Description

The hands-down best biography of Led Zeppelin ever written. Richard Cole was Led Zeppelin's road manager for 12 years and gives a down-&-dirty, no-holds-barred account of living with the band. Whether onstage, on the road, at home or in luxurious hotels, no one was closer to the band than Cole. He was there when they burst onto the music scene, built momentum, cut multi-platinum records and transformed popular music. The ultimate insider, he recounts the best and the worst of the times they had together, and weaves a tale that will enthral any Led Zeppelin fan for years to come. This edition contains a new afterword and new, never-before-seen photos of the band on- and offstage.
