Ten Rules Of The Road That I Learned At My First Concert is one ordinary guy's saga of 160 concerts over the last 44 years:
"From scalping tickets to catch Captain Fantastic at the height of his success to missing the opportunity to see Sir Paul close down Shea Stadium; from meeting one band in the middle of 43rd street to watching another play in a parking lot; from seeing a crowd throw objects at an amateur lead-in band to hearing two legends, Macca and Bruce, play "I Saw Her Standing There" - twice; from never seeing Van Morrison play "Someone Like You" to having him surprise us all with a rendition of "Send In The Clowns"; from attending a concert that never started to being at a show that we wouldn’t let end; the “Ten Rules Of The Road” have marked the moments of my journey from August 15, 1976 right through today."

TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT: AN ORDINARY GUY'S LIFETIME OF LIVE ROCK & ROLL

Congratulations, I understand and know what it's like to have a own written book in your hands and guess all your relatives must be as proud as you should be. More comments on the book itself will follow...
As can be seen on Amazon.fr : Attention, attention, Speedy est une légende ! Une légende tout comme le sont Rocket, Titus, AtticRock, Edge, Dino Tunz, Ace, BBKron et bien d'autres. Il fait partie de ces éminents encyclopédistes qui ont révolutionné l'écoute de la musique, principalement celle des années soixante-dix, en proposant sur des blogs mondialement connus leurs souvenirs téléchargeables de concerts historiques ou cultes de l'ensemble de nos artistes préférés. Speedy a un faible; et c'est peu dire, pour le Grateful Dead mais aussi pour les monstres sacrés de la musique anglaise, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Eric Clapton, et c'est dans son livre qu'il nous propose un tour d'horizon de ses meilleurs concerts, de ses anecdotes autour de 10 thèmes que je vous conseille de découvrir dans cette lecture agréable et qui vous fera certainement sourire, si comme lui, vous avez parcouru les salles de concerts durant ces quarante dernières années à la recherche éternelle du frisson musical, du solo de guitare céleste ou du riff tueur.
PS : Le livre est en anglais mais se lit très facilement.
Thanks Derek!
