Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Nicks did not look inevitable before rock history turned their way. This documentary follows the documented years before fame: day jobs, failed singles, small rooms, rejected records and near-empty stages before the breakthrough. Freddie Mercury sold clothes at Kensington Market and handled baggage at Heathrow before Queen existed. David Bowie worked as an electrician's mate and watched Liza Jane go nowhere. Tina Turner grabbed a microphone during intermission before Ike Turner put her voice on record. Bruce Springsteen played local rooms in Freehold before Columbia called. Stevie Nicks waited tables and cleaned a producer's house while writing Landslide. This is rock history before the poster version.
