Knapp dreissig Jahre lang hielten die Grateful Dead mit ihrer Musik, vor allem aber mit ihren Live- Konzerten die Aufbruchstimmung der Sechziger für ihre Fans, die "Deadheads", am Leben. Seit dem Ableben ihres Gitarristen Jerry Garcia am 9. August 1995 ist die Gruppe ein Kapitel Rock-Geschichte. Rock Scully schrieb es nieder. Seine Erinnerungen sind eine Reise zurück in den "Sommer der Liebe" nach San Francisco, in die Zeit des LSD und der großen Hippie-Kommunen. Mitreisende auf diesem aufregenden Trip sind Legenden wie Janis Joplin, Ken Kesey, William S. Burroughs, The Who und Crosby, Stills And Nash. Scully, selbst ein Heroin-Überlebender, schildert aber auch offen und ungeschönt den zunehmenden Verfall und die gespaltene Persönlichkeit von Band-Leader Jerry Garcia, der für seine Anhänger eine geradezu messianische Ausstrahlung besass. Dieses Buch ist die Neuauflage des Hannibal-Titels An American Odyssey - in neuer Gestaltung und Ausstattung.

An exclusive photographic diary of Andy Warhol''s life in 1964-5.

This is the book that restarted the James Dean cult by celebrating him as the cool, defiant visionary of pop culture who made adolescence seem heroic instead of awkward and who defined the style of rock ''n'' roll''s politics of delinquency. The only book to fully show how deliberately and carefully Dean crafted his own image and performances, and the product of still unequalled research, vivid writing, intimate photographs, and profound meditation, James Dean: The Mutant King has become almost as legendary as its subject.

Returning triumphantly from addiction and homelessness to sing, write songs, and act, the author tells of her rise, fall, and redemption in the music business--beginning with her childhood and continuing through her tumultuous relationship with Mick Jagger. 32 photos.

Renowned rock iconographer David Dalton, biographer of Jim Morrison, James Dean, Janis Joplin, and many others has written an astonishing monograph of this rock ''n'' roll "anykid", Sid Vicious.

Argues that Jim Morrison, the leader of the Doors, who died at the age of twenty-seven, was the last in a long line of "pop utopians"--such as Joplin, Kerouac, Hendrix, and Dean

Before the death, in 1982, of the renowned violist William Primrose, David Dalton engaged the musician in a lively series of conversations which touched on almost all aspects of viola technique, performance, repertoire, recording, and history. This book is a transcription of this dialogue, containing illuminating advice on holding the viola, bowing, tone, fingering, and practicing, all supported by copious illustrations and musical examples, as well as insights on repertoire for the viola--"an instrument without tradition"--and on performances of the great concertos by Bartok and Walton. Punctuated with frankness and humor, this book is a tribute to one of the greatest artists of this century.
