Beskrivning
From the 1950s through today, here is the - complete - visual history of the rock concert poster: the funkiest bills advertising Elvis, B.B. King, and Howlin' Wolf; the multicoloured psychedelic hallucinations promoting the Grateful Dead, Dylan, and the Doors; the deliciously tasteless art for the Sex Pistols, Crime, and the Clash. From the Red Dog Saloon in San Francisco, where the psychedelic scene started, to CBGB, New York's punk Mecca, and beyond. 1,500 images searched out world-wide from clubs, attics, and bedrooms—as well as more formal collections—are reproduced in their original blazing colours.  Replete with firsthand history—including exclusive interviews with scores of insiders, poster artists, musicians, and promoters—this is the ultimate high for the rock music fan, required reading for the poster collector, a treasure trove for the graphic artist, and a riotous feast for anyone who digs pop culture.

"Fascinating and accessible ... useful for both the scholar and the fan" --New York Times "A literate, loving look at the poster's evolution" --Chicago Tribune "It flat-out rocks." --Newsweek "Widely considered the genre's original bible." --San Francisco Chronicle "[This] exhaustively researched compilation brings together more than thirty years' worth of the best and brightest rock posters and art work." --Rolling Stone "There really wasn't such a thing as a rock poster expert until Paul Grushkin established himself as one with his stellar ... Art of Rock" --CMJ New Music Monthly "Rock 'n' roll is here to stay, and the old posters advertising live shows seem to be sticking around too." --The Wall Street Journal
