With this movie, the very first question I asked — which I never asked for any album, any concert, anything I’ve ever done in my life — was, “Who is this movie for?” Baby boomers, I knew that was my sweet spot. And millennials are about to turn 40. So I was like, “OK, there’s reach there.” But when I got to Gen Z, I was grasping at straws. There was a moment where I just thought, “Drake is following me.
That’s another result of timing. March 16, 2020, was really an important day on the calendar for this movie. Everything was on the table. So no more Harry Belafonte, no more Chambers Brothers, no more Mavis Staples, at that point. We had totally wiped off the table. And I was almost at the place where I was like, “No more movie. Maybe we’ll wait for the 55th anniversary [of the Harlem Cultural Festival].
Even before this film, I’m the guy that was combing through YouTube to see any solo performance before 1979. And it’s almost so scarce, but I was like, “There’s got to be at least 100 concerts that have been properly documented.” And, yes, that [Yankee Stadium] footage is out there. That project is being discussed. I’ve been approached!
You know, everyone has that moment in life. The Roots were at that moment in 2008, where it’s like, “Wait, you want to give this all up for something unknown?” the first reality show. This is you watching someone have a meltdown. Clearly something isn’t right, and we’re willfully ignoring it because the music sounds so good.
