Review of Rock City

Rock City (1973)
7/10
A front-row seat for time-traveling to rock's formative years
9 April 2013
Raw footage offers a front-row view of rock 'n' roll's pioneering years of 1964-73. Sound and image quality is limited to the low-tech of the time, but this rough-edged result best conveys what it would've been like to be there live. Captures the essence of mostly British performers/performances in their formative years (a starkly ironic contrast to 21st-century anniversary tributes that now salute 40 to 50 years in the biz). As a rock lover who missed the hippie heyday by 10 years, it's a great way to travel back in time and see the early days of this genre on stage -- like watching old family 8mm films of kids taking their first steps and growing and changing through the years.
