The Flying Machine is the original story of the premier rock and roll club located near Akron, Ohio, the birthplace of rock music. The book chronicles the history and story of one venue and highlights the development of live rock music during the 1960s and 1970s, first as the Draught House and then the Flying Machine. The venue showcased many of the greatest rock stars early in their careers. Many of the artists found their way into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, and reached national acclaim. Original photos include Michael Stanley Band, Cheap Trick, Joan Jett and the Runaways, the Ramones, Steppenwolf, Artful Dodger, the Godz, Southside Johnny, Easy Street, Rick Derringer, and many others. The authors carefully photographed many performances, and David Mucklow artfully tells the story so that readers will remember the good times that occurred there, which will forever be remembered and may be revisited through this book.
