Trips; Rock Life In The Sixties by Ellen SanderMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Ellen Sanders' breezy, personal memoir of the 60s rock life is a friendly, easy and affecting read of this momentous pop culture movement. She explores the NYC coffeehouse scene and burgeoning clubs, the depravity of a Led Zeppelin U.S. tour, the joy of Monterey and apex of Woodstock, and the crash at Altamont. She has candid observations of Jagger, Morrison and more, especially in the Laurel Canyon scene in the fitful birth of CSNY, etc. A very good history for any fan.
The book is about 16o-some pages with lots of B&W pics, then some quick sketches of key artists and highlights of their discographies.
