Flint Rock Episode 1: "Peter C presents AC/DC & The Who"

Author, DJ, concert promoter and legendary rock aficionado "Peter C" Cavanaugh talks about the time he attended a concert in 1967 Flint, Michigan where The Who opened for Herman's Hermits at Atwood Stadium. Cavanaugh's WTAC AM600 was the first radio station in America to play The Who (the song was "I Can't Explain"). Later that evening Keith Moon would drive a Cadillac into the Holiday Inn pool, thus cementing his legendary destructive nature.

Ten years later, Cavanaugh was again breaking new bands to America and debuted an Australian act called AC/DC. They record did very well in Flint, and he put on a concert where the MC5 opened for AC/DC in 1976, again in Flint, Michigan. AC/DC's first American concert. Cavanaugh's book Local DJ: A Rock & Roll History is essential reading.

Producers: Shawn Chittle, Leanne Barkus. Peter Cavanaugh was interviewed by Doug Pullen.

American Town (2005) Documentary Trailer

In 2004 I bought a DVX-100 24p video camera, and with no experience, set out to film a follow-up documentary about the people and places featured in Roger & Me. It had been almost 20 years since that film had come out, and I wanted to show how the people were doing, how Flint was coping, and what the future had in store.

The other angle was Flint Firsts which revealed a number of things Flint did first that few people knew. From the first city to have an open housing ordinance, one of the very first to have a black mayor, on over to things like the first town to play AC/DC and The Who - Flint was breaking national acts to America. That's usually what LA and NY do.

The one thing I learned is that you can't make a documentary part-time. You have to dedicate several years of your life to it. I shot quite a bit of stuff, but was unwilling to put everything down to really do it justice. I have about 50 hours of footage and I cut a bit of that footage into this trailer. Perhaps someday I will try it again.

Sorry for the narration - I needed a placeholder for it and did it myself - awful!
