Abstract
Behind the glitz and glamour of the stage, the larger-than-life rock stars,and the pulsating music itself, there's a machine of agents, managers,
roadies, accountants, and egos that make up every successful concert.
Behind the scenes there's also the promoter trying to keep this machine running at all costs. In Hard Days Hard Nights, Pat DiCesare shares first-hand accounts behind bringing the biggest rock and pop concerts to Pittsburgh during his 37-year career as a promoter, many of those in partnership with Rich Engler.
