The Last Waltz by The Band, featuring: Clapton, Harrison, Dylan, Neil Young, Dr. John... recommended CD one of the best live albums ever |
| "As you
might have heard, we got a couple of friends joining in with us
tonight," mutters Robbie Robertson dryly. Recorded at San
Francisco's Winterland on Thanksgiving Day 1976, the Band's swan
song is a rousing celebration, not a bittersweet eulogy. The friends in
question: Ronnie
Hawkins, Neil
Young, Joni
Mitchell, Neil
Diamond, Dr.
John, Paul
Butterfield, Muddy
Waters, Pinetop
Perkins, Eric
Clapton, Van
Morrison, Bob
Dylan, Ron
Wood, Ringo
Starr. Add studio sequences featuring the
Staples and Emmylou
Harris, and you have a pretty formidable supporting cast for the
Band, who always did quite well on their own. All involved have done
better work elsewhere, but that's far beside the point, which is that
anyone who wasn't there should be very, very jealous. --Marc

Book Description
In 1983 the first edition of this book broke ground in covering rock and roll and its history. This new edition has expanded in size by more than a third to include new performers. In order to keep the size reasonable, some solo entries from the previous edition have been combined into group entries. There is a good range in coverage in terms of both time (Leadbelly to Del-Vikings to the Cranberries) and genres (Basia to Cypress Hill to Def Leppard). In addition to entries for performers, there are such topical entries as AOR, Grunge, MTV, and Gangsta Rap. Each letter of the alphabet contains a list of Grammy winners whose names begin with that letter. This information might be more useful arranged by date in one list. Black-and-white portraits are provided rather sparingly. With its reasonable price and its currency through early 1995, The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia is recommended for high-school and public libraries. Copyright© 1995, American Library Association.

| Reviews This is the definative Rock'N'Roll reference book. It may not contain every band that ever was, but does it really need too. Helpfully lists band members names, birthdates and hometowns, when and where the band was formed All the albums up til publishing date etc... Contains non-biased entries with a special page for each section on Grammy winners -- who won what and when, as well as a listing of the Hall of Famers. This is the way to start your Music reference collection, I know, because its how I started mine. Selected by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as its official source of information, this authoritative volume, first published in 1983, once again tops the charts with its full coverage of every aspect of the rock scene. Accompanying the more than 1,800 performer profiles are essays that reveal the artists' musical influences, first breaks, hits and misses, and more Click here for "The New Rolling Stone Encyclopedia of Rock & Roll" at 20% off its cheap price. |
