This was the era of packed stadiums, massive world tours, vinyl records, unforgettable guitar solos, outrageous stage clothes and musicians who seemed larger than life. 70s rock gave us some of the greatest albums and performances ever recorded, while 80s rock took the sound and spectacle to another level. From the blues-inspired roots of hard rock and heavy metal to progressive rock, glam rock, arena rock and everything in between, these years created a musical legacy that continues to influence artists today. 📷 How We Create These Videos Each video on Vintage Glimpses is created as an original documentary-style visual presentation.
