The Manuscript
The Rolling Stones Set Lists
'It could be somebody coming in at the wrong moment, or forgetting the arrangement and suddenly going to the middle eight, when you can see Keith mouthing, "What the hell is he doing?" It's all part of what keeps the band vibrant.' - Ronnie Wood
Featuring an introduction by Mick Jagger, in an original 198-page manuscript Ronnie Wood offers a glimpse behind the scenes of one of the most famous rock groups in the world.
Ronnie Wood's personal reflections bring the story of the set lists to life as he discusses the band's creative process, learning up to 80 songs per tour; personal highlights, such as Valentine's Day 2014, when a small group of fans were invited into rehearsals; collaborations with fellow musicians such as The Black Keys, Eric Clapton, Florence Welch and Jeff Beck; and the band's various reunions with former Rolling Stones Bill Wyman and Mick Taylor.
In addition to Ronnie's quotes, extended captions analyse each set list in depth, examining the significance of certain songs and their place within the Rolling Stones' history. Nearly 150 photographs and items of memorabilia provide additional context.
'With its behind-the-scenes revelations, concert photos and endearing doodles, The Rolling Stones Set Lists has the feel of a diary.' - CNN Style
