This is the 60’s & Super 70’s Radio
This Is The 60’s
This Is The 60’s is the brain child of Jim Duffy, the original Executive Producer. The show was conceived as a television special but, as Duffy continued to develop the idea, it was decided that it would make an excellent theater stage production. The most important step for Duffy was finding the musicians that could not only bring his vision to life but also embody the vibe of the time-period as it grows through the 5 segments. He really captured lightning in a bottle with the group that was pulled together and the troupe toured the show nationally 4 times, with the third including This Is The 70’s.
Fast forward 10 years from the original rehearsal meetings and the three primary musician/vocalist decided the show is still a show that is very close to their heart and and hoped to rebuild the production. The process of pulling all the elements together (wardrobe, equipment, personnel) has rekindled a show that needs to be seen by new audiences.
The performance will immerse you in the pop culture of the 1960's through music, fashion, film, dance, original graphics and a single to multiple screen presentation. The show is a vibe for the senses and is enjoyable for all ages. It tells the growth of music, and the country, from the Early Years (1960) through Woodstock Nation and the Summer of Love (1969).
Full of energy and moving, emotional moments throughout with plenty of humor. You will be transported back in time to the most diverse decade in pop music.
There are talking points guiding the audience through the show and videos leading each segment for the specific time period that follows.
Super 70’s Radio
Super 70’s Radio has been developed as a natural progression from This Is The 60’s, another show produced by Rear View Productions. The players and crew are the same. The musicians have worked together since 2011 and are very synced up, both musically and vocally.
Remembering the days when you waited in line to get concert tickets and hung out in the back of your brothers van until the show started. The local radio station played the best music and the DJ was almost as big a rock star as the bands.
Set up to present as a radio show, with the Disc Jockey being on the screen before, during, after several songs in the sets. If the stage is of the right size and situation, the same Disc Jockey will be set up live in a booth prop on the stage.
The harmonies are a focal point of the show and the band has paid attention to the details. Displayed with a terrific, accompanying video synced with the tunes. Lots of surprises throughout the show.
