On the night of February 20, 2003, more than 400 music fans packed into the small Station nightclub. Just seconds after 80s sensation Great White took the stage, pyrotechnics ignited a fire that raced up the walls and across the ceiling of the packed venue. In less than 90 seconds, most of those who hadn't already made their escape would be trapped inside. They would be burned alive, identified days later only by dental records or tattoos. The Station fire was a perfect storm of human error that became one of the worst nightclub tragedies in U.S. history. It remains America's deadliest rock concert. It left 100 people dead, more than 200 injured, and devastated the tight-knit community of West Warwick, Rhode Island. Weeks after the fire a charred handwritten notebook page was recovered from the Station nightclub ashes that contained rows of names and above them were the words 'Guest List'. "America's Deadliest Rock Concert: The Guest List" is a film about the lives affected and forever connected by one of the most horrific tragedies in music history. The event devastated the close-knit state of Rhode Island and changed the concert landscape for New England rock music fans. Great White's songs would never again be played by Rhode Island radio stations. The film contrasts Jack Russell's post-fire journey, in a search for redemption, with survivor Joe Kinan's rebirth, courage and inspiration.
