I like devendra okay... not enough to watch a documentary about him though.

Some people want the moon on a stick.

I think you misunderstand why people are saying those things. Nobody was expecting this to be all about Joanna. All I'm doing is trying to let people who haven't seen it know what to expect in that regard. I think it's certainly worth watching for any Joanna fan, but there are going to be parts that will be dull to people who aren't interested in the other artists on the tour.

Vetiver is NOT Devendra's band. They're Andy Cabic's band.
It's also a film of Joanna, that's why we've been going on about it.
It's not a documentary "about" any of them. It's a tour film. So there are performances and backstage stuff - of everyone on the tour. Devendra is featured the most because he arranged the tour, and was the big star at the time. But Joanna gets the second most amount of screen time.
And yes, Vashti is in it.

Linda Perhacs is definitely in it. But I'm convinced Vashti is too, when they're at Amoeba records (I don't think she's in any scenes with Joanna, just Devendra). But I feel like I may have imagined watching the whole film at Birmingham Flatpack festival now.

I don't recall seeing Vashti Bunyan in it at all, but I wasn't paying super close attention to the Amoeba part.

Anyway, I don't think posting this is infringing on anyone's copyright but if you all want me to take it down just let me know, or mods can just delete my post.
My friend Zach made me this mixtape years ago and tagged this song on the end. This was recorded during the tour that Family Jams documents. Obviously it's Joanna + Friends (Devendra, Vetivier, brother wolf Zach himself, etc.) performing an impromptu "Dreams". Neat to hear her flub the lyrics in the second verse and then curse herself. This might be in the documentary already but I haven't seen it yet so w/e.
