Product Description
The Stones' previous U.S. tour was a crazy chaotic circus that culminated with the murder of a fan by Hells Angels at the infamous Altamont racetrack. Now they were going back to America to play more shows in bigger arenas with a far larger entourage and even more drugs. Robert Greenfield's book is the riveting insider's account of this tour. Features a new foreword by prize-winning, bestselling crime novelist, Ian Rankin. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: Classic!, December 8, 1999 By  T. McCool "old married guy" (Lafayette, IN United States) - See all my reviews    I purchased and read this book when it was first published in the 1970s. It is a no-holds barred account of a rock band at its creative and decadent zenith during the legendary 1972 tour of America. Greenfield intersperses his blow-by-blow description of life on the road with vignettes of the interesting and off-beat fans and groupies that swirl around the vortex of the world's greatest rock and roll band. Particularly interesting is the drama surrounding the arrest of Keith Richards at a Boston airport prior to a concert, the scramble to get him out of jail thanks to the intervention of the mayor of Boston, and Keith's triumphant return to the stage. This is a Stones legend and this book tells it like you are there. Well-written and informative, I think I may just re-read this classic for the Nth time. A must for any Stones fan's bookshelf.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   One of the Best Books about Sex and Drugs and Rock'n'Roll, September 17, 2002 By
