[Machine Translation] The bond with Eric Clapton, the unexpected side of Bob Dylan, the behind-the-scenes look at the first landing of KISS, the true face of Bon Jovi - the legends and vast history of Western rock music that only those involved can reveal are condensed into one book! For more than half a century since its establishment in 1967, Udo Music Office has led the concert business in Japan by inviting overseas artists. This book looks back on the golden age of Western rock music, which was built up with the visits to Japan of Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, KISS, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and many other bands, while also highlighting the efforts made behind the scenes. This definitive edition chronicles the history and evolution of concert production, testimonies from those involved in the field, posters of the time, and more, covering the history of rock music from multiple perspectives. While evoking the passionate feelings of youth, "We were there at that time," this is a book that makes one wish for the day when "live performances by overseas artists," lost due to the pandemic, will return as soon as possible.
