Founded in 1967 in San Francisco by Jann Wenner, the magazine became a cultural beacon that helped shape America and defined generations, always understanding that rock 'n' roll was more than simply music. The documentary features performances by an eclectic mix of artists, including The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, Janis Joplin and The Clash, and spotlights the magazine's impact by showcasing many groundbreaking stories of its writers.
