The Music Never Stops: What Putting on 10,000 Shows Has Taught Me About Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Magic Book by Peter Shapiro (Signed)
Softcover book, signed by author Peter Shapiro.
The engrossing, insightful, and personal musical odyssey of Peter Shapiro, perhaps the most notable independent concert promoter since Bill Graham.
Peter Shapiro is the best-known and most influential concert promoter of his generation. He owned the legendary Wetlands in Tribeca and has gone on to much bigger things, including Brooklyn Bowl (NYC, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, and Nashville), the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, producing U2 3D, and promoting the Grateful Deadâs fiftieth-anniversary tour (âFare Thee Wellâ) featuring the Core Four and Trey Anastasio⊠and so much more.
In The Music Never Stops, Shapiro shares the inside story of how he became a powerhouse in the music industryâan island in an increasingly consolidated landscape of venues, ticketing, and touringâthrough the lens of fifty iconic concerts. Along the way, readers gain insight into what it was like to work with some of the most celebrated bands in modern music, including not just the Grateful Dead and U2, but also Bob Dylan, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, Al Green, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Jason Isbell, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, The Roots, Robert Plant, Leonard Cohen, and many more.
Featuring never-before-published backstage anecdotes, insights, and photographs of the biggest bands in the business and the concerts that later became legendary, The Music Never Stops is a perfect guide for anyone who wants to understand the modern live music industry.
