About Tour Footage
Tour footage captures the rhythm of life on the road — the shows, the travel, the downtime, the rituals, and the relationships that form when musicians spend months together in close quarters. These clips document a way of life that has changed dramatically across the decades.
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.
