A "fascinating, intimate" oral history of the golden age of the rock concert based on nearly 100 interviews with musicians, fans, and others (
Publishers Weekly).
Decades after the rise of rock music in the 1950s, the rock concert retains its power as a unifying experience-and as a multi-billion-dollar industry. In
Rock Concert, acclaimed music writer Marc Myers delves into the history of this cultural phenomenon, weaving together ground-breaking accounts from the people who were there.
Myers combines the tales of icons like Joan Baez, Ian Anderson, Alice Cooper, Steve Miller, Roger Waters, and Angus Young with the disc jockeys, audio engineers, and music journalists, and promoters who organized it all, like Michael Lang, co-founder of Woodstock, to create a rounded and vivid account of live rock's stratospheric rise.
Rock Concert offers a backstage view of rock 'n' roll as it evolved through live performance-from the rise of R&B in the 1950s, to the hippie gatherings of the '60s, and the growing arena tours of the '70s and '80s. Elvis Presley's gyrating hips, the "British Invasion" of the Beatles, the Grateful Dead's free flowing jams, and Pink Floyd's
The Wall are just a few of the defining musical acts that drive this rich narrative.
