Publisher Description
'Stanley Booth's book is the only one I can read and say, "Yeah, That's how it was"' KEITH RICHARDS
'An epic, behind-the-scenes record of life with the greatest rock band in the world' Observer
The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones is the greatest book about the greatest rock 'n' roll band in history. It is also one of the most important books about the 1960s, capturing its uneasy mix of excess, violence and idealism in a way no other book does.
Stanley Booth was with the Rolling Stones on their 1969 U.S. tour, which culminated in the notorious free concert at Altamont where a fan was murdered. Taking nearly fifteen years to write, The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones has emerged as 'the one authentic masterpiece of rock 'n' roll writing'.
Customer Reviews
The True adventures of the Rolling Stones
I read this years ago in paperback and have read many Music biographies and auto biographies. Stanley Booth is an accomplished writer and spins a great tale even though the facts are well known. I am from the old school where literary merit rates higher than subject matter. I am glad I now have it digital form. The only better "Stones" story is " Life" by Keith Richards.
