First Avenue: Minnesota’s Mainroom [book]

Tim Shultis — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 20:15:47 +0000

Where Prince and Minnesota made rock ’n’ roll history—a glorious look back at one of rock’s most storied clubs and the thousands of musicians who took the stage there.

Author: Chris Riemenschneider

Hardcover | 264 pages

320 color and 100 b&w photos

Minnesota Historical Society Press

Released: October 15, 2017

One of the longest running clubs in American rock ’n’ roll, First Avenue in Minneapolis finally gets the rock-star treatment it deserves in print. This book chronicles the club’s storied past, beginning with its impressive inaugural show in April 1970 (Joe Cocker’s “Mad Dogs & Englishmen” tour) and through its oft-maligned disco era of the late 1970s. In the 1980s, it earned global attention as the hub of Prince’s Purple Rain and the incubator for widely revered, wild-eyed indie-rock locals such as the Replacements, Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum, and Babes in Toyland. The Ramones and R.E.M., Chrissie Hynde and Lauryn Hill, Wilco and the Wu-Tang Clan, and hundreds more played the hallowed halls of First Avenue and 7th Street Entry, and all are immortalized in this volume.

First Avenue survived corporate competitors, bankruptcy, and a bitter ownership battle to become one of the most successful independent clubs in the country and ground zero to Minneapolis’s thriving community of hip-hop and indie-rock acts. Amidst all that history, the book is interlaced with anecdotes, quotes, and occasionally cloudy memories from musicians, employees, and regulars—many of whom are as unique as the club itself. Chock full of concert photos and memorabilia collected from professional photographers and average fans alike, the book is a lavish celebration of a rock ’n’ roll landmark.
