It all starts with the love of music, a van and a spirit of adventure. Some move on to a luxury tour bus, some a jet plane and some just end up down by the river, but some never leave that van and keep on rocking' down the road decade after decade.
I really enjoyed hearing all the artist talking about touring in a van and how important it was for them, and fun. It's like that crazy road trip you took with your friends, even the things that went wrong are still good memories, fun times. But this is like that trip never ends, I'm sure some band members didn't enjoy it as much as others but it really does bond a band together. This is not complete history of the touring van, but it sure does cover a large aspect of it and how it impacts the artist. It has a good mix of artist with some nice interviews and lots of old footage and photos, but it was a little all over the place. Overall it was a fun watch, they talked to veterans and even a new band, Radkey, I listened to their last album and it was good, so that was a nice bonus.
I would like to see more on the history of touring, not just the early van years but how the evolution from van to tour bus, to private jets, and how that changed the bigger bands.
Someone needs to do a road stories series, I'm sure there are a ton of crazy stories that could be told, and some that can't.
