Sam Cutler was tour manager for the Rolling Stones at some of their major gigs
in the late sixties, including the infamous concert at Altamont where a man
was murdered by a Hells Angel in front of the stage while the Stones played
on. After the show, Sam was left behind to make peace with the Hells Angels,
the various mobsters and organizations who had taken an overt interest in the
event, and the people of America. There has never been an official
investigation into events at Altamont and those involved have never before
spoken on record. Sam Cutler has decided that it is time to put to rest the
myths and legends that have grown up around this infamous event in rock
history and for the first time reveal the truth. Sam survived Altamont and
went on to live the ultimate rock and roll dream. This is also his own account
of the high ol' times he had managing tours for San Francisco band the
Grateful Dead - who went on to become the world's most successful live act.
Along the way Sam draws intimate portraits of other stars of the psychedelic
circus that was the music industry in the sixties and seventies, including
Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Band, the Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, and
Eric Clapton. This is an exhilarating, all-areas-access rock memoir from
someone who has seen - and done - it all.
