the Netflix documentary: What the Hell Happened to Blood, Sweat & Tears? is definitely worth watching and less than 2 hours long.

Very insightful how the band was conned and set up by the US Govt (Nixon administration) to tour the Eastern bloc countries of Romania, Yugoslavia, & Poland during the Cold War - 1970. They were never the same upon returning back to the States. 11 concerts over 26 days. The government sent 5 film crews to accompany BS&T and film everything. Upon returning home, the film footage mysteriously disappeared and was never given to the band as promised. During Covid (2020), 1 film reel miraculously appeared which was the basis of this documentary.

Ditto. My dad, may God rest his soul, was a huge fan, so I grew up listening to them…
