Synopsis
Sam Cutler was tour manager for the Rolling Stones at some of their major gigs in the late sixties, including the free Altamont, California concert at which a man was murdered by a Hell's Angel in front of the stage while the Stones played on. After the show, Sam was left behind to make peace with the Hell's Angels, the various mobsters and organisations who had taken an overt interest in the event, and the people of America. 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 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 rock memoir from someone who has seen - and done - it all.

Pictorial Wraps. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Floridly SIGNED in full & INSCRIBED by the author & The Rolling Stones TOUR MANAGER Sam Cutler in black marker on half-title page: "For Paul. Love smiles laughter music & madness - it's all in here!!! Enjoy! Sam Cutler". The florid inscription takes up the entire page. Cutler, the well-known tour manager of The Stones, is the author of this volume. "Sam Cutler (born in England, 1943) is best known as former tour manager for The Rolling Stones. In numerous magazine articles & books, Cutler has been casually demonized as an unwitting, yet primary, catalyst of the violence that took place at the 1969 Altamont Free Concert. Cutler worked as a Production Supervisor, Stage Manager & Master of Ceremonies on a series of 1960s gigs in the U.K. & Europe with different artists, including Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, & The Rolling Stones. In 1969, he co-ordinated & acted as Master of Ceremonies at The Rolling Stones concert in Hyde Park London featured in the film Stones in the Park. Following the Hyde Park show, Cutler was asked to be the personal tour manager to The Rolling Stones during their 1969 Tour of America, which culminated in the infamous Altamont Free Concert where a gang member who was brandishing a gun was stabbed to death in front of the stage. Cutler is commonly credited with first uttering The Rolling Stones' famous intro line - 'Ladies & Gentlemen, the Greatest Rock & Roll Band in the World - The Rolling Stones!'. Cutler can be seen in many scenes in the documentary film Gimme Shelter which covers the events of the 1969 American tour, & can be heard on The Rolling Stones live album Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out! introducing the band. He can also be seen in the film Festival Express & Stones in the Park. Throughout his rock & roll career, Cutler was responsible for organizing some of the largest rock & roll shows in history outside of Woodstock including The Rolling Stones in Hyde Park, the Grateful Dead's Europe '72 tour & the Dead's participation in the Festival Express train tour across Canada. During the infamous Altamont Concert, while The Rolling Stones were performing 'Under My Thumb', a young black man named Meredith Hunter became involved in an altercation with some Hells Angels & drew a long-barreled revolver. He was stabbed five times & kicked to death during The Rolling Stones' performance; the incident, which took place near the stage, was captured on film, where Cutler can be seen whispering to Mick Jagger & Keith Richards onstage, rushing towards the mortally wounded Meredith Hunter & returning to the stage to convince the band to retreat. The subsequent mess was blamed on The Rolling Stones, although nobody employed by The Rolling Stones was directly involved in organizing the Altamont gig until shortly before it was meant to happen. Sam Cutler arrived on the West Coast to help co-ordinate the event less than a week before it was staged. Following the concert, The Rolling Stones left for England, leaving Cutler behind to deal with the aftermath. Cutler was eventually called to testify in court proceedings relating to the matter some time later. Following the events at Altamont, Cutler stayed in the U.S. to deal with the aftermath, was befriended by Jerry Garcia, & subsequently hired by the Grateful Dead as their tour manager. He went on to become a co-manager of the band (with Jon McIntire & David Parker) & eventually became their agent." Illustrated with b&w photographs. Includes acknowledgements. Printed in Australia. Slight handling wear, otherwise a nice clean tight solid softcover copy. 295pp. RARE SIGNED COPY. Signed by Author(s). N° de réf. du vendeur 037002
