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 1980s in Music
The 1980s brought MTV, the synthesiser revolution, and the globalisation of pop music. Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, U2, and Run-DMC dominated the mainstream, while underground scenes — post-punk, hardcore, hip-hop, and indie — were building the foundation for the next decade. The explosion of home video meant more behind-the-scenes footage was captured than ever before. Tour documentaries, making-of specials, and backstage footage from the 80s reveal an industry in rapid transformation.
