The film is being produced by director Ridley Scott's RSA Films. Ridley Scott is Jake Scott's father, with the two filmmakers working together on numerous projects over the years.

Jake Scott, whose other directing credits include videos for U2, The Rolling Stones, REM and Radiohead, said of the documentary: "It's a story driven entirely by the music, a rock and roll experience, told in the moment, like a visual stream of consciousness that is built around the extensive archive footage from the event. No on-camera interviews or unnecessary celebrity recollections."
