So many of the historic Boston Rock venues of the ‘60s and ‘70s are gone, and all that’s left are the memories. MIFF staff member and recent Colby grad Eshani Chakrabarti’s fond first feature, DAD ROCK, remembers the unbelievable rock and roll history of Boston and the almost forgotten sound of the city. Vets of the era, centering on longtime present Bostonians who promoted, roadied and otherwise were literally INTO the music and the scene, remember The Boston Tea Party, The Channel, and other clubs and venues where great music and an eager community combined in a magic moment in time, from the internationally famous (the Rolling Stones’ surprise sneak concert) to the purely Beantown-centric (WBCN and Boston airwaves). —Ken
