BACKGROUND TO SOUNDSTAGE
Long before music television filled the airwaves, the PBS series Soundstage sparked the nation. In an impressive run from 1974-1985, this innovative and prestigious program achieved widespread critical acclaim and featured the artists that defined the era, including such luminaries as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt, Al Green, the Doobie Brothers, Harry Chapin, Dionne Warwick, Kenny Loggins, and the Temptations.
Soundstage was reborn in 2001 thanks to Joe Thomas, director and founder of HD Ready. HD Ready specializes in combining high-definition television and cutting-edge surround sound. Thomas’ vision was to combine the one-hour musical performances of the original show with state-of-the-art high definition video equipment and innovative Dolby 5.1 audio.
Whether it is an American treasure like Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers or newer superstar like Dashboard Confessional, Soundstage provides every viewer with the best seat in the house. “What I envisioned was bringing the entire audience to the 10th row and building a stage commensurate with what you would see at an arena show instead of asking the artist to alter their performance for a smaller venue,” states Thomas. “We are so fortunate to have attracted such a diverse group of artists for Soundstage. I think more and more musicians are realizing that coming on our show gives them the rare opportunity to solely perform their best work in an intimate setting, for TV.”
The majority of the concerts are filmed before studio audiences at WTTW’s Grainger Studio in Chicago, equipped with 12 cameras, including a jib and Steadicam. Soundstage also occasionally hits the road, taping at venues like Red Rocks, Meyerson Symphony Center, Rialto Square Theatre Genessee Theater, Lincoln Center’s Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Rosemont Theatre, Tsongas Arena, Fleet Center, Germain Amphitheater and Madison Square Garden.
Since Soundstage has been reintroduced, performers have included the Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer, Joss Stone, Robert Plant, Wilco, Sonic Youth, the All-American Rejects, KT Tunstall, Train, Alison Krauss, Alanis Morissette, Daughtry, John Fogerty, and countless more of today’s premiere artists.
