Live: Gigs That Rocked New Zealand

Description

Whether they played to 80,000 in a stadium or festival, or for a few dozen people in a pub, the world's greatest musical performers have helped change forever our concept of live entertainment. This beautifully-crafted book brings together the best-ever collection of photographs and stories from New Zealand concerts over the past half century, from the legendary Johnny Cash in 1959 to today's high-tech extravaganzas. Almost 600 photographs, many of them rare and previously unpublished, show how we sang, screamed and danced to acts like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Bob Marley, Led Zeppelin and hundreds more bands who performed LIVE.

Author description

More than 50 leading music photographers and writers have collaborated to produce LIVE, under the direction of Bruce Jarvis and Josh Easby. Jarvis is regarded by many as New Zealand's best concert photographer while Easby is a former manager of Radio Hauraki and an award-winning journalist.
