A Cellarful of Noise (Rhino Rediscovery)

7 reviews
Brian Epstein, Martin Lewis

Byron Preiss, 1998

A Beautiful Account by the True Fifth Beatle
Brian Epstein's magnificence and decency as a person, and secondly as manager of the Fab Four, is what really comes across in this warm, revealing account of the rise of the Beatles. I really think that had Brian lived, the boys would never have split up. Argued yes, but split, no. Not if Brian would have had his way. His integrity (such as not going back on a contract, even though it would have ...

Scoring a Whole in One: People in Enterprise Playing in Concert (Best Management Practices)

6 reviews
Edward Martin Baker

Crisp Learning, 1999

Systems & The Enterprise
Like much of the writing of the author's mentor, Dr. W. E. Deming, this book is deceptively simple and straightforward, but contains some basic principles of leadership that have profound implications for the management of any enterprise. Before proceeding, I have to reveal my bias. I have to good fortune to be friend of the author. Dr. Ed Baler. He and I co-facilitated several Deming 4 day ...

Pimm Jal De La Parra

Omnibus Press, 1995

Essential for the U2 fan or U2 collector
This is the updated version. The first book that came out covered U2 from their earliest stages up through to the beginnings of the Popmart tour. This one carries us through the Popmart tour right through to the end of the Elevation tour. Pretty much every U2 show ever played is covered to some extent, whether it's just with a setlist or a lengthy review. Each tour has a page or so dedicated to ...

The Who Concert File (Talking) (Talking)

Joe McMichael, Jack Lyons

Omnibus Press, 2004

The Who's Playbook
If you get an opportunity to see The Who (now on tour - summer/fall 2000) please do so. Other than Bruce Springsteen, they are without peer on stage.This book does a fine job of detailing Who gigs from the early 1960's (as the Detours)to the 1996-1997 Quadrophenia tour. The authors recap the songs, the stage "happenings" (smashed guitars, onstage feuds, etc.)and other "Odds & Sods". It's ...

Bruce Springsteen on Tour: 1968-2005

10 reviews
Dave Marsh

Bloomsbury USA, 2006

As a huge Springsteen fan, I devoured this book and begged for more.
Dave Marsh is not what you'd call an unbiased journalist. Nor should he be. He is basically the official Springsteen biographer, and his previous books have documented his rise (the first book), then his popular explosion (his second book), which have been collated in the terrific "Two Hearts". Here, he provides a tour-by-tour analysis/memoir/scrapbook of the career of Bruce Springsteen. I ...

Phil Kaufman, Colin White

White-Boucke Publishing, 2005

I Heart the Mangler!
I first became interested in Phil Kaufman after watching the bonus footage section on the DVD "Grand Theft Parsons". After a little internet searching I came across this book. I am so glad that I did! What an amazing story. If there weren't photos & liner notes to back up this man's tale one might not believe it. Phil, known as "The Mangler", has gone from being a former inmate & friend to a ...

First Light: Animal Voices in Concert

PublishingWorks, 2006

ANIMAL LOVERS: YOU'VE NOT READ ANYTHING LIKE THIS!
This wonderful compilation of REAL stories about REAL animals sent me on a roller-coaster ride of emotions, for which I wasn't prepared! I cried, I laughed, I ached with hope for some of these innocent furry friends. I am and have been an animal lover all my life and have never lived without the company of Dog Friends. THIS BOOK truly altered my relationship with my own dogs, and all those ...

No Ticket? No Problem!: How to Sneak into Sporting Events and Concerts

7 reviews
Scott Kerman

Summit Publishing Group, 1996

Good clean sneakery!
Now we can all get in, ticket or no ticket. The professor teaches us by example how to get in to our favorite events. If you love sports or just events in general, "sold out" will never have the same meaning again. Scott writes with an irreverant wit, always asking, "Why shouldn't I be able to go in?" Hysterical and almost unbelievable. Even if you have no intention of trying his techniques ...

4 reviews
Mark E. Lawhon

Leathers Publishing, 2004

Classic Memories
This book brings back a lot of memories and is full of classic photos of some classic performers. Mark Lawhon's photographic style seems to capture the music and the moment and freeze it in time.

Concert Halls and Opera Houses: Music, Acoustics, and Architecture

Leo Beranek

Springer, 2003

Deeply interesting
The author of this book greets us with an endearing smile on the back flap of the dust cover, and has every reason to. Imagine spending a significant part of your life touring concert halls and opera houses all over the world, sitting in on concerts (often changing seats in the course of the program), in order to assess the acoustic properties of the venue at hand. Fortunately, dr. Beranek has ...

Claude-Michel Schonberg

Hal Leonard Pub. Corp, 1987

LOVE IT!!
I saw Miss Saigon on Broadway, and it was a wonderful experience, the best musical i've ever seen. The music is very great, and being able to play it on the piano and sing it is simply wonderful.

The Concert Book

James Francis Hollan

Bonus Books, 1999

Everything an organization needs to know about concerts!
The author dispenses a complete and concise guide that can be used by any organization in planning the benefit concert. The arrangement of chapters allows the committee to walk through the process knowing full well what is involved. Hollan's sense of humor is evident throughout the book and it is apparent that he has an uncanny ability to attend to detail without losing sight of the goal. ...

Suzanne Guy, Donna Lacy

Live Wire Press, 2002

My 7 year old's FAVORITE book!
My Seven year old daughter just loves this book. She chooses it often at story time. She received the book as a gift for her sixth birthday and it was instrumental( no pun intended!) in her learning to read. She enjoys the catchy rhymes and bright and colorful artwork. I highly recommend this book!

The Kinks: All Day and All of the Night: Day by Day Concerts, Recordings, and Broadcasts, 1964 -- 1997

5 reviews
Doug Hinman, The Kinks

Backbeat Books, 2004

Kinksfans, the waiting is over - An amazing achievement!!
This book is amazing. Trying to get the whereabouts together for a period of 35 years from one of the most erratic bands ever. It took 18 years of researching, collecting data in all corners of the world to get this book done. The Kinks did things on a spur of the moment, unlike The Beatles' or The Rolling Stones' management, who were better organized and as a result the information can be drawn ...

Summertime (Pop Concert Band)

5 reviews

Alfred Publishing Company, 1995

hauntingly evocative of summertime in the south
I have always loved the song "Summertime," which my mother used to sing to my family when I was growing up. This book adds new layers of meaning to the song, with gorgeous illustrations depicting an African-American family living in the South. This is currently one of my thirteen-month-old daughter's top three favorite books, although it is not intended for her age group. She responds ...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Live in Concert

5 reviews

Audio Literature, 1996

Great Stuff!
This is not actually the original novel. It's Douglas Adams reading excerpts from each of the novels in the series recorded live at the Almeida Theatre in London before an invited audience. I'd suggest it for the person that already knows all the books in the series and wants to complete their collection. Since it's just the really good bits, it's particularly suited for those times in the car ...
