I don't know why this film wasn't a hit. As a major concert goer of the 70s and 80s, I could relate to the music. I can't find any flaws in this film, as everything rang true, for me. I was a subscriber to Trouser Press, Rolling Stone and Creem music magazines, back then. The acting is great, and we get great insight to the groupies...oops... I meant 'band-aids' and how they were treated. Peter Frampton did a great job as a consultant. BTW his daughter is the girl in Bridesmaids, who tries to buy a necklace and is told off, by Wiig's character.
