The final day of the 2025 fundraiser has come but the top tier programming doesn’t end. Start your day with Sparkle Motion and Conscious Pilot as they journey through 1975 fifty years later.
1975 was a year of seismic shifts and cultural explosions. From the end of the Vietnam War and the Watergate fallout to two assassination attempts on President Gerald Ford (the only unelected president in history). It witnessed the horror of Weather Underground bombings, the FBI gunfight at Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, Patty Hearst’s reappearance, and the mysterious disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. It was also the birth of Microsoft and Saturday Night Live, the summer blockbuster sensation Jaws, and quirky trends like mood rings and pet rocks.
Join Sparkle Motion and Conscious Pilot revisit the iconic music that defined this unforgettable year – 1975! – from hard rock to experimental German motorik, from genre-bending rock, pop, and soul to the raw energy of emerging punk rock and the beginnings of disco.
