On the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in 1965 and 1966 an electrifying
scene appeared out of nowhere, exploded into creativity, and then,
just as suddenly, vanished. So much remarkable music, art, and
social revolution came from one place at one time, it's difficult
now to grasp how it all happened. This book tells the story of the
astonishing time when rock'n'roll displaced movies as the centre of
action in Hollywood. From the moment The Byrds debuted at Ciro's on
March 26th 1965-with Bob Dylan joining them onstage-right up to the
demonstrations of November 1966, Sunset Strip nightclubs nurtured
and broke The Doors, Love, Buffalo Springfield (featuring Neil
Young and Stephen Stills), Frank Zappa's Mothers Of Invention,
Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, The Turtles, The Mamas and
The Papas, and many others. The Strip was a hotbed for garage punk
bands such as The Standells, The Electric Prunes, and The Leaves.
Folk-rock and psychedelia were born there, while it was also a
favourite hangout and inspiration for The Beatles, The Rolling
Stones, and The Velvet Underground. Republished to coincide with
the 50th anniversary of these incredible times, Riot On Sunset
Strip: Rock'n'Roll's Last Stand In Hollywood captures the
excitement of this great artistic awakening, telling how the scene
came together and then fell apart at the Monterey Pop festival, the
tragic grand finale of the Summer of Love. It serves as a startling
evocation of the social and artistic revolution that was the 60s.
