A Grand Madness

Více o knize

A Grand Madness, Ten Years on the Road with U2 is an uncompromising account which captures the essence of the Irish rock band U2 as only a fan can. From the spirit of their 1987 Joshua Tree tour to the flamboyance of Popmart in 1997, we travel with the author, sharing her experiences, the countries she visits, and the people she meets along the way. Through thirty-eight concerts in twenty cities over ten years, Beeaff gives readers front-row-seat insights into what it's like to be a fan, an experience familiar to almost all of us. Not just a dry rehash of set-lists and concert trivia, Beeaff's account presents an icon of contemporary culture with warmth, intelligence and humor. Compuserve's U2 Forum Co-Section Leader Michelle Perez writes that "this is a story about the impact music known inside out has on a life and about all the adventures along the way . . . written with a sense of exhilaration fans of anything (or anyone) can identify with."
