THE BIRTH OF THE WORLD'S MOST INCREDIBLE CONCERT EVENT -
"What If?" For Rick Bowen, founder and creative director of Flashback--The Classic Rock Experience, those two little words were the start of a 2-year journey that took him from creative possibility to inspired opportunity.
With over 30 years experience in concert production and promotion, and an awareness of the growing resurgence in Classic Rock Music, Bowen noticed a gap in the eclectic fare of arena shows. What was missing? Rock music from the 60's and 70's.
Bowen began to ponder:
"What if"…Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin had performed together live on stage with an orchestra?
"What if"…Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Deep Purple and other Classic Rock giants had had the benefit of quadraphonic sound systems and 7 multi-media video screens?
"What if"…The best of the best Classic Rock Music was presented in a new way—a way that enhanced the original structure of the songs by adding richer sounds, intelligent lighting, video animations and special effects that created an environment in which audiences would not just hear the songs but experience them?
And "What if"…There was a partnering with rock guitarist and musical director Frank Gilcken, and an assembling of industry experts including promotions manager Lou Dickstein, formerly of Cirque du Soleil and Rainbow Ticketmasters; and what if lighting and visual effects specialists like Bryan Hartley and Lorenzo Cornacchia of Pyrotek of Las Vegas came on board in addition to world-renowned Rock Photographer Carl Dunn and internationally known artist Ed Unitsky; and what if 30 of today’s best Classic Rock performers were gathered from around the world, performers like vocalists Chuck Negron, Katrina Chester and Shaun Williamson, musicians like guitarists Phil Hilborne and Jamie Humphries, keyboardist Brian Chatton, saxophonist David Boruff, and concert master and violinist Terry Glenny to name a few; and what if all of that and more was packaged in an arena extravaganza that came with an affordable ticket price and a demographic appeal to Baby Boomers, Generation X’s and their kids?
