San Francisco Sounds: A Place in Time, a new two-part docuseries, explores the explosive Bay Area music scene of the 1960s and ’70s that gave us such classic acts as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Sly and the Family Stone, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Steve Miller, Santana, and many more.
The first part of the documentary is set to premiere exclusively on MGM+ on August 20th, followed by the second episode on August 27th. The film was produced by the team behind the Emmy-nominated Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time, a similar project focused on Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon scene, including directors Alison Ellwood and Anoosh Tertzakian of Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions, the Kennedy/Marshall Company, Amblin Television, and Jeff Pollack.
“Just like with Laurel Canyon, I personally lived through this extraordinary musical period of time and visited the San Francisco scene on a regular basis, so I’m very excited to be working again with the same amazing team we assembled to create the Laurel Canyon doc series,” said executive producer Frank Marshall.
“We are thrilled to reveal a new perspective on this explosively creative and musical place in time through never-before-seen archival material and the personal stories of those who lived and breathed the San Francisco scene. People think they know what the ‘Summer of Love’ was all about, but the two-part film sheds both light and darkness on what really happened during the psychedelic renaissance,” co-directors Ellwood and Tertzakian said in a joint statement to Billboard.
