Editorial Review:
Journey through America’s rich rock 'n' roll history with the musical landmarks detailed in this extensive collection. Nearly 600 locations, including birthplaces, concert locales, hotel rooms, and graves, are neatly compiled and paired with historical tidbits, trivia, photographs, and backstage lore—from the site where Elvis got his first guitar and Buddy Holly’s plane crashed to Sid and Nancy’s hotel room and the infamous “Riot House” on the Sunset Strip. The rowdiest and the most talented rockers are all featured, with sidebars on musical greats like Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and U2. Learn the locations of the secret rehearsal for David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs album, the club where the Sex Pistols played their first and last concert in the U.S., the house where Kurt Cobain died, where Keith Richards threw a television set out of a hotel window, and hundreds more sites from the past.

Book review 
2008-05-25 - Useful for dipping in and out of. Probably need to have the other books in the series.
I saw the Author featured on Real Orange (OC local show).. 
2007-12-19 - 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. 
2007-08-13 - 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
2007-06-23 - 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.
