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. Sam survived Altamont and went on to live the ultimate rock and roll dream. This is an exhilarating, all-areas-access rock memoir from someone who has seen and done it all.. 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. There has never been an official investigation into events at Altamont and those involved have never before spoken on record. After the show, Sam was left behind to make peace with the Hells Angels, the various mobste

Interesting Perspective of Two Historic Bands and Altamont I was informally introduced to Sam Cutler many, many years ago when I was in the process of wearing out my vinyl copy of the Rolling Stone's live album "Get Your Ya Yas Out" he's the guy that introduces the Stones as "the Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World" prior to the distinguishable opening chords of "Jumping Jack Flash". I never thought much about the actual person making that proclamation until I saw the movie "Gimme Shelter" and realized the subtle, but prominent, role the man played during that remarkable 1969 Rolling Stones Tour and more impo. Rock Noir At Its Most Gripping "You Can't Always Get What You Want" is a gripping rock 'n' roll saga which should appeal to anyone who is intrigued by authentic 'I was there' memoirs. Sam Cutler's book is not your usual press clippings cut and paste job from a rock journalist, aged groupie or a sycophantic fan. It's the Real Thing, lucidly and well written from a Napoleon styled tour manager's point of view.Cutler's tome doesn't solely focus on his role of tour manager, but starts prior to his career in rock 'n' roll, when he was illegitimately born in a stately home in Hertfordshire dur
