About the book
Rock promoter Bill Graham tells his own story, with Robert Greenfield, covering his years as a refugee from the Holocaust and his rise in the music business. It takes in venues such as Winterland, the original Fillmore Auditorium and the two Fillmores, East and West, where his pairing of performers and audiences helped shape the music of a generation and grow a billion-dollar business around the world. Graham gives firsthand accounts of how he helped launch acts such as Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Otis Redding and the Grateful Dead. The book includes 50 photographs.
Live Nation marketing manager James Murphy said young people should learn the history of the concert business from it before trying to enter the field.

James Murphy (Marketing Manager/Live Nation)
Bill Graham Presents My Life Inside Rock and Out because I think it’s very important for young people to understand the history of the concert business before trying to jump into it. You need to have a clear understanding of where it’s been to know where it’s going and how you can help take it there.
