Stanley Booth, a member of the Rolling Stones’ inner circle, met the band just a few months before Brian Jones drowned in a swimming pool, in 1969. He lived with them throughout their 1969 American tour, staying up all night together listening to blues, talking about music, ingesting drugs, and consorting with groupies. His thrilling account culminates with their final concert at Altamont Speedway - a nightmare of beating, stabbing, and killing that would signal the end of a generation’s dreams of peace and freedom. But while this book renders in fine detail the entire history of the Stones, paying special attention to the tragedy of Brian Jones, it is about much more than a writer and a rock band. It has been called - by Harold Brodkey and Robert Stone, among others - the best book ever written about the '60s. In a new afterword, Booth explains why this book took 15 years to write - an astonishing story of drugs, jails, and disasters.

The rolling stones are one of the best rock bands to ever exist, this is a great read.

All hail the stones.

The book is a time machine to a tome not unlike our own. Political turmoil, clashing values, and cultural angst has a soundtrack.

Time Machine

Sullivan reading brings the individual characters to life, particularly Mick and Keith. Highly recommend this audiobook if you're at all interested in the early Stones (through Altamont).

Superlative rendering of a singular story.

If Stanley Booth would have left himself out of the book and just told the story this book would have been alright.

Could have been good

Great story, great performance. Will probably listen to again. Very impressed, a book you can’t stop listening to.

Hands down the best performance I’ve listened to.

The book is not nealry as interesting as I'd hoped. The narrator sounds out of place at first but he grows on you and he does a good job with the accents. It really is just a long book with very little of anything actually happening. I think a person who is a big Stones fan may enjoy it more.

The book is meh

To those who fall into the standard twaddle that Stanley inserts himself too much into the saga, Booth is a KEY element and is appropriately present. It’s his first person account and to think that he should extricate himself is silly. He’s the swizzle stick that stirs the cocktail.

Awesome

I liked hearing the up close and personal stories of the Stones and they're crew but a lot of it was just kind of boring in a sense. Booth jumps back and forth a lot between time periods which was aggravating! one minute he was talking about the show in Oakland and then he was talking about Brian Jones in 67. I was like huh? He did that throughout the whole book. He did give some good insight to all the shows on the 69 tour and even the recording sessions for let it bleed and sticky fingers but all that extra detail bored me. Glad I listened to this though. I have a huge amount of respect for Stanley Booth and his work with the Stones.

good but kinda long

Did not enjoy the authors style and almost stopped listening after about 30 minutes. While I never warmed up much to the author I did greatly enjoy the audiobook. So if you do buy the book or the audiobook give it a chance. While you may be annoyed early on it will be worth it to stick it out.

Overall - Very Entertaining

Very much enjoy the day to day details, but the casual racism and sexism is seriously annoying. This book also needed a much more attentive editor. The narrator/author often comes off as juvenile and a Kerouac wannabe. So many pointless and distracting and apparently unexamined subjective impressions. Finally, the narrator of this audio version truly sucks. His women sound like Monty Python caricatures and his “black” voice is just amateurish and off.

Hard to get through the racism and sexism
