The High School That Rocked!

26m 55s

The story of how six legendary bands in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame— the Doors, Cream, Sly & the Family Stone, the Rascals, the Animals, and the Yardbirds (with Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page)—all performed at Staples High School in Westport, CT from 1966-68, creating indelible memories for local students. The show captures a unique moment in time--one that's highly unlikely to ever happen again.
