From the Bath Pavilion hosting Gene Vincent, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in 1963, through the huge variety of acts who took to the stage at the Colston Hall or Corn Exchange, to Judas Priest playing the Hippodrome in 1978, Robin Askew profiles West Country gigs with anecdotes that capture the era.
Lost, forgotten and previously untold eye-opening tales from the gigs you'll wish you'd seen.
The West Country might not have a place in rock history to match that of London or Liverpool, but some incredible shows took place here, including the UK's first outdoor pop riots and key performances by many of the greats.
This anecdote-rich book whisks you through 15 eventful years of rock, with walk-on parts for such unlikely figures as Michael Palin and Terry Pratchett.
Featuring: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Queen, Pink Floyd, Elton John, Led Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Genesis, Yes, Bob Dylan, The Who, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Chuck Berry, The Kinks, Cream, Deep Purple, T. Rex, Slade, Black Sabbath, Traffic, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Thin Lizzy, The Byrds, The Faces, Status Quo, Neil Young, Rush, Tangerine Dream, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Steely Dan, King Crimson, Kraftwerk, Bob Marley and the Wailers, Hawkwind, Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits, Motoerhead, Judas Priest, and many more...
