It’s a shame that so much historically valuable footage is only accessible through rare documentaries or occasional films, always locked behind private film archives and licensing companies. Even then, we’re usually granted just a brief glimpse of what’s actually available. I strongly encourage everyone to search for something like “(insert name of your favorite musical artist) live in (any date) performing (song you like).” I’m confident that footage exists, but it’s often owned by a private company and only made available to filmmakers or media professionals who may use only a small portion-sometimes just a few seconds-of what could be hours of footage. I understand film is an art form and creators deserve to be compensated for their work, but it’s frustrating that so much of this material remains largely inaccessible, preserved with the hope that it will be used in a future project. These moments, which could have such cultural value, are kept out of reach, when they could be shared with a wider audience. I guess a better way to put it is that these moments are carefully selected and curated by those who have the power to control what gets seen and what remains hidden. It’s not an issue if the person doing the curating shares your tastes or is able to choose artists with broad cultural relevance. But what about the lesser-known, non-mainstream artists who might have been popular enough to be filmed at the time, yet weren’t significant enough to merit a full documentary? They’re often left out, even though their performances may have captured something unique and valuable. Okay rant over 😅. Thank you for putting this together!
Awesome ... the real stuff.

The narrator is wrong. Theresa's was on the south side of Chicago, not the West side.
