In Led Zeppelin Crashed Here: The Rock and Roll Landmarks of North
America, pop culture historian Chris Epting takes you on a journey
across North America to the exact locations where rock and roll history
was made. Epting has compiled nearly 600 rock and roll landmarks,
combining historical information with trivia, photos, and backstage
lore, all with the enthusiasm of a true rock and roll devotee. No other
book delivers such an extensive list of rock and roll landmarks--from
beginnings (the site where Elvis got his first guitar), to endings (the
hotel where Janis Joplin died), and everything in between. The rowdiest
and the most talented rockers are all featured, with sidebars on musical
greats like Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and U2. And, of
course, you'll learn all about the infamous "Riot House" on the Sunset
Strip where Led Zeppelin "crashed."
Led Zeppelin Crashed Here: The Rock and Roll Landmarks of North
America is an entertaining and rollicking road map through the entire
history of rock and roll!
