The book is about 99% pictures – large, lavish pictures all in black and white. It’s not just pictures of the band but pictures of Las Vegas, Wembley stadium, scenery and downtown street shots. To someone who doesn’t live in America, I was wondering if I should be familiar with these and found myself Googling street and record store names. I can tell you that there is a handy caption list at the end of the book which will tell you where each photograph was taken with details of the people. Unfortunately, I didn’t discover that until the end of the book, which meant I had to read it again. Sigh. Such a hardship.
A lovely thing about the photographs being so big is that you can examine lots of details. So I could look at the books on the shelf of Stuart Price’s studio and read the spines (Murakami!). I could also get the guitar tabs for Lou Reed’s Pale Blue Eyes as someone (likely Dave) practised using a handwritten lyric/chord sheet.
As a fan, I really appreciated these details. I liked to examine the guitars the guys were holding, read the Wi-Fi passwords and get an insight into life off stage without feeling that I was intruding. Would I have liked more words? Sure, I’m a greedy fan. However, I think it’s great that you can look at the photographs and add your own imagination. It’s a beautiful book, well executed and an insight into life on the road for a touring band.
I’d love to see something similar from the 2017/2018 Wonderful Wonderful tour in colour (because how else will we do justice to those gorgeous, often sparkly jackets of Brandon’s?).
