The rock concert: we put on our favorite band shirt and wait for the lights to go down to watch the performers who created the soundtracks of our lives. That experience is like no other.
Marc Myers takes us on a journey from the genesis of the term “rock ‘n’ roll” to the epic Live Aid relief benefit in Rock Concert: An Oral History as Told by the Artists, Backstage Insiders, and Fans Who Were There.
