The Documentary

LIFE ON THE V began production in 2008 after extensive research was conducted on V66, the employees, the musicians featured on V66 and the influence. Several archival tapes were converted from older formats to modern formats. Below is a partial list of the interviews conducted for this documentary. Thanks to a viral fan base, LOTV amassed a great buzz in the press (Boston Globe, Boston Phoenix), TV (Fox 25 News), radio (WFNX, WAAF, WZLX), and especially online (on myspace, facebook, twitter and youtube). In 2010, to celebrate 25th anniversary of the launch of V66 and to capitalize on the excitement of the documentary, a V66 Reunion Concert was held at the House of Blues in Boston. Tons of V66-era bands reunited and performed, alongside V66 clips, and even some introductions from V66 personalities. Watch this site for updates on the film's premiere and screenings.
