'Easy Rider' will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a screening and concert at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall in September
The score will be performed by Steppenwolf’s John Kay and the Byrd’s, who both had songs featured in the film, including “Born to Be Wild,” “Wasn’t Born to Follow,” and “Ballad of Easy Rider.” Other musicians will also appear with musical direction by T-Bone Burnett. The film, which has been newly remastered, turned 50 on July 14th.
The event will be produced by Live Nation, Dayglo Presents and Fonda himself, who co-wrote and produced the film. “What a ride it’s been!” the actor recently said at the Cannes Film Festival. “From a funky motel room in Toronto in ’67 to a roar on the shore at Cannes in May. A wild ride up the stairs at the Palais into the history books of cinema. Looking for America. Would we find it today? I think not. Did we really ‘blow it?’ You bet. 50 years later, are we blowing it now? You bet.
