Now ironically named, Sly Lives. It really worth watching. There's a lot of historical footage and contemporary interviews.

When he sang the song, Family Affair, most of the very youngest in the audience sort of took over the stage. It was cool!

However, he was about an hour late, because he had done too many drugs.
