Product Description

Finally, a long overdue return to print for the ultimate groupie memoir: the definitive story of sex and rock ‘n’ roll.
From the day she peeked at Paul McCartney through the windows of a Bel Air mansion, Pamela was hooked. Graduating high school, she headed for the sunset strip and rock and roll. Over the next ten years, she dallied with Mick Jagger, turned down a date with Elvis Presley, had affairs with Keith Moon and Noel Redding hung out with Jim Morrison, and travelled with Led Zeppelin as Jimmy Page’s girlfriend - he had "dark chilling powers" and kept whips in his suitcase. She hung out with Cynthia Plastercaster, formed the all-girl group the G.T.O.s, and was best friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies and Frank Zappa.
I’m With The Band is a vivid depiction of the rock and roll lifestyle, told with style by one of the warmest and wittiest women ever to kiss and tell.
"Free love was short-lived and it’s a shame … The fascination with that experimental, freewheeling time only grows stronger. Pretty soon those trailblazers - Morrison, Hendrix, Zappa, Gram Parsons, Keith Moon and yummy, young Jagger will be mythologized and made more than human. I hope I brought some warm flesh and blood to the myth, dolls, before it’s too late. I wanted to take you there with me, let you feel the blissed-out alchemy in the air, because I was fortunate enough to romp through the modern musical renaissance and live to tell the tale." Pamela Des Barres, from her new epilogue
"Miss Pamela, the most beautiful and famous of the groupies. Her memoir of her life with rock stars is funny, bittersweet, and tender-hearted."

Stephen Davis, author of Hammer of the Gods
