br. Gli Who sono una delle più importanti band nella storia del rock: innovativi, creativi, devastanti e distruttivi, ma allo stesso tempo profondi e intensi. Il cantante Roger Daltrey ha dato voce e immagine al modello del rock singer. La follia creativa del batterista Keith Moon, le schitarrate e gli esperimenti ai synth di Pete Townshend, nonché il virtuosismo del bassista John Entwistle hanno contribuito a costruire un'entità rock di rara potenza. Tra la fine degli anni Sessanta e l'inizio dei Settanta, The Who, grazie alle qualità compositive e alla profondità come autore di Townshend, agli arrangiamenti e alle esecuzioni vocali e musicali, hanno pubblicato quattro album - tommy, who's next, live at leeds e quadrophenia - che sono diventati pietre miliari nella storia della musica. I filmati delle performance al Monterey Pop Festival, a Woodstock, e all'Isle of Wight Festival hanno contribuito a immortalarli per sempre nel ruolo di dèi della musica. Questo libro, intitolato come una canzone della band, celebra il mito inossidabile degli Who con uno sguardo al contesto sociale e musicale. Il volume è arricchito dalle testimonianze dei fan italiani e da alcuni contenuti esclusivi: una chiacchierata informale con Kenney Jones (ex componente degli Who), una testimonianza di John Dalton (bassista dei Kinks) e un'intervista a Simon Townshend (fratello di Pete e membro della Who Touring Band).

brossura Realizzato come un concept album tipico del progressive rock anni 70, il libro racconta il viaggio di Giuseppe "Joe" Vescovi che negli anni 60 suona con i Lonely Boys e con Franco e i Boa Boa (di Franco Castellani, ex Ragazzi del Sole). Poi conosce i Trip (Wegg Andersen, Billy Gray, Ian Broad), gruppo beat inglese che ha da poco perso il chitarrista (Ritchie Blackmore, futuro Deep Purple) e il cantante Riki Maiocchi che li ha portati in Italia. Con altri ingressi e uscite (Pino Sinnone, Roger Peacock, Furio Chirico e Nunzio Cucciolo Favia) il gruppo diventa ospite nei Piper di Roma e Viareggio, realizza 4 LP (The Trip, Caronte, Atlantide, Time of change), partecipa al Cantapaiper e al Cantagiro, suona nei Festival Pop e recita nel film "Terzo Canale Avventura a Montecarlo". Infine lo scioglimento e il periodo travagliato di Vescovi negli Acqua Fragile e Dik Dik. Una completa analisi sui Trip, soffermandosi sulle esperienze passate e future dei singoli membri (Three Muskeeters, Asylum's Group, Teste Dure, the Bigs, Anteeeks, Knife Edge), daranno al lettore una totale panoramica della loro musica impressionistica. Immancabile per collezionisti di dischi in vinile del prog italiano.

ill., br. Fra la fine degli anni Sessanta e l'inizio dei Settanta, il mondo sembra sulle soglie di una rivoluzione. I movimenti pacifisti, la stagione straordinaria delle arti e in particolare della musica, il Black Power, il Vietnam, Woodstock, i movimenti studenteschi, la psichedelia e mille altri rivoli intellettuali, artistici ed emozionali si fondono in una gigantesca onda d'urto sul punto di travolgere ogni cosa. Un personaggio geniale e poliedrico come Howard Smith - firma di una rubrica iconica per la controcultura sulla rivista «The Village Voice» - era il profilo ideale per diventare il grande narratore di questa ribellione creativa. Fra il 1969 e il 1972 gli viene affidata una trasmissione notturna dall'emittente radiofonica WABC, The Howard Smith Scenes, e la sua voce diventa subito leggendaria. Smith invita in studio i più significativi personaggi della controcultura - registi, attori, scrittori, rockstar e artisti - e intreccia dialoghi di straordinaria libertà e franchezza. Ciascuno di loro sta attraversando un momento irripetibile della propria carriera e lo racconta al microfono di Smith, che trasmette in diretta o registra le interviste su grandi nastri e li archivia nel seminterrato di casa sua, dove solo pochi anni fa, dopo la sua morte, sono stati ritrovati dal figlio. Ciascuno di questi nastri è una capsula del tempo che riporta un frammento vitale di quella stagione straordinaria. Dennis Hopper e Peter Fonda nella prima intervista dopo l'uscita di Easy Rider, l'ultima intervista a Janis Joplin quattro giorni prima della sua morte, Eric Clapton per la prima volta come leader di una band, e le interviste a John Lennon e Yoko Ono che guardano oltre i Beatles, e George Harrison, Andy Warhol, Alien Ginsberg, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Norman Mailer, Lou Reed, Frank Zappa, Vidal Sassoon, Dustin Hoffmann, Joe Cocker, John Mayall, Ario Guthrie, Jerry Garcia, Ravi Shankar e altri ancora. Queste conversazioni, qui per la prima volta raccolte in volume, restituiscono al lettore un momento di irripetibile libertà e disordine creativo, fonte di emozioni e riflessioni di intatta potenza.
