"Overall, the book is an interesting read, and the author readily recognizes a personal bias, which is inherent in any "top 100"-type list. [T]he data set Smith created with his post-show blogging gives readers insight into concert experiences that could not otherwise be accessed. The book is a solid addition to the "For the Record: Lexington Studies in Rock and Popular Music" series. Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals; general readers." -- Choice Reviews "The live rock concert is where Peter Smith lived more than 2000 times, and we all know the live show is nonpareil. Every page of his inquisitive, careful assessments of his experiences gave me my own moments for better reflection on what makes or breaks the live performance. Long live the live concert!" --Scott Calhoun, Cedarville University.
