About Behind the Scenes Footage
Behind-the-scenes footage shows musicians as people — travelling, preparing, arguing, laughing, and living the life that produces the music. These clips capture the reality of being a working musician: the van rides, the green rooms, the pre-show rituals, and the moments between the moments that fans never normally see.
The 1970s in Music
The 1970s was the golden age of the album and the arena tour. Prog rock, punk, disco, funk, reggae, and singer-songwriters all flourished simultaneously. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, and The Ramones were pushing music in radically different directions. The decade also saw the rise of music television and concert filming — meaning more behind-the-scenes footage survives from the 70s than any previous decade. Studio sessions, rehearsal tapes, and tour documentaries from this era are some of the most sought-after footage in music history.
