On the Road : Recording the Stars in a Golden Era of Live Music
History of Live Rock Concerts - Book - by David W. Hewitt
(2021)
This book tells the story of a life spent on the road recording the
rich diversity of music in America when it was a major part of our
lives, not just digital background noise. For music fans, there was a
golden era of live music stretching from the 1960s through the 1980s,
and even evolving into the 1990s, if you want to be generous.
In the pre digital era, music fans spent a large part
of their free time (and money) listening to their favorite artist’s
recordings. It was an analog world so if they wanted to hear the music,
they actually had to listen to the radio, buy the records, and go to the
concerts. Popular artists had long performed live concerts in the major
markets, but it took rock nroll to make national touring a viable
business.
