The book with a 4.4 star review on Amazon just got even better - welcome to the updated and expanded 2025 edition of TEN RULES OF THE ROAD I LEARNED AT MY FIRST CONCERT: AN ORDINARY GUY'S LIFETIME OF LIVE ROCK & ROLL!This new edition adds over 250 pages of brand new contentincluding:
- updates elements to every section of the book – the rules, the essays, the concert summaries, and the statistics.
- more tales from my 20th century concert adventures that I dredged out of my memory that didn't make the first edition
- details of all the shows I’ve attended since 2021, after the first edition was published, until today
- complete re-writes of Rules #2, #5, #6, #7, # 8 and #10, as well as the Grateful Dead essay, have been almost completely re-written.
- consolidating the Song Selection essays from three to two but adding more songs to each remaining chapter in the process, doubling the number of tunes covered from 40 to 80.
- replacing the discarded song essay, with a new one about the relationship between rock & roll and Broadway, a unique pairing that only really came into focus for me in the last year or so.
- adding numerous new charts/tables to the statistics section
- quadrupling the number of setlists from shows I attended.
- re-editing the entire book to clean up some areas that either seemed cumbersome or didn’t flow well
- reformatting the entire book to give it a more professional look and feel.
Countless "truth is stranger than fiction" tales, 177 magical concerts, 100 unique bands, 50 years of finding a way to the next show, and 10 Rules Of The Road all add up to 1 ordinary guy's extraordinary love letter to live rock & roll.It's bigger! It's better! It's the perfect holiday gift for the rock and roll fan in your life! And the paperback is still only $14.99!
Not sure but may be difficult to find in the UK; Abe Books (my preferred book suppler) list it but as an American import costing nearly £90 for P&P!?! and Amazon UK do advertise it but have only listed one in stock which means it would be a fair wait I reckon so ask Speedy back at So Many Roads . . . . I imagine the Kindle edition would work for around about £6. Let’s ask him!
Well an update from Speedy hisself but there are issues with the Kindle which he is working on as we speak and watch the space for updates on that meantime Speedy sends this UK link:
