The Rolling Stones: I Was There

<p>1972 saw the Rolling Stones perform on American soil for the first time since the stabbing of a fan by Hell's Angels at Altamont three years earlier. The Beatles having split up - and with Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison all dead - the Stones embodied what was<br />
left of Sixties counter culture. But they were close to broke and being impacted by drug use, and did America really want to see a band some thought incapable of functioning as a live act? Plus the United States was still coming to terms with 1970's Kent State massacre<br />
and grappling with the Vietnam War, the draft and the civil rights movement.\nSo it was that the Stones travelled coast-to-coast, playing 51 shows in 32 cities in 54 days to promote their latest album, Exile on Main St. With a groundbreaking new stage show and a setlist drawn mainly from their last four albums, demand for tickets was high and the tour a sell-out. But the Stones and their fans found themselves going head-to-head with the authorities from the outset. Concerts were marked by crowd riots in the clamour for tickets and there were drug busts and tear gassings thanks to over-zealous cops. And in Rhode Island, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards wound up in police custody while a full house in Boston was expecting them on stage.\nIn All Down the Line - A People's History of the Rolling Stones 1972 North American Tour, over 300 fans look back 50 years at the most infamous tour in rock 'n' roll history and remember every show, from opening night in Vancouver to the tour finale (and Mick<br />
Jagger's 29th birthday) at New York City's Madison Square Garden less than two months later. Ladies and gentlemen, the Rolling Stones.</p>

<p>Tell Everyone: A People's History of the Faces is the story of one of the world's most loved, most celebrated and most mourned rock and roll bands as seen through the eyes of over 500 fans. Forged from the shards of the Small Faces and the Jeff Beck Group, the Faces - Rod Stewart, Ronnie Wood, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones - stumbled bleary-eyed onto the gig circuit in 1969 and packed in more than 470 shows across the UK, North America, Australia, Japan and Europe, becoming one of the top-grossing live acts of the period. They split after their twelfth and final US tour in 1975, having consumed a lot of alcoholic beverages and produced some of the<br />
most memorable live performances of the decade, earning a reputation for bringing a party to town, both on stage and back at the hotel afterwards. Here is the Faces story told through over 500 previously unpublished first-hand accounts, from fans who still remember the backstage parties, the all-day rock and roll shows, the pub-style singalongs and the good time vibe that the band exuded every time they stepped on to a stage.</p>
