The Show's the Thing is the story of the promoters and agents who developed the rock concert touring business in the 60's and 70's. From a "wild west" culture to a corporate take-over in the 90's, this story presents a key part of the history of rock ‘n’ roll.

Screening followed by a discussion with Directors Molly Bernstein and Philip Dolin plus Philadelphia legendary promoter Larry Magid of Electric Factory Concerts moderated by Rich Russo.
