Just refreshing this thread after ?? years ... the documentary can be seen on youtube with English subtitles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggM_hOXU4Kk ... up there since 2019. Not sure if there are outstanding or pending copyright issues but you can watch it for now at least.
From what I've recently heard, I think you are right. Some people don't even feel safe being around him, like he might snap and pull a knife on you. I heard this from a credible source who played with him recently, lent him a guitar and never saw it again. With that said, he is my favorite GJ player and I would love to get him out here.
What @Phil said all those years ago, I think it's the primary reason for his derailment:
and probably too high of expectations of him at such a young age
So many famous musicians died as young adults because they couldn't physically handle the stress of constant touring and pressures put on them. And then you put that burden on the shoulders of Jimmy who wasn't even a teenager when he started his professional career. He's lucky to still be around. Fingers crossed he's on the right at this point of his life. That show that was posted recently had a really good energy, that's hopeful.

I can not post the file on Google videos as the material is copyrighted. Sorry.
Are you sure? Or is it just the concert?
I got confused by the:
Which is part of the longer documentary (first camera angle).
At the bottom of the page, there are links to buy the Dutch version of the DVD, not sure if you can find one with subtitles.
