New York, NY, May 20, 2004 A&E Network will embark on a musical journey that documents the creative process, work ethic, live performance and inner workings of a world called, "Aerosmith". In the two-hour special, AEROSMITH: YOU GOTTA MOVE, part of the ongoing A&E IN CONCERT series, premiering Friday, June 4, 9-11pm ET/PT, A&E will present a raw and in your face look at the band as they embark on their latest tour and create their newest album.
Our cameras have no holds bared access to a world that has seldom been witnessed, but by only a few, throughout the bands four-decade-old career. We will be in the recording studio, we will travel along the road that has been traveled so hard, we will get inside the rehearsals where the band works up new material and reinvents the old, we will hear their comments even when we shouldn't, and we will load-in with the crew and load out when the show moves on. The fans will make an appearance, along with the crew, management and team players that underpin the energy, will all play supporting roles.
AEROSMITH: YOU GOTTA MOVE will be a "Musical Documentary", recorded in the studio as well as delivered from the road where this band has spent most of their adulthood. Our performances will be a surprise selections, some familiar and some not, but all determined by the five band members who make this machine kick. There may also be a few surprises that could include sound check moments, impromptu jams and perhaps even some classic past performances never before seen. All of this textured and woven with a documentary story line that has yet to completely unfold.
A&E Executive Producer is Emilio Nunez. AEROSMITH: YOU GOTTA MOVE was Directed and Produced by music, film and video industry veteran Mark Haefeli. Haefeli's most recent critical win came from producing and directing the two-hour TV special, Paul McCartney Back In The US as well as developing the number one selling DVD of all time for Capitol Records of the same title. Paul McCartney In Red Square premiered September 18, 2003 on the A&E Network. The two-hour concert film won unanimous critical acclaim with the New York Times calling the program fascinating film making and story-telling. Perhaps the last great Beatles story ever told. Other Mark Haefeli Productions include projects with Faith Hill, The Rolling Stones, and Elton John.
