Iain Robertson Oasis What's The Story? Paperback Music Book 2016
Oasis were a band like bands used to be. Hard-drinking and substance abusing. If they liked you, they loved you. If they didn't, you had to be prepared for confrontation. They were also the most viscerally exciting rock band to emerge from Britain for years. Iain Robertson is used to tough jobs - after retiring from the Parachute Regiment, he took on jobs guarding George Harrison, Gary Moore and Johnny Rotten. But keeping Oasis on the rails after debut album Definitely Maybe ignited their rise toward global superstardom would be the toughest gig of them all. Iain was side-by-side with Oasis as their road manager and minder, twenty-four hours a day, eight days a week, as they took on the world and won. No one was closer to the maelstrom. His story is the defining chronicle of life on tour with Oasis. A brilliant biography that all Oasis fans will love to read.This is the legendary Live and Loud concert, recorded live at Pier 48 in Seattle, WA on December 13, 1993. Featuring the trio of Kurt, Dave, and Krist, augmented by guitarist Pat Smear (Germs, Foo Fighters), this is Nirvana at its absolute finest; loud, aggressive, claustrophobic, and downright transcendental. One of the greatest live performances of a quintessential group.
