| The video "The Rock Bottom Remainders" is a live recording of the first performance of this band of writers. Some of the experience while touring the America with The Rock Bottom Remainders was described in the hardcover book "Mid-Life Confidential" which was first published by Viking in August 1994. The chapter of the book written by Stephen King is titled "The Neighbourhood Of The Beast".
The Rock Bottom Remainders are a rock & roll band that consist of mostly popular book, magazine, and newspaper authors. It all happened on May 25, 1992 at a place called Cowboy Boogie in Anaheim, California. A bunch of bestselling authors took the stage for a charity concert and performed rock 'n' roll classics for an audience from the literary community. Filmed live, the Rock Bottom Remainders video brings this chapter of literary and musical history home. The band still performs occasionally today!
