Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fiona Apple's infamous 2000 Largo meltdown—where she berated the crowd—became legendary; the film includes performers discussing it without showing the actual footage.
Largo was where Judd Apatow discovered several comedians and where Elliott Smith performed some of his final shows, making it ground zero for a specific era of LA art-making.
