i wish this was available in a format that would enable me to watch it, having bought the soundtrack six months ago.
 Behind The Scenes With Fugazi August 6, 1999
20 out of 20 found this review helpful
Well, I know I've been curious. I've wanted to look behind the Fugazi curtain to hear and see what goes on when the band writes, tours and records. Fugazi's new Instrument video and soundtrack CD provide an all-access pass to the inner workings of one of today's premier bands.I ordered both from Dischord and watched the video (a few times, I'm not ashamed to admit) before listening to the soundtrack CD, and I think that's the way to do it. The documentary, shot nonstop by Jem Cohen on tours, in the studio and at rehearsals, shows the members of Fugazi doing what they do best: making music and going to all of the places it takes them. There are several laugh out loud parts -- a well-meaning fan who incorrectly recalls Ian's days in Black Flag, while mispronouncing his name, Guy plotting the death of a Hollywood legend, Joe's futile attempt to tell everyone about his Iggy Pop dream, Brendan rigging a motel showerhead with Dial soap, a slick MuchMusic correspondent who enthusiastically mangles their lyrics...It's a feel-good flicka that leaves me wishing that Guy had a dance studio I could sign up for. The Instrument soundtrack includes demos of songs that haven't evolved into regular album tracks and raw working 'drafts' of now-familiar songs, some of which are included in the documentary's music bed. A dream come true for any Fugazi fan.
For best results, view repeatedly July 19, 1999

On first viewing I was torn between fascination and frustration with this video. Horrendous editing of excellent songs (e.g. cutting the last 20 seconds off "great cop" and giving us only the first and last notes of "smallpox")seemed designed to disappoint their fans, and mar what is otherwise an entertaining and thoughtful look at what is probably the most interesting American rock band. But as is typical of Fugazi recordings, a second viewing expanded my original perceptions and I thought maybe the director was right to cut the hits and focus on the instrumentals. The third time through I realized this video is priceless. Although I still want the last 20 of great cop.
This video is amazing July 9, 1999

Moving and inspiring, in everything from the film style to the music to the attitudes of the band. My personal favorites: Guy describing Ian's guitar doubling when they're recording Red Medicine, the 8th grade girl interviewing Guy and Ian (with mastery and poise), and any of the crowd confrontation scenes between Ian and out-of-hand crowdmembers (especially, "...ice-cream eating motherfu**er, that's what you are...").Makes you wish everybody would be like these guys. In a non-cloning sense, of course.
