Seventy-nine/eighty

by Richard Schoenberg

This book is a wonderful collection of photographs that captures the sunrise of many performers' careers and the twilights of others and the full spectrum in between. Along with the compelling candid moments captured on film, the book features striking, in-concert performances by up-and-coming and established artists like John Mellencamp (still known as John Cougar at the time), Squeeze, the Jam, the Pretenders Wreckless Eric; Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics, the B-52's and Roy Buchanon, as well as veteran performers like Johnny Winter, Edgar Winter, Leon Russell, Papa John Creach, Jerry Garcia, Iggy Pop, The Kinks, Frank Zappa and the Count Basie Orchestra among others.
