About Rehearsal Footage

Rehearsal footage captures music in its rawest form — before the performance is polished, before the audience arrives, before anyone is watching. These clips often reveal how arrangements evolved, how musicians communicated, and how the versions we know were shaped through trial and error. Some of the most fascinating footage in the archive is of bands working through songs that would become classics.
