Abstract
The chapter ranges between the music that marked an era and the architectural spaces that witnessed this cultural revolution. We will discover that the musical performance is made not only by sound, but also by a deep study of one's own image and the occupied space. The musical landscape of a twenty-year period that has changed shape, appearance and thought will be considered; we will make a journey on the stages of the sixties and seventies, between pop culture and psychedelia, the artist centrality and his absence. We will analyse the space that some characters have occupied over the decades and how it has influenced their stylistic and musical choices. We will see how the cultural influence of those years marked the stylistic choices of some of the greatest world artists.
