From tiny pubs and clubs, to refined concert halls, to huge amphitheatres and parks, this unusual book celebrates the venues, musicians and shows that put live rock in the spotlight of London's 1950s-'70s cultural scene. Based on eyewitness accounts, this spectacular tale is told by the musicians themselves - stars and unknowns - plus the promoters, owners, bouncers, roadies, and fans who made it happen. Rare color photos bring it all to life, along with an outstanding collection of memorabilia featuring tickets, advertisements, contracts, handbills, and more. 192 pages, 100 color photos, 7 inch. x 9 inch. 0-87930-572-X
