In 1995, before camera phones, before social media, filmmaker Tamra Davis brought her camera on tour with her then-husband Mike D from Beastie Boys. The Best Summer is a document of an era-defining moment in music, in the analogue glory days. Tamra’s unprecedented and completely informal access to electric performances, candid interviews, and intimate backstage life with Beastie Boys, Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, Rancid, Beck, The Amps, and Bikini Kill makes this documentary a must-see for any 90s rock fan.
