S.T.P.: A Journey Through America with the Rolling Stones

"One of the greatest rock books ever written." -- GQ

In 1972, the Rolling Stones embarked on their most legendary American tour, bringing Exile on Main Street to arenas across the nation. Robert Greenfield, former Associate Editor of Rolling Stone magazine's London bureau, documented this historic Stones Touring Party from the inside, creating what Ian Rankin called "one of the greatest rock books ever written."

Following the chaos of Altamont, the music world watched anxiously as the Stones returned to America. The 1972 tour exceeded all expectations: major arena shows, an extensive entourage, and unprecedented access to rock 'n' roll's most iconic band at the height of their power. Greenfield's firsthand account captures the complete experience—from Lee Radziwill and Truman Capote at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion to county jail encounters—delivering an unfiltered view of the ultimate rock 'n' roll circus.

This paperback edition from Da Capo Press marks the thirtieth anniversary of the original publication. The book has been republished multiple times in both England and America, cementing its status as essential reading for music historians and Rolling Stones enthusiasts.
