RON DELSENER PRESENTS Movie Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: In a career spanning 60 years, concert promoter & impresario Ron Delsener is the one name behind virtually every major contemporary music concert in New York City for generations. From promoting the Beatles at Forest Hills Tennis Stadium, to bringing David Bowie to Carnegie Hall and Patti Smith to the Palladium, to somehow convincing Simon & Garfunkel to bury the hatchet and play the biggest concert of all time in Central Park, Delsener was behind it all. Through a portrait of a mercurial and relentless showman, this film takes us behind-the-curtain through the last half century of the live music business, chronicling the tactics that drove live performance from disorganized, lo-fi nightclubs to international tours, arenas, stadiums, and, eventually, into a global empire. A transformation that Delsener is in many ways responsible for. Working in a business he helped to create Ron Delsener now in the later stages of his life, still has his hand in the game. Sure, he could stop – he maybe even should but Ron doesn’t know how.
Ron Delsener Presents is a documentary made by American filmmaker Jake Sumner.
