This is the first-ever collection of interviews, photographs, and
up-to-date information on our best- loved venues, great and small, many
of which have closed.
Includes interviews and anecdotes from promoters, fans, and musicians
concerning historic arenas in the United States--the Hollywood Bowl in
Los Angeles; the Crocodile Café in Seattle; and CBGB, Carnegie Hall, and
the Cotton Club in New York. It also features old favorites in Australia
like Cloudland Ballroom in Brisbane, the Oxford Funhouse in Sydney, the
Crystal Ballroom in Melbourne, and the Tivoli in Adelaide. Major London
venues covered include the Astoria, 100 Club, Hammersmith Palais,
Roundhouse, Forum, Hackney Empire, and the Marquee.
