About this book

In this new study, David Pattie examines the apparent contradiction between authenticity and theatricality in the live performance of rock music, and looks at the way in which various performers have dealt with this paradox from rock music's early development in the 1960s up to the present day.

Reviews

'Rock Music in Performance is an engaging and thought-provoking book that should appeal to scholars in a number of disciplines. David Pattie shows careful consideration of popular music theory and a clear command of much popular music history.' - Timothy J. Dowd, Boekman
