Customer Reviews

I saw the Author featured on Real Orange (OC local show)..

It was pretty cool seeing the local sites and history. I am sure the book won't let me down - if it is 1/1000th as good as the story on TV, I'll be happy.

A fun book.

Lots of great stories about the places that were made famous by the big names in rock and roll. I was a concert promoter for many years and was able to relate to a lot of the events and places. One theatre that was left out of the book (The Capitol Theater in Passaic, NJ) I co-found. I emailed the author of this book. He called me within a few hours from California. He said he was very sorry for the oversight and would put the Capitol Theatre in the next addition of the book.

Aother GREAT book by this author

Chris Epting has once again made a book about all the places behind the history. As with his three other book I've purchased ("James Dean, "M. Monroe" & "Elvis Presley") it's a collection of cool facts about the historical value of the PLACE, in addition to the event. If you are a person that looks at a physical location (like a liquor store on the corner of 7th & Main in L.A.) and says "Wow! That is where U2 made that iconic video 20 years ago), then all of Chris' books are for you. There is just something about staring at an otherwise boring street corner in San Franciso and realising that you're gazing at one of the most famous album covers of the past 50 years. In a time when our imaginations are used very little, this author has really given mine a workout.
