Post Description

Rock legend and tour bus aficionado Rick Wakeman takes us on a time-travelling 
trip through the decades in this first-hand account of rockers on the road from 
the late 1950s to the 80s and beyond. 

It's an often bumpy and sometimes sleepless ride down the A roads and motorways 
of the UK during the golden age of rock 'n' roll touring - a secret history of 
transport cafes, transit vans, B&Bs, sleepless roadies and of loved ones left 
at home or, on one occasion, by the roadside. And it's also a secret history of 
audiences both good and bad, and the gigs themselves - from the early variety 
package to the head clubs, the stadiums and the pubs. 

This is life in the British fast lane as told by Rick and the bands themselves, 
a film about the very lifeblood of the rock 'n' roll wagon train. With members 
of Dr Feelgood, Suzi Quatro, the Shadows, the Pretty Things, Fairport 
Convention, Happy Mondays, Aswad, Girlschool, the Damned and many more.
