Before adding this autobiography, told chronologically through the unusual method of discrete quotes from the subject and the people in his life (including co-author Robert Greenfield), to my GR to-read shelf, I had heard the name of Bill Graham but had never known what this remarkable man looked like. A grandson of Russian Jews born in Germany during the rise of Nazism, Graham's story is quintessential immigrant comes to USA and makes good. For any fan of rock and roll, this is essential reading about one of its greatest promoters ever. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Gritty, moving, funny, and always fascinating, Bill Graham Presents is the inside story of the explosive and unforgettable man who created the business of rock. As a child, Bill Graham fled Europe to escape Hitler's armies. He grew up on the streets of New York and in the dining rooms of the hotels in the Catskills. After failing as an actor, he headed for San Francisco right before the Summer of Love where he founded the Fillmore and launched the rock icons of a generation--Janis Joplin, Otis Redding, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, the Grateful Dead, and more. He was a complex, caring, compassionate whirlwind of energy who rock stars either loved or hated. In his own voice and those of the people who knew him--Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Grace Slick, Ken Kesey, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, and Carlos Santana--we hear Bill's story as well as the scoop on the major events in rock for more than three decades, ending with his tragic death in a 1991 helicopter crash.
