Indeed Rodders.
There's a short documentary as an extra on the disc I have, in which Robbie Robertson & Martin Scorsese discuss the difficulties encountered in making a film of a live gig.
The plans Scorsese had in advance for lighting & camera cues were amazing. Unfortunately live performance often doesn't conform to tight time schedules, so he found himself winging it a bit.
F'rinstance, the footage of Muddy Waters is almost entirely shot from one camera, as some of the cameramen were taking a break, and all but the one used were changing film. Scorsese thought he'd completely missed Muddy !!
