Lighters in the Sky

Each concert narrative is written in the present-tense and makes readers feel as if they are there at the show, experiencing the excitement as it happens. Music lovers will enjoy reliving fond memories and learning about shows they'll wish they could've been at.
Photos, album covers, and ephemera help bring the artists and the concerts to life.
This is likely the first book looking at the best concerts, after numerous popular books about best songs and albums.
The scope of artists and genres is vast, meaning there's something for music lovers of all stripes. There are dozens of music legends?including James Brown, Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Prince, Michael Jackson, Queen, Madonna, Nirvana, Green Day, Jay-Z, Beyonc�, and Kanye West. There's plenty of classic rock and rap, in addition to pop, soul, blues, folk, funk, metal, punk, grunge, country, and EDM.
Each chapter includes an “Honorable Mention” concert, extending the book's scope to even more artists and genres.
Author Corbin Reiff thoughtfully considers future stars on the way up, music icons at their prime, and festivals with stacked bills.
Reiff is the deputy music editor of Uproxx. He has written for Rolling Stone, Spin, Pitchfork, and more.
