"The Kingston Trio: Then & Now" Director: Chip Miller"

This mini documentary video is the prototype for a feature-length documentary celebrating the 60-year musical legacy of The Kingston Trio. It also was a prelude to the 2016 PBS Television Live Concert Special, "The Kingston Trio Celebration" - an all-star concert filmed at the Avalon Hollywood Theater (formerly the legendary Hollywood Palace). The historic event celebrated the legacy of The Kingston Trio. Along with the 2003-2017 Kingston Trio (Bill Zorn, George Grove & Rick Dougherty), the concert featured an historic last performance by the legendary late Bob Shane, founder of the original Trio with Nick Reynolds and Dave Guard, then John Stewart, who replaced Guard.
For ten years, the Trio reigned and ruled the charts. At Capitol Records, the top selling artists of all time, were The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, The Beach Boys, and...The Kingston Trio.
The PBS concert was directed by Chip Miller who also co-produced with Terrel Cass. Starring in the final show, beside The Kingston Trio and Bob Shane, are Al Jardine of The Beach Boys, Timothy B. Schmit of The Eagles, Barry "Eve of Destruction" McGuire of The New Christy Minstrels, the late Trini Lopez, The Limeliters, Henry Diltz (Modern Folk Quartet), Josh Reynolds (son of the Trio's late Nick Reynolds), Sana Christian, Shari Belafonte (daughter of Harry), and long-time Trio bassist, Paul Gabrielson. The concert was line produced by Travis Miller; produced by Terrel Cass & Chip Miller; executive produced by George Jensen & Barry Speyers, associate produced by Wood Allen. Bryan Greenberg was the DP/main camera, and Cameron Cannon and video pioneer Bill Dear were key camera operators. Miller edited at DCAM Studios Post facility. John Wroble mixed final sound, with Chip Miller and Bill Zorn overseeing the mix.
In 2018, a DVD and CD soundtrack was released is still available from Desert C.A.M. Studios. This promotional mini-documentary appears on the DVD as a bonus. The DVD content is also available worldwide on all major streaming platforms through MVD Distributors.
The live concert footage used in this doc video, was from a live concert shoot in Borrego Springs at the Dreamweaver Amphitheater that Chip Miller also directed; as well as excerpts from an interview with Bob Shane by San Francisco KDFC On-Air Radio Personality Ray White; and from five music videos that Bob and the Trio performed at the Desert C.A.M. Studios green screen stage. Sadly, Bob Shane and Trini Lopez passed away in 2020 and Ray White passed away in 2021.
