It wasn't all great in the 60s and 70s either. If you get the chance, watch the TV film of the Cream's last concert at the Albert Hall, directed in 1968. The cameras are everywhere but where they should be - from a musician's point of view. Trendy fast zooming in and out, focussing on players who aren't' taking a solo. Complete fuck-up, in my view, and not the best work of director Tony Palmer.

Typical of much of the period, and I remember it well.
