Nerd, I think the movie wasn't intending to show the whole concert. That would have ruined the movie in my opinion. Folk music was one element of the movie. Guest couldn't make the movie to appeal solely to folk music fans or it would have been a bomb.

As it exists, there were enough subtle references.   The Weaver's documentary "Wasn't That A Time" was obviously the inspiration for the Folksman "reunion" rehearsal at the picnic.    I even saw elements of "The Ballad of Rambling Jack" documentary when the Folksmen were driving around lost in NYC.   If you saw "Rambling Jack" you might remember the scene where he was trying to find his old home and driving around without a clue. The songs that we heard in film were PERFECT satires on the folk tunes of that era.   "Blood on the Coal" is every disaster ballad rolled into one. Check out the CD - it is a hoot!

I can't wait for the DVD. I am sure there will be more outakes and perhaps entire songs. If you check out A Mighty Wind's website you will find a number of outtakes.

It really was a warm and funny film. Not a sidesplitter like the others, but a film that will make you laugh if you have a sense of humor and don't take things too seriously.
