Everyone remembers their first concert. The lights, the sounds, the smells; they travel with us through time. But what happens on stage contributes to more than just the music we know and love. Stage Left, a docu-series in conjunction with the maker of The Last Blockbuster, invites people to consider the past, present, and future of live entertainment. From their nostalgic past, to their current fight for survival, local venues are being faced with two visions for the future: One in which they close their doors for good, and one where the value of saving these stages starts to become recognized. Full of familiar faces from bands like Foo Fighters, Fitz and the Tantrums, UK's #1 chart-topper Frank Turner, Pepper and more, mixed with the off-the-wall venue characters from these temples of art, Stage Left explores the often overlooked impact of live music and entertainment as told by the people who help create it.
