In 2001 MIT had the Dynamic Languages Wizards Series [1], which consisted of three panels of luminaries in the field (videos and participants names on the linked page). A lot of history was discussed in their 5+ hours.
They are also on YouTube:
Panel on Runtime: Richard Kelsey, David Moon, Tucker Withington, Kim Barrett, Scott McKay [2]
Panel on Compilation: David Detlefs, Will Clinger, Martin Rinard, and Mat Hostetter [3]
Panel on Language Design: Paul Graham, John Maeda, Jonathan Rees, Guy Steele [4]
