This book is so comprehensive with detail, it makes me feel like I'm there.
Bravo, Erwin!

Looking forward to it! How long did it take to arrive for you? Mine shows it arrived Chicago a week ago and hasn’t moved since. It is media mail?

Mine sat with customs for nearly four weeks

It took a couple weeks to arrive to Chicago.

ha, guess he should check for coffee stains on his copy

Got some questions about overseas shipping.
Destinations outside EU are mailed out as a gift with low value mentioned. To avoid duties and/or VAT charges. Up till now all manuscripts have arrived. But it can take a while.
I'll try to keep track on all deliveries till I get confirmation from the receivers.
Hope all clear.

My copy arrived yesterday, and the book shows amazing attention to detail. Just started getting into it.

Bravo Erwin on what certainly appears to be a job well done!

Regarding the tapes mentioned in the "My Life As a RS", here are two screenshots.

Update on mine from yesterday.. It had arrived Chicago on Aug 29th, thought it was in customs all this time but it had actually cleared and kept going in circles because of scanning machines (or something like that).. I've been reaching out to USPS and yesterday a postal employee confirmed they found the actual package (still in Illinois) and are hand processing it now, so hopefully soon

Received my copy of Erwin's book and cannot put it down. What a great read, it has details of every aspect of this great tour. Many, many photos that I have never seen. The data for each concert and the boots that have been released for each show is almost overwhelming. I am so glad that I invested in this great effort, and would recommend to all. This book will keep me busy for quite some time, and I will be using it as an 1972 tour reference. Thank you Erwin!!!

As I stated to Erwin, I still cannot believe that the "Madison" show was not stolen from the soundboard as that information was all that had been related. Hope they let this one out someday.

Again, Thank you.

If these tapes contains whole shows, we know for sertain that there are at least 10 concerts from the 1970 European tour in the vault. If so there could be even more from the 1972 American tour

Unfortunately, one of the 1972 shows is listed as june 24 , 1972, which is the source of partof the L&G soundtrack. The other three boxes may only be the Houston and other Ft Worth shows

this may not be all the tapes



i hope

got my book today

it's fantastic

cleary written by a crazy stones freak for other crazy stones freaks

the amount of detail and photos is overwhelming

every single show gets a chapter loaded with photos and info including on the best boots and history of the recordings and some of those that made them

for those starting out collecting the 72 boots get this first it'll be a great resource for collecting and a wonderful thing to read while listening to them

as for the physical book itself for those who have read "the rolling stones - the first twenty years" it visually reminds me of that very much though with better quality paper and binding this book will take a beating it's made to last

this was a really great idea and i hope somebody does something similar for the 73 tours and other tours as well

A+
a great deal! thanks

i hope

Well, even if they only have here the 4 Texas shows from which L&G was compiled from, having all 4 complete shows with better sound than L&G would be great

your welcome

Connection made...Thank you Erwin & Professor....

It’s in my hands today! After watching it bounce between Illinois, Alabama, and Florida for 6 weeks due to a bad barcode I was told, someone finally reached into the automated mess and pulled it out.

It is everything I have heard. Looks fantastic, very excited to dig into it.

Also Erwin was very responsive every step of the shipping issues, thank you!!

I received my copy yesterday and have been buried in it ever since. The '72 Tour--in my opinion-- is the Stones at the top of their game. This collection is an abundance of information on that topic that every Stones fan will appreciate seeing compiled in one place. I think Erwin deserves credit for what he's done as a fan, and what he's done for his fellow fans. Fantastic job.

BTW--After reading some of the posts here I had some concern how long it would take to get it. It took just over two weeks after I contacted Erwin and ordered it--shipped from The Netherlands to California--to arrive, and it was in perfect shape.

A very enjoyable read. Thanks Erwin

So damn good .... ordered a second copy ....

Bootleg knowledge will have ya reelin' ....

Round of applause to you Erwin

stay safe

I received the book months ago and am still amazed with it. Compelling stuff really. Magical.
