Publisher Synopsis
As a reference tool, music buffs and casual fans alike will find this volume indispensable. Glatt has spent the better part of 20 years assembling a truly staggering amount of information on a period of music that is often oversimplified as a haze of drugs and sex. Influential though those elements may have been, Glatt focuses instead on a triumphantly thorough chronicle of the business decisions and industry trends that affected the music of a generation, like Janis Joplin's decision to split with Big Brother and the Holding Company. * Publishers Weekly * You had to be there, and . . . Glatt finds people who were behind the scenes, from secretaries and stage hands. * New York Post * Live at the Fillmore East & West is an entertaining overview of the rock scene in the late '60s and early '70s. . .The most fascinating part of Live is the detailed explanation of how the Fillmore East came to be born. * San Francisco Book Review * "Glatt weaves the tales of legendary music impresario Bill Graham, one of the most bombastic and combative figures in the history of the music business... It is those outsized, over the top personalities, that Glatt captures so well the propels the entertaining tale. While Graham is either beloved or outright hated, Glatt captures the promoters enterprising genius, and willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed. Along the way it amounted to stellar successes, world famous tantrums, and rock bottom lows. " - My Big Honkin Blog Read more...
