Loved watching huge artist realize that they were allowed to rely on other artists to create. Steve Perry helping Huey find his harmony towards the end or Bob Dylan and Stevie Wonder with the ad libs really humanized them. Thought it was adorable that they were all collecting autographs on their sheet music like it was a high school year book.
