- It turns out that Jeff had never
actually performed the sleeping tapes live before.
So my crew and I managed to meet up with him
at a club where he was going to workshop some stuff,
you know, try out some performance pieces.
(rousing music) That's also where I
had the opportunity to first meet his guys.
(rousing music)
- [Jeff Bridges] Keefus Ciancia,
Musical dreamer.
Alan Kozlowski,
Dreamer of images.
K. See, seer of dreams.
Little Lil, dream child.
Master hostess.
Plume
and Wesley Boone,
mystery dreamer.
- [Host] Jeff?
Jeff?
(rousing music)
Jeff?
Hey guys.
You the replacement crew?
- Oh, we're the family documentarians, actually.
- That's work, how'd you get that?
- Oh, well we're family.
- He's your?
- He's my uncle. - He's your uncle?
He's your uncle? - Yeah.
- Wish he was my uncle.
Alright, cool.
So we are not...
This feels like it's not gonna happen, feels like
- [Man] It's happening, it's happening
- What's going on?
I mean what is this?
- We're documenting for him, so we're documenting you,
documenting him, so we're all documenting together.
Yeah.
- Are you fucking with me?
Seriously?
I'd almost rather be fired, to be honest.
We're all doing it together.
It's a small venue.
This is like 20 cameras, so.
- Check these out.
- What have you got here?
What is this?
These are nice. - Handmade.
- Are these for the um...
There's nothing here about sleeping here though.
- No.
- Have you made one for the bowl?
- No. - I'm just looking at these.
(laughs) Why am I looking at these?
What's going on?
- They're cool though, right? - What are you doing?
- It's the menu, man.
- Yeah.
- I'm documenting the menu.
(funky music)
(audience clapping and cheering)
(funky music)
- [Roy] Alright, thanks all for coming down tonight.
I know you came down to see my band, Three Leaf Clovers.
- [Audience Member] Yeah! - But, I'm turning the stage
over to a friend of mine tonight,
and he gave me this to read.
Jeff and his friend, Keefus Ciancia,
will be performing for your pleasure.
(swelling music)
You need to sleep, so you can dream,
so you can wake up
three times.
Oh I'm supposed to say it three times.
(audience laughs) That last part.
Three times.
You need to sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
(techno music)
You need to sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
(voice distorted) You need to sleep,
so you can dream, so you can wake up.
Sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
(audience cheers)
Sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
Sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
Sleep, so you can dream, so you can wake up.
- Hi!
Are you getting cozy?
Okay.
Alright.
(Jeff laughs)
I thought we would start with a traditional number.
Something I'm sure you're all familiar with.
♪ Row row row your boat gently down the stream ♪
♪ Merrily merrily merrily merrily ♪
♪ Life is but a dream. ♪
Now let's do it as a round.
You guys, you guys, and then you guys.
Here we go, I'll start.
(everyone begins singing) No, me first!
(audience laughs)
♪ Row row your boat ♪
♪ Gently down the stream ♪
♪ Merrily merrily merrily merrily ♪
♪ Life is but a dream ♪
- [Host] So how am I supposed to take this?
It appears that he told all of his guys
to shoot us whenever we were shooting them
I couldn't get a shot off.
He was messing with me.
I'm pretty sure he was messing with me.
(Jeff and audience continue singing "Row row row your boat")
(meditative music)
- Beautiful!
(audience claps)
You know, sometimes it's cool to you know,
when you're looking for that sleepy feeling,
to read a book, you know, read some stories.
But anyway, I thought we could read some of
my dear friend, Lou Beeches' stories.
Why don't you read us one, man.
- [Host] To me, it seemed very clear
that he was bullshitting all these people,
but nobody ever called him on it, you know?
It's because everybody loves Jeff.
He proclaims himself, the sleep guru,
bang, he's the sleep guru.
He could have told these people
that a better night's sleep comes from
when you light yourself on fire.
- I imagine that all of you fly
in your dreams.
Your dream flying positions, please.
(meditative music)
(Wind blowing)
- I keep expecting him at some point to go,
"I'm just fucking bullshitting you, man."
Like the dude to just say, offer me
a joint at some point, you know but.
No.
He claims he's absolutely 100% committed to sleep.
- I'm coming towards you, Todd.
(screams)
(distorted "Row row row your boat" plays)
What am I seeing?
Eyes open, or closed.
It's been lovely spending this time with you.
Whether you're sleeping or awake, sweet dreams.
Rise.
Rise.
(music swells)
