The
Scene
The Music Scene
series traces the phenomenal story of
modern popular music, from its earliest beginnings in the
postwar 1950s to its current status as a multi-billion-dollar
global industry.
Performing Live
explores what it takes to put on a live
performance, from a small, intimate gig to an arena-sized
concert. The book explores how musicians prepare for
live performances, from techniques that help them to deal
with pre-gig nerves to the methods they use to engage
with the audience. The work of behind-the-scenes staff is
also revealed, from technicians and roadies to managers
and promoters. This title also takes a look at the greatest
live performances in the history of modern music, from
the sensational charity concert Live Aid to dazzling
performances at festivals such as Glastonbury.
