John Carpenter Live: Behind the Scenes

2022 · 63 min

In February 2015, John Carpenter released his first non-soundtrack album, LOST THEMES. Its popularity called for a support tour and John was convinced to do something limited. Something small. Maybe two weeks long. Just to support the album. Rehearsals for a multimedia show started in January 2016. The band played a showcase in Los Angeles on May 20th. On May 25th, they left the U.S. and...13 countries, 35 cities, and 7 months later they came home.
