Since the emergence of rock'n'roll in the early 1950s, there have
been a number of live musical performances that were not only
memorable in themselves, but became hugely influential in the way
they shaped the subsequent trajectory and development of popular
music. Each, in its own way, introduced new styles, confronted
existing practices, shifted accepted definitions, and provided
templates for others to follow. Performance and Popular Music
explores these processes by focusing on some of the specific
occasions when such transformations occurred. An international
array of scholars reveal that it is through the (often disruptive)
dynamics of performance - and the interaction between performer and
audience - that patterns of musical change and innovation can best
be recognised. Through multi-disciplinary analyses which consider
the history, place and time of each event, the performances are
located within their social and professional contexts, and their
immediate and long-term musical consequences considered. From the
Beatles and Bob Dylan to Michael Jackson and Madonna, from
Woodstock and Monterey to Altamont and Live Aid, this book provides
an indispensable assessment of the importance of live performance
in the practice of popular music, and an essential guide to some of
the key moments in its history.
