Overview
What happened when the Smithsonian asked music fans to submit their unseen, personal photographs of iconic rock artists from concerts and candid moments? They became a 216-page coffee table book edited by music writer and publicist Bill Bentley. In this discussion, Bentley presents “Smithsonian Rock and Roll: Live and Unseen,” a broad visual history of rock ‘n’ roll music that features hundreds of rare, often unreleased photographs focusing on the intimate perspective of the audience. Highlighting performances from venues like Woodstock to the Whisky a Go Go, this collectors’ book showcases a wide range of artists: from Run-D.M.C. and Metallica to legends including Chuck Berry, The Who, Nirvana and Bruce Springsteen.
