How much...


...of the footage was simply lifted from 'C-cksucker Blues (1972)'?

I've heard that the film is mostly contemporary interviews with archival footage... I have to assume most of that archival footage came from Robert Frank, but I'm wondering if it's stuff we've seen before or stuff he didn't use in his film.

I don't know how much, it's been awhile since I have seen CSB, but it is credited at the end of SIE

I think there is more footage lifted from "Ladies And Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones" than from C&*ksucker Blues. Other than that concert footage, most of the film is either stock footage, footage from interviews, new footage, and mostly still photography. I would say a good 75% of the film is looking at various still photographs that Dominique Tarlé took during his time at Villa Nellcôte while listening to the band, producer, and various others (wives, children who were there) talk about the album in voiceover.
