Sounding like one instrument a wild whirling bagpipe the Stones chugged to a halt. But the crowd didnt stop we could see Hells Angels spinning like madmen swinging at people. By stage right a tall white boy with a black cloud of electric hair was dancing shaking infuriating the Angels by having too good a time. The True Adventures of the Rolling Stones is not just the greatest book about the greatest rock n roll band it is one of the most important books about the 1960s capturing its zeitgeist
- that uneasy mix of excess violence & 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. But this book is much more than a brilliant piece of journalism. It gives a history of the Rolling Stones from their early rhythm n blues days in west London clubs to the end of the 1960s; & it interweaves with mastery the two tragic stories of the decline & death of Brian Jones & the terrifying Altamont concert itself where the Hells Angels supposedly providing security ran amok & murdered a member of the audience. Although it took nearly fifteen years to write the book that emerged has been rightly acclaimed as the one authentic masterpiece of rock n writing.
