See Hear Podcast Episode 76 - Favourite Concert Films (with Allan Arkush)

For most music fans, there’s a mantra about their favourite band
(mine even named their live album after it) – they were better
live…..but is the visceral thrill of seeing a band perform on a
stage lost when watching their performance in a film? Or can the
film maker bring something new to the experience via the medium?
Welcome to episode 76 of See Hear Podcast. In all the time Tim,
Bernie and I have been podcasting, we’ve never done a show
dedicated to concert films. Individual films are spoken about in
forums or articles, but they seem rarely considered as a class of
film the way other genres are. We attempt to correct that, by
inviting back to the show film director and music enthusiast Allan
Arkush to talk about his favourites and what makes a concert film
work. Does a great performance by the artists necessarily make a
great film? If you’ve heard Allan speak before on the Trailers From
Hell website or are a fan of his films like Rock And Roll High
School, Get Crazy or The Temptations, or his episodes of Fame (the
TV show), then you do not want to miss this episode. We were
thrilled to have Allan spend time with us talking about a subject
close to all our hearts. As well as our discussion, host of the
brilliant Supporting Characters podcast, Bill Ackerman presents
some thoughts on his favourite concert film. Huge thanks to you,
Bill. You can download the show by searching for See Hear podcast
