Performances by various rock performers of the late sixties.

The story of rock lives in Lynn Goldsmith’s photographs. After coming of age in the Midwest in the tumultuous 1960s, she crashed the music scene in New York and emerged as one of its leading image-makers. She chronicled Bruce Springsteen’s passage to glory, the Rolling Stones’ legendary stadium tours, Michael Jackson’s staggering ascent, U2’s arrival in New York, and the brooding force of Bob Marley. Culture heroes like Bob Dylan and Patti Smith became frequent subjects for her lens. The range of her work is staggering. In Rock and Roll Stories, she shares the best of this work. Her commentary takes the reader into the studio, the tour bus, the concert hall, and the streets where the pictures were made, offering revealing perspectives on her subjects and herself. A greatly expanded and newly designed edition of her very successful book PhotoDiary (1995), this volume captures the story of a generation’s loyalty to rock and roll.

Rock & roll has been around for almost 50 years, and since 1967 Rolling Stone has been following the circus, reporting with wit and insight on its antics. Now Rolling Stone and Chronicle Books join forces to deliver the first five decades of rock & roll as it's never been read before. The Decades of Rock & Roll delves into Rolling Stone's vast archive and pulls out the most interesting, insightful, and seminal essays and interviews written in the history of music journalism. Full of the funnystories and vivid details that bring history to life, the pieces are organized decade by decade along with newly written retrospectives from crack writers like Rob Sheffield and Anthony DeCurtis. Stars like Little Richard, Bob Dylan, and Robert Plant are revealed in incredible interviews. Paul McCartney gives his top ten songs of the '60s as does Moby for the '90s. Black-and-white photos capture Otis Redding on his knees, screaming into the microphone, or Donna Summer wreathed in '70s glitz. From R&B to punk rock to rap to grunge, The Decades of Rock & Roll gives fans of all ages the lowdown on the way it was, and the way it is today

Voici une histoire vraie, la fabuleuse histoire du Rock and Roll Circus. Club de Saint-Germain-des-Prés ouvert le vendredi 13 juin 1969 et fermé à la fin de l'année 1972. Jamais nuits ne furent plus folles que ces années-là. Les Beatles avaient transformé le rock en pop. Le blues du Delta suintait dans les rues de Londres. Aux États-Unis, des fous furieux préparaient le festival de Woodstock. Au Vietnam, les GI's se passaient des joints et les Doors en boucle. À Paris, les Rolling Stones dansaient avec le diable au banquet des mendiants. Janis Joplin déboulait sur les platines. Jacques Prévert et Antoine Blondin refaisaient le monde à la Cantine du Circus. Richard Bohringer n'avait pas encore de César. Gene Vincent voulait une caisse de bière pour chanter «Be Bop a Lula». Michel Polnareff s'était planqué dans une poubelle pour échapper aux coups de couteau de sa compagne jalouse. Johnny Hallyday et Jim Morrison étaient inséparables. Dans la nuit du 2 au 3 juillet 1971, les WC du Rock and Roll Circus étaient fermés de l'intérieur... Jim Morrison n'était plus accoudé au bar ! Sam Bernett a commencé sa carrière au New York Times à New York dans les années 1960. De retour à Paris il est animateur vedette à RTL et à Europe 1.

With The Rolling Stones, Keith Richards created the songs that roused the world, and he lived the original rock and roll life.

Creating immortal riffs like the ones in "Jumping Jack Flash" and "Honky Tonk Women." His relationship with Anita Pallenberg and the death of Brian Jones. Tax exile in France, wildfire tours of the U.S., isolation and addiction. Falling in love with Patti Hansen. Estrangement from Jagger and subsequent reconciliation.
