I am a big fan of music so this book definitely appealed to me. It is an oral history of rock concerts from the 1950s up to LiveAid. I appreciated the variety of people who the author was able to interview for direct insight into the music industry. Each section/concert description is pretty short so he covers a wide variety of concerts and artists in a relatively short book. The only missing concert I wish he included was the The Who tragedy in 1979. He did cover Altamont so not sure why this one was not addressed. Overall I would recommend for concert lovers.
