Known to most only as the place where punk legends Green Day, Operation Ivy, and Rancid were spawned, and home of the "East Bay" sound, there's actually a lot more that's impressive about Gilman Street. This is a thorough, well-illustrated (over 200 b&w photos) account of the first 17 years of the all-ages, volunteer-run punk club in Berkeley, as told by those who actually worked there, went there, and played there. Heartfelt and inspiring, these stories, anecdotes, complaints, exultations, analyses, and reminisces truly capture the huge impact the club has had.
