Customer Reviews

love this book

This book was so good - I bought one for every music lover on my list at x-mas!!!!!!! I was born in the late 70's --- so it was interesting reading about the major musical events

I Was There: At Least, The Book Makes Me Feel That Way

This book is a great read for anyone into music, looking at the history of it. I was born in the late 80s, and it sucks because the best music was all before my time. the 60s and 70s rock... nothing is better. That being said, this book does a great job of providing a history of (mostly American) music through a series of concerts... it's not just about the music or the performer, but world-events and politics ... It captures all the emotions that go along with the time period and the band that the performance is. A great read.

Fabulous History

I purchased this book for my husband's birthday and he absolutely loved it. He cannot put it down. He is reading every inch of it and then re-reads it to me. I heard about this on Mark & Brian radio show and thought it would be something my husband we love. I was right. It is a GREAT buy and it didn't cost an arm and a leg.
