Book Reviews


Best book on The Stones ever! And I've read most of them in the past twenty years. It's a classy book and written so you feel like you're there. The author has known them since the Sixties and was their tour manager for five years, traveling around the world with them and bearing 'round the clock responsibility. His story of Altamont and what really happened there and why is the most accurate one you'll ever read but that's just a small part of this book where the reader feels like he or she is in the dressing room or keeping Keith and Bobby Keys out of jail when they're blitzed on drugs and booze or in the studio when the band are recording. What surprised me was that Ron Schneider is a wonderful writer...one who makes the reader feel you're there with him and Mick, Keith, Bill, Charlie and Brian Jones (and eventually Mick Taylor, that often superb guitarist,) dressing room...on the bus, the train, the plane, the limousine or...that YOU are the THE one being searched by the cops. By Sharon Lawrence (Author of Jimi Hendrix)

Aptly titled, the book, to say the least, is an excellent insight into the music scene of the late 60s to the 70s, its ups and downs and the pains and pleasures. Ron managed the Beatles for ABKCO, his legendary uncle Allen Klein's company for many years and independently managed the Rolling Stones till the 70s. In 5 decades of my readings, I have rarely come across a book that is so well researched and documented - a must read for the fans as also everyone interested in the entertainment industry. By Gazza

The book contains lots of content we've not read before, nor seen before. Some are photos; many are archival documents and other artifacts. Half the book is Ron's stories, memories, and anecdotes. The other half is called "Proof of Truth" -- i.e., Appendices; this latter part is sort of like a scrapbook. This is a book that will be cited often, starting pretty immediately and extending into the future for a very long time as original "primary source" material by those documenting the Stones. It will also be useful and noteworthy to those looking at the bands, events, people, culture of the times (particularly the 1969 Stones tour time period, but also the 1965 and 1966 Stones tours--as well as some interesting glimpses into Japanese Spaghetti Western film making).
Additionally, there are some very fine never-heard Beatles stories and insights into the band at a time when they were transitioning management and their organization from Brian Epstein to Allen Klein, by way of Eastman.

In my opinion, it is a remarkable collection of both stories and artifacts that allows people to experience exactly what it was like to live and work through one of the most tumultuous artistic periods in modern history, alongside some of the most iconic musicians the world has known. Chris Epting, Huffington Post Contributor Author and award-winning journalist
Setting out to write a book on the Rolling Stones or The Beatles is no easy feat--what is there still left to say? Not much, unless you were there with the Stones and The Beatles on the road and in the studio and saw from the inside how these two legendary bands functioned. The author, Ronnie Schneider, is the nephew of Allen Klein: the man who kept the books for both the Stones and The Beatles and the person who would ultimately managing both bands. Schneider started out by working in Klein’s accounting office and eventually worked up to the point where he was overseeing the Stones on tour. This is an amazing story and provides a lot of insight and secrets you never knew about Mick Jagger and Keith Richards and Paul McCartney and John Lennon. Schneider talks about life on the road, in the hotels, onstage, and much more. There is a fascinating account of the Stones free show in Altamont and the ensuing debacle that followed

Ron has a perspective of the Stones that hasn't been documented yet. His take on Altamont and Gimme Shelter are distinctly his, and keen readers will find the many details fascinating. Susan Doran-Rolling Stones Fan
If you think you’ve read everything there is to know about the Stones and The Beatles, you haven’t--not until you’ve read this one. By Curled Up With A Good Book.com: Steven Rosen
