Brilliant documentary about a very talented chap who shows an unbelievably positive attitude despite tragic circumstances.

A must for all 80's rockers (and just about anyone else too!)

Saw it on PBS America the other night, probably on rotation

What an amazing talent. I grew up listening to Vinne Moore, Tony McAlpine, Greg Howe (and our course Malmsteen, Vai, and Satch), but somehow missed Becker. Got his solo album from the 80s a couple of months back and absolutely love it. So all that talent as a guitarist and it turns out he is an inspirational human being also. Top bloke!

If I had just 0.1% of his musical ability and positive outlook, I'd be 100 times better than I am today

Just ordered the DVD having watched the trailer. I'd forgotten he'd play on the David Lee Roth album - so I went and youtubed it and listened to his solo on 'it's showtime'. flipping hell, what a genius!
