In 1975, middle America came to a standstill as almost a million people descended on Fantasy Park - the 'greatest rock concert ever staged'. Yet 50 years on, few people have even heard of it.

Broadcast coast to coast across three days, Fantasy Park was a 48 hours-long music festival aired by nearly 200 radio stations. Acts included Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Carly Simon, Chicago, Cat Stevens and The Who, and many more. There was even a rumour that The Beatles might reform for the gig...

To celebrate Fantasy Park's half century, this behind the scenes documentary combines official archive material with bootleg tapes and newly unearthed backstage interviews with those that experienced this ultimate musical trip.
