The Who's Quadrophenia . Led Zeppelin's Houses of the Holy . Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies . These three marathon tours were the most ambitious of these artists' careers, and they would forever change everything that came after- the money, the business, the performances, the privileges, and the excess. Rock gods-and their entourages-were born. Tour buses became jets; theaters became arenas; shows became spectacles. As the naive counter-culturalism of the '60s morphed into the '70s, an altogether more cynical era took hold- peace, love, and understanding devolved into sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Acclaimed journalist Michael Walker catches the spirit of the times, gets the best stories, and crystallizes a defining moment for the culture that ushered in the modern era of rock superstardom. Story Locale- New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and other U.S. tour cities
