I think you were suffering from wishful thinking.  I don't see him, or any recognizable musicians, in this trailer.  Also, no mention on IMDb.

Looks like it might be a fun show to check out, though.

I think he just posted the wrong trailer. Take a look at 1:06 in on this one. Definitely Jim.

The pilot was just ok, but I will keep watching to see if Jim James pops up.  The soundtrack was great though including an original acoustic version of Tangled up in Blue.

There's a mini-doc on roadies on Showtime called "Miles to Go Before I Sleep" with a  little bit of commentary from Jim. It's mainly features Pearl Jam and Hippo Campus crew.

I'm going to give this show a chance for sure.  Cameron Crowe's recent track record isn't stellar, but I'm hopeful for this show.  I think that documentary will be interesting too.

Agreed, all around.

Don't think I can watch another episode after that first one

I guess Im in the minority but I really liked this show and I was disappointed to see it was cancelled.  I have always loved Cameron Crowe and loved that Jim did some actual acting.  Lucius was awesome as well.

I have them all saved in my DVR, have yet to watch one episode.
I am debating watching now. I hate to fall in love with a show only to see it get cancelled...

I would give it a shot if you have them recorded. I liked it, a lot of good stories about older rock bands that are interesting. Ron White is really good in it and of coarse Jim James is in one episode so you have to watch that one.

Jim was actually in two episodes.  Crowe's Elizabethtown was another one everyone but me seemed to hate.  I loved that movie and soundtrack.

The Soundtrack with The First Time and They're All In Love are both on Spotify now.

I liked the movie, but the two leads are terrible in their over acting in this movie. I would've liked it a zillion times better if it were two other people doing the acting. I couldn't take Orlando Bloom serious and Dunst playing manic pixie gal was not in her strong suit.

At least with these two "failed" projects, we got some great MMJ and Ruckus tunes

Which brings me to another point, it seems like Jim and the boys always release awesome stuff for movies.

I could barely watch fifteen minutes.  I couldn't take it anymore so just fast forwarded to the Jim James and Eddie Vedder scenes.

It has been painful to watch.  I generally enjoy Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino, but none of the characters held my interest.  I did enjoy some of the "live" performances from Lucius, Jim, Lyndsey Buckingham, John Mellencamp, The Head and The Heart, and Reignwolf.  But Halsey was annoying and can't act.  I've yet to see the last 3 episodes.

As with so much of Cameron Crowe's work, it has a lot of potential but almost always falls short (see Elizabethtown, for example, or Almost Famous, which is my favorite of his films).

ElizabethTown failed I think cause of his choice in leads... Orlando Bloom and Kirstin Dunst were terrible choices

I know Roger Ebert recanted his original bad review as the film was reedited after the original showing at some film fest
