A
high-energy, concert experience that salutes the most
important era of rock ’n’ roll. It’s
not a lookalike tribute, not a cover act, but a living,
breathing salute to the Rolling Stones and the legendary
peers who rose alongside them. It tells the story
of how scrappy little bands from London became “The
World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Bands”
— and how their contemporaries fought, influenced,
and inspired them.
Through
the British Invasion, the psychedelic revolution,
and the dawn of stadium rock. Every transition is
tied together with banter, history, and stagecraft
that make it more than music. It’s rock theatre.These
charming invaders had borrowed (often literally) American
rock music and returned it—restyled and refreshed—to
a generation largely ignorant of its historical and
racial origins. In April 1966 Time magazine effectively
raised the white flag with a cover story on “London:
The Swinging City.” Peace quickly followed;
by the pivotal year 1967 a proliferation of English
and American bands were equal partners in one international
rock culture.
