5.0 out of 5 stars can you take this crazy ride?, 18 Sep 2001
This review is from: A Journey Through America with the "Rolling Stones" (Paperback)
as the other reviewer says: augment this with sanchez's book and you'll have all the sleaze on the stones you could ever want or handle. this is the text version (or the unedited version if you like) of the famous unreleased 1972 robert frank tour movie "c**ksu**er blues". if you have seen the movie.. the book is better! the camera caught some crazy moments (nude girls on planes anyone?) .. but this goes where even the camera didn't. its not all sex and drugs though, there's plenty of rocknroll too. Events are also viewed from the perspective of those in charge of keeping this crazy tour rolling on, whilst the stones and their equally deranged entourage manage so many rocknroll exploits in the period of only a few months, that you wont be able to put this down. this is not really a history of the stones.... if you're after that then this isn't the tome for you, but its a detailed snapshot of one wild tour.. and it was he best stones tour ever, musically. reading this one can only wonder how?! fond moments of mine include the on-tour doctor dishing out his suplies to keith and keith's personal entourage.. and a confused sounding mick taylor finding himself the object of some seasoned groupies' lust. all the stories are here.. want the viewpoint of one of those girls on the plane? how about cynthia's ... the stones most dedicated fan? all the peripheral characters really give this book a sense of putting you right back there in the middle of the stones american 1972 tour. and its a crazy ride... even though its got no pictures i'll still give it 5 stars.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Close-up View Of The 1972 Tour!, 11 Nov 2000
By A Customer
Robert Greenfield offers tantalizing glimpses into the day-to-day events of the Rolling Stones' 1972 Tour of North America. The '72 tour was the biggest road show the rock world had yet seen, 32 cities, 54 performances. The PR firm of Gibson and Stromberg whipped up America's newspapers and news magazines into a frenzy, giving the Stones hither-to unprecedented coverage by the "straight" as well as the "underground" media. Even Dick Cavett got into the picture, schlepping his white Anglo-Saxon bad self down to Madison Square Garden to inverview Mick and film two numbers from the second of four concerts that ended the tour. Mick treats Dick w/the vintage contempt that the English are infamous for when dealing w/moronic Yanks. If one takes the time to read between the lines it's obvious that the band was at their peak, performance-wise. One rather humourous aside is the "push" to release Mick Jagger & Keith Richards from a Warwick, RI jail in time to play the Boston Garden on 18th July. Whilst "the show must go on" was certainly on the minds of some, getting Keith out of jail before herion withdrawl set in was definitely on the minds of others! This book is well-worth the money, especially if you're a student of the history of The Rolling Stones. Augment this title w/"Up And Down With The Rolling Stones", by Tony Sanchez and you'll have a clear picture of the Stones in the early to mid-70's.

2.0 out of 5 stars dont be fooled!!!, 3 Sep 2003
By gazza (chatham, kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Journey Through America with the "Rolling Stones" (Paperback)
it doesnt do exactly what it says on the cover,
it doesnt give an indepth account of what the boys really got up to, it touches on the events, but doesnt supply the real dirt about the stones. dont be fooled by the cover, if you want in depth accounts on the stones eg the drugs they took, the women they slept with keiths fascination with knives and guns, then buy tony sanchezs book titled "i was keith richards drug dealer" dont purchase this book because the author tends to pay more attention to setting the scene of a city rather than what you want to read about which is what they actually got up to, no other group matters except hearing about what the stones did , not about any other band, thase parts were irrellevant
