Transcript
00:00Pentegrams seem like a street black Sabbath, post-page, pre-sex pistol.
00:11Perfect for 1974.
00:13Very harrowing, bone-chilling music.
00:15They've really come so close to making it.
00:19And they blew it.
00:21Columbia Records are big breaks.
00:23Said we were the most difficult band to work with and walked out.
00:27From an artistic standpoint, bravo!
00:29On the other hand, everyone that's been with you has walked away over the years or fled in terror.
00:33I haven't talked to Bobby in over 20 years.
00:37Bobby Liebling is just like this caveman found frozen.
00:41Everybody say, move him out of your house.
00:43There's fake Newtons, aren't ya?
00:45He keeps giving me these rosy scenarios.
00:48What I want from Bobby just for him to be happy.
00:51They're afraid of one of them to die.
00:54It was the perfect time for Pentegram to be rediscovered.
00:57They have unlimited number of unreleased recordings from the 1970s.
01:01It's pain and it's empowerment purely from the heart.
01:05I was obsessed with this band.
01:07It literally changed my life.
01:08I really think that you guys can come back together and do a great record.
01:11I've been doing drugs 44 years.
01:13I've been addicted to heroin for 39.
01:15You know, I wanna do, I wanna lick him.
01:18There's certain personal things that are keeping him from going all the way.
01:21Help me. I'm in prison again.
01:23He's been close to death ever since I've known him.
01:25It's putting grey in my beard.
01:26What do you want me to do? Conquer the world overnight?
01:29Bobby, you know what? You got one more shot to really make another big mark.
01:33And that's what I really want to help.
01:35Yeah, don't look, lady. I won't be around.
01:39I ain't the kind for a second chance.
01:42Yeah, I could wander down the alley for a two-bit tramp.
01:46But I can't take a hookah through man.
01:50Bobby made that deal with the devil.
01:52He sold his soul.
01:53And he's fighting like hell to steal it back.
01:55I've gone beyond the deposit.
01:56I've spent my own money on this.
01:58I'll do whatever it takes to make these shows happen.
02:00You see the band take the stage.
02:01The guy next to me is biting his lip.
02:03But there's something missing. Where's Bobby?
02:05He can't back out.
02:06I'm sick of hearing people say it's too late.
02:08It's never too late.
02:11It's weird, isn't it?
02:12They're all my moms.
02:16I'm sick of everything.
