In Led Zeppelin Crashed Here: The Rock and Roll Landmarks of North America, pop culture historian Chris Epting takes you on a journey across North America to the exact locations where rock and roll history was made. Epting has compiled nearly 600 rock and roll landmarks, combining historical information with trivia, photos, and backstage lore, all with the enthusiasm of a true rock and roll devotee. No other book delivers such an extensive list of rock and roll landmarks--from beginnings (the site where Elvis got his first guitar), to endings (the hotel where Janis Joplin died), and everything in between.

And, of course, you'll learn all about the infamous "Riot House" on the Sunset Strip where Led Zeppelin "crashed."
