Book Description

Publication Date: 21 Jun 2012

With Chris Trengove and Peter Lawrence

In 1967 Peter 'Dougal' Butler became a roadie for The Who and their mercurial genius drummer Keith Moon. Soon he would be Moon's personal assistant, chauffeur, and all-purpose wingman. The ride lasted a tumultuous ten years, ending just prior to Moon's untimely death in 1978. Full Moon is Butler's memoir of that ride: essential reading for Who fans, and a masterclass in the mayhem caused by rock 'n' roll excess.

'The most candid insight into the Who star's life.' Daily Star

'Written in a wonderful fast, racy style, Runyonesque and full of good jokes.' Girl About Town

'A welcome change from the usual bland rock book reportage... Butler clearly has a deep and lasting affection for Moon.' Andy Gill, NME

'Certainly outrageous, sometimes funny, but mostly a sad account of life with a talented neurotic.' Daily Mirror

5.0 out of 5 stars Moon shots 8 Sep 2012
By Keith B. Altham
Format:Paperback
Fun book told in a vernacular that Moon would have approved of by his Minder, road manager, driver and part time psychiatrist Dougal Butler who knew him like a brother and oft times wished he did not. Moon never considered mortality but immortality and notoriety of this type he revelled in and would have probably died laughing if he could have read most of this. "Another brandy dear boy and do turn a page for me, so fatiguing have to read your own life story" Holiday chuckle. Go for it. Keith Altham ex-Who press agent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Long awaited re-release 21 Mar 2013
By Mr. Peter Marchant
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Ok, it's changed its name from Moon the Loon, but the book is the same. A new crisp edition now available for £40+ less than a second hand original. The dialogue is obviously dated, now, but it serves as a historical reminder of an age now past, as well as an introduction to the dialogue and tortured vernacular of that time, as well as being highly entertaining and slightly disturbing. The cover is bland, and the photos low-definition, but Peter "Dougal" Butler's insights into the not-so complex character of the World's most dynamicly entertaining rock drummer ever are priceless. Keith Moon was not equipped to live long, but we still miss him.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Gripping Read 28 Aug 2012
By Emilia Ratcliffe
Format:Paperback
I have to be honest I'm not much of a reader but when it comes to The Who and especially Keith Moon I simply had to make sure I read this. Very glad I did too, it's a very personal account of the hey day of the best drummer we've ever had and what he got up to. Very funny at times and also, quite sad how such a talented musician had such a crazy life. Peter 'Dougal' Butler was with Keith from 67 to 77 and so there's no better person to tell it like it was. You will be amazed at what they got up to and my hat goes off to Dougal for keeping Keith going for as long as 10 years! A must read if your: a) A Who Fan b) A rock & roll fan or c) interested in fascinating characters, period. Loved it and will definately read it again sometime. Oh, btw, nice to have a crisp new book in the form of this re-release as the originals are usually tatty from being read so much and, apart from that, hard to find. If you do the modern tech thing too, this is on kindle (Full Moon: The Amazing Rock and Roll Life of Keith Moon) or audio book, so no excuses!
