Led Zeppelin Crashed Here: The Rock and Roll Landmarks of North America

Covering jazz and blues as well as rock ‘n’ roll, Epting provides a geographical breakdown of the spots in which key things happened in the history of the latter genre and its predecessors. The places and stories are often covered in less than a page, with a photo of the spot and even a time and date. The names and the acts that appear in those places are true music heavyweights and the stories are not always mere trivia. Epting sets the scene with a personal evocation of the Rolling Stones playing an impromptu gig on the back of a truck, which helped to instigate his reasons for writing the book. A very interesting read.
