In it are details on how Peter Tork was not amused that they took over the music of The Monkees. But he admitted that is was necessary.
This was apparently a common thing in the early days of A&M Records - Herb Alpert (and some studio musicians) created those chart-topping hits of the '60s, but the "Tijuana Brass" didn't exist outside of the studio until Alpert had to create it to play live shows.
I agree. Great documentary.
...well, maybe Glen Campbell being the exception.
"Over the years as a session player, Glen Campbell played on numerous recordings by the Beach Boys, Bobby Darin, Frank Sinatra, Ricky Nelson, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, the Monkees, Nancy Sinatra, Merle Haggard, Jan and Dean,[19] Bing Crosby, Phil Spector, Sammy Davis Jr., Doris Day, Bobby Vee, The Everly Brothers, Shelley Fabares, The Cascades, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Wayne Newton, The First Edition, The Kingston Trio, Roger Miller, Gene Clark, Lou Rawls, Claude King, Lorne Greene, Ronnie Dove and Elvis Presley.
Among the songs Glen played on during those sessions were…
Elvis Presley — “Viva Las Vegas”
Elvis Presley's — "What'd I Say"
Frank Sinatra — “Strangers in The Night”
The Monkees —”I'm a Believer”
The Monkees —"Mary, Mary"
The Beach Boys —“Fun, Fun, Fun”
I get Around — “The Beach Boys”
The Beach Boys —"Caroline, No"
Righteous Brothers – “Lost That Loving Feeling”
Ricky Nelson — “Hello Mary Lou”
Wayne Newton — “Danke Schoen”
Jan and Dean — “Surf City”
Roger Miller — "Dang Me"
Gloria Jones — “Tainted Love”

Speaking of well known session men, the Mussel Shoals documentary is pretty awesome. I think this is the one I watched on a plane flight a few years ago.
