Über diesen Podcast
Backstage Pass is a series of six episodes that tracks the
evolution in the early 70’s of an era when production and staging
exploded in the ‘rock and roll’ industry. Get your own Backstage
Pass and go on the road to some of the biggest and most iconic ever
musical events during that time. Hear how the industry grew
from the Moody Blues touring with two small trucks in the
UK carrying all their equipment accompanied by just a handful
of ‘roadies’ to Abba, the Rolling Stones and many bands and
artists having multiple articulated or semi trucks on the road. The
growth was seismic - Abba’s fleet of trucks had ‘Abba
bigger than Volvo’ emblazoned on the side - tours criss crossed
continents, massive crews and endless road boxes and crates of
gear and specialist equipment travelled by air as well as road and
shows would take days to set up and take down. With your Backstage
Pass you will hear from some of those that were there. Their
stories, told with warmth, affection and humour will tell you how
they made it happen. You will also hear how some of the crew(s),
went from being the archetypal long haired hippies dressed in blue
denim to carve out long careers for themselves to become
internationally recognised and acclaimed industry leaders in the
field of stage lighting and production. Whatever line they are now
in, all are agreed that working with the lighting company was the
‘best apprenticeship ever’. They are waiting to share their stories
so grab your Backstage Pass and join them. Backstage
Pass is a podcast mini-series produced by Chris Smith and Christian
Swain edited by Jerry Danielsen and is a joint production with
Pantheon Podcasts, the home for music lovers.
