Chuck a greedy a-hole according to the deluxe DVD set

The behind-the-scenes doc. about making the film showed that for every scene not related to the concert (visiting spots around St. Louis, his home, etc.) he demanded a fresh bag of 20-25,000 cash, or he wouldn't shoot the scene (his amazing excuse being that since the final movie was supposed to be ninety minutes, they were shooting more than that making it!), and constantly rewrote his contract. That plus the horrible experience he put the crew through when they were going to shoot in a prison and he abandoned them and the crew's women in a yard full of horny, violent prisoners makes you really not like the guy. great music, and I understand he had hard times in his life, but he just comes off as the most ruthless, ugly person you could ever come across.
