On My Radar (Tuesday Edition)

Backstage Past 
by Barry Fey
Hardcover
Lone Wolfe Press

From the book publicity:

Long before corporate greed took over the rock concert business and caused ticket prices to skyrocket, Barry Fey and his company Feyline Concerts were promoting shows with ticket prices under $10.00 for The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Led Zeppelin, U2 and many others. Always concerned that his audiences had the best experience possible, he was honored a never equaled three consecutive years by Billboard Magazine; as Concert Promoter of the Year in 1978 through 1980.

During Barry Fey s 32 years as a promoter he s rubbed elbows and cut deals with nearly every legend of Rock n Roll and in Back Stage Past he shares those behind the scenes stories of a mercurial business during a tumultuous time. It is a backstage pass to never before revealed tales of the Rock `n Roll business and its performers. Includes an original poem by U2 great Bono.
