S.t.p.: A Journey Through America With The Rolling Stones by Robert Greenfield (2002-09-03) Paperback – 1 Jan. 1782

I strongly recommend this book to anyone curious/enchanted about the rock n roll lifestyle and the sheer charisma of the Stones. But why is this tour still undocumented on CD? I once heard a barnstorming version of 'Happy' from this tour on a TV documentary and I've been salivating ever since: it made the album version sound like the Spinners.

Very well written account of the Stones 1972 American tour.The immediacy and the characters jump out at you.In my humble opinion a never matched tour de force.

LooksLike a great read

Absolutely fabulous book. One of the best insights into not only The Stones, but also life on the road with a big name artist. Greenfield has the brilliant ability of being able to make you feel as if you are there. While I admit that he wanders off into "waxing lyrically" at times, it is such an enthralling read that needs only the occasion skip over a paragraph. Definitely one of my favourite Rock reads ever.

I ever saw a rock show was the afternoon matinee at the Spectrum (RIP) in Philly. I was instantly helplessly hopelessly hooked on live music. I guess I had hoped there would be some revelation in here but I got it as no big deal. It was to me. The book is ok but the movie is better. Co@$sucker Blues.

Reissued chronicle of one journalist's experience hanging out with the Rolling Stones during their '72 USA tour. 45 years later it remains a fascinating read.
