on this arrangement (and Jakob's voice is good for this song; Beck--meh), but I've been listening to Carole King's recording, and while the arrangement and instrument work is not as strong, I think her phrasing and sincerity make her version the most compelling; it's a very poetic song--about about both lost youth, but the opportunities and joys that come with maturity. I like hers better than Dusty's, though I grant that is totally a matter of personal preference
@@dejordyball I just discovered Carol King’s, Dusty Springfield and even a Pretenders and Freddy Mercury versions of this song, Carol King renders it beautifully. I never realized how many artists have covered this song. Amazing track!
Omg I love this so much- this documentary is amazing, I never got to live in the days of that amazing music , but the documentary made me really feel like I could understand what it was like, I absolutely love music with all my heart soul and spirit, and it is a part of me really, and this is an amazing soundtrack and movie , thank u so much Jakob for takin the time to create all this
team traber said it best. Absoluletly loved this. I am the same age as Jakob so its so nice to know I'm not the only one to feel so moved by these creative genre. So good!!! Love Regina and Fiona!
This version is remarkably better than the Byrd's version. The vocals are brilliant here, the Byrds version is muddy, and I'm a Byrds proponent. So well done, saved from history's dustbin.... The movie was awesome btw.
@@GeorgeS1958 It' a nice version, a fine tribute, but better than the Byrds? Absolutely no way. Too many young people fixate on HD tech, confuse digital recording techniques and standards with musical quality, and consequently make false musical judgments. The Byrds ethereal yet soulful harmonies, and Jim Gordon's drumming alone put their version beyond compare. And McGuinn's 12 string muddy or not, is the mystical standard for all Rickenbacker players till this day. Were the muddy recordings of Muddy Waters thereby inferior to their hi fi imitators? I don't think so.
Kinda bothered me that in the movie, the on screen credit when they played this song was "The Byrds." It should have said Goffin-King, who wrote it for god's sake. The Byrds recorded one version. Also, one thing puzzles me in the live part in the movie: at one point there's a small measure of what sounds like a cello, but I cannot spot one on the stage or hear it at any other point.
The great American icons Carol King and Gerry Goffin I forgot how good Jakob Dylan was. Renewed fan. This recording blows all previous versions out of the water
This moment in time, from the mid-sixties to the mid-seventies, and those who lived in this vicinity, should really have a very good documentary made about them: their music, their lifestyle, and their influence. But this IS NOT that film. This is a really BAD documentary. So weak. So poor. So many musicians missed and not included or even mentioned in this film. So much music ignored. So much relevance unexplored. Too many to name, this area was so filled with wonderful musicians and great music. This documentary was like getting a 'whiff' of the fragrance of tea from a distance, but never drinking from the cup. Those who were there who were interviewed for this film were sincerely appearing. But the total work of this film was incredibly weak and non-thorough. I am in agreement with the sentiment that those who lived in this area during that time were as powerfully influential as possibly the artists who lived and worked during the Italian Renaissance. A very good documentary should be made about these musicians and artists who lived in this setting during that time - before too many more of them have died. I sincerely hope to see that film, when it's made, someday....
This is good, but lets face it, a million people could do the same or better vocals than Jakob if we had the same musicians behind us. We bow to the Dylan royalty here in the States.
Just goes to show how different people's tastes are. While watching Echo I kept thinking how perfect Jakob was, and how if anyone else attempted to cover these classics it just wouldn't have been the same. His vocals have a smooth, deep quality that just mesmerizes me.
Ummmm, no. I couldn't care less who his father is. This is a great song and he did a great job with it. While The Byrds' version is nostalgic, their recording is supper muddy.
Thank you for getting it right! Beautiful, honest & respectful rendition. ☮
Just found this documentary on Showtime, and loved every minute of it. So many of the songs took me back to a simpler time.

You describe my sentiments exactly
They’ve been replaying it again on Showtime lately here in 2024 😊😊😊
One of the best documentaries ever. Dylan and musical friends are awesome !
those crystal-clear, jangling notes from that rickenbacker - heaven...
Add a Gretsch too!
@ Beach Bum - Perfectly said there! Summed up my thoughts 100%. There is no better sound in the world than a sound of a Rickenbacker.
That beautiful chimey sound just grabs u
Beck ..... oh lordy such beautiful melting harmony 🥰
Memories, thank you all.
Jakob Dylan has takin these great songs and made them current. I can't stop listening to this soundtrack. Great music will always be great.
Thanks for goin’ back and taking us with you.
This might be the greatest musical recording I have heard in my 43 years on this planet. Jacob, I love it!!!

These are covers, not remakes Dave........agree with the rest ;)
@@josgvis Yes, thank you. Absolutely meant that and misspoke. Such a great film.
@@davepowell74 I think it gets better the second or third time you watch it. Just watched it for the third time last night.
its like a drug. a good high.
Best damned documentary/collaboration I’ve seen in 5 years!
You nailed that!
Ever for me. Omgawd.
I absolutely love this recording Jakob and Beck your version is spectacular. Also love the entire soundtrack.

All I can say is Thank You Jakob and crew for the story, the music and the memories.
I love it!
Love this song done here this way

Best documentary of any kind I've seen in a decade.
And every day can be a magic carpet ride A little bit of courage is all we lack So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back. Happy New Year.
love this old school sound, already learned to play most of these for next show.... groovy stuff
What key do you play GOIN BACK in? I watched the performance jacob did in the movie and it looked like he plays it in D. So thats the key i learned it in, and play it all the time now. Love his version and his voice. Much better voice than his dads, lol sorry bob.

Wow wow wow... Brilliant!!
Love that show
SOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!

Of all the songs this one nails the period. I played in several bands in the day and saw all of these people!
Love one!

Smokin' !
Timeless music...thank you for making this so special!
What an amazing track beautifully rendered
I love the arrangement and especially the playing on this arrangement (and Jakob's voice is good for this song; Beck--meh), but I've been listening to Carole King's recording, and while the arrangement and instrument work is not as strong, I think her phrasing and sincerity make her version the most compelling; it's a very poetic song--about about both lost youth, but the opportunities and joys that come with maturity. I like hers better than Dusty's, though I grant that is totally a matter of personal preference

Magic in the Canyon
Wonderful track, thanks 👍
Brilliant film. Just electric.
Underrated .
It just goes to show that people don’t know good music anymore if it bit them on the ass
Nice
Sounds like this was recorded by a bunch of Byrds fans, (like me!) xx
Let me be the first to comment......outstanding!!!!!! Love it! Very The Byrds-ish
ok music thanks
I never liked the 60s music until I watched this
Great! Who sings this?
Rickenbacker 12 strings rule!
Awesome
"Nice!!!!"♫
People forget, and I did too, that this is a Carole King song!
A great song written by Carole King and husband Gerry Goffin. Does the film mention that?
Yes, it mentions, but doesn't ruminate on the significance of the legend around Carol King.
At the end in credits, but while they are playing it, it says "The Byrds." Not right.
Goin’ Back is almost the identical arrangement by The Byrds. Different singers but the same exact arrangement.
This version is remarkably better than the Byrd's version. The vocals are brilliant here, the Byrds version is muddy, and I'm a Byrds proponent. So well done, saved from history's dustbin.... The movie was awesome btw.
Faster tempo. Clearer guitars.
Also love the piano version by Nils Lofgren.
Yup! That’s what the word “almost” means.

I remember Dusty.
Great tune!! Does anyone know who's the writer of this song?
The song was written by Carole King & Gerry Goffin and famously performed by The Byrds, Dusty Springfield, & others
My favourite of the álbum!!
Thanks for your time!!
Can't wait to watch this movie down here in Brazil...
The great American icons Carol King and Gerry Goffin
I forgot how good Jakob Dylan was. Renewed fan.
This recording blows all previous versions out of the water
The Byrds on the album "The Notorius Byrd Brothers"
Written By Carole King & Gerry Gaffin
👋☝👉
ace
The Notorious Byrd Bros. is a kick-ass country-folk album... most chicks hate it.
Of course not! Byrds fans love it
I'm going back.
Should have invited Charlie Sexton and Doyle Bramhall III. Austin by way of Beverly Drive.
...is that McGuinn on the Rickenbacker?...
I believe the guitarists are Fernando Perdomo and Geoff Pearlman.
!

NOT MY SOUND,A STRANGER .I HAVE NO IN TRESS. GO HOME MAMA
This is good, but lets face it, a million people could do the same or better vocals than Jakob if we had the same musicians behind us. We bow to the Dylan royalty here in the States.

WTF does 'better' mean? It's the SONG and how it expresses itself thru it's servants...
Yeah, we do, and for good reason. Got a problem with that?
Beg to differ. He has a nice voice and good phrasing. Also, he did it, not a million other people.
Ummmm, no. I couldn't care less who his father is. This is a great song and he did a great job with it. While The Byrds' version is nostalgic, their recording is supper muddy.
