LIVE! Why We Go Out ROBERT ELMS

A ringside seat celebration of gig culture and live music by BBC Radio London’s Robert Elms

In 1972 when Robert Elms was 13 years old, he saw The Jackson 5 play live. At some point during the performance, he describes experiencing three minutes of ‘divine delirium’. Unbeknown to him then, this would set him off on a life-long pursuit for that same height of pleasure.

Live! is a memoir of a life lived through live music from pub rock to jazz funk, punk to country. Whether it’s a swooping bass or an unexpected cacophony midset, his anecdotes are immersive and fused with a nostalgia that proves why music really matters, and that there can never be anything quite like the live experience.
