[Ed · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful retrospective of Washington-DC's legendary music venue, one of the best nightclub music venues in the world. This book is a work of art, lovingly compiled by Roger Gastman. It's informative without being dry and boring with lots of fun stories from the musicians who have performed on its stage and the staff who have worked there.
