The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s is back in print in this new edition that includes an afterword on the author's last 15 years of adventures. As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next 10 years, she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO's, a girl group masterminded by Frank Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. Warm, witty, and sexy, this kiss-and-tell all stands out as the perfect chronicle of one of rock 'n' roll's most thrilling eras.… (mere)

Histrionic and emotionally breathless tales of a rock'n'roll groupie. She "likes" Gram Parsons, Jimmie Page, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. She doesn't like Paul McCartney (altho he was an idol from her pre-teen days. She's over-sexed and an emotional basketcase most of the time. Still, a useful, unique look at the 60s and 70s from a woman's point of view. ( )

This is a reread but it's been so many years, and I want something fun. I’d kind of forgotten what a delight this book is. Her enthusiasm and purity of spirit are just wonderful. If ever there was a good argument for keeping an exhaustive journal you carry around with you this is the book.

"I'm With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie" by Pamela Des Barres unfortunately set off the explosion of "groupie book" memoirs by dubious women that publishers wouldn't have touched if "I'm With the Band" hadn't created a mild sensation. I read this one in the 1980s shortly after it came out and was flabbergasted that someone would gleefully boast about being passed around by men, rock stars or not. By the way, Jimmy Page did not wear his dragon suit until 1975, Pam, long after he dumped you. ( )

Oh, Miss Pamela, thank you so much for daring to share your life with the rest of us. Some people criticize her, but I think she did the things she really felt like doing and good for her. At the end of the day she seems to have very few regrets about her wild youth.

One thing I have to say for her, she understood the importance of looking fabulous. Even though she maneuvered through the sixties, she rejected the hippie style of no makeup, ugly hair, ugly clothes, bra-less saggy boobs and reeking of patchouli and body odor. Thank you, Miss P, for making a case for lipstick & couture clothing way before the 80's came along.

I enjoyed this funny, sex-driven romp and the style in which Ms des Barres related it to us. Although I will never quite understand her fascination with celebrity, I will be the first to admit that on the subject of human male beauty, Jimmy Page in 1973 was indeed a god. ( )

A kiss and tell memoir from the foremost groupie ever to grace the music scene. Miss P. gives an account of her life from her teenage years and on through the sixties and seventies and lets you in on her thoughts via journal entries written at the time as she hangs out with some of the biggest names in rock. Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Gram Parsons, Keith Moon, the list is almost endless though she did turn down a date with Elvis. It's not all about the sex and drugs (though there's a lot of that) as we get to follow Pamela as she grows up right there on the page. From fist love and loss, through the hippie years, her dreams of becoming a star in her own right (forming a girl group under the auspices of Frank Zappa and a fledgling acting career) to finally meeting Mr. Right.

This is an enjoyable, uncomplicated look at the life and times of the real-life person that both Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn used as major inspiration for their roles in Almost Famous and The Banger Sisters (loved the former but not seen the latter). Told with charm and wit it's no surprise to learn that the narrator went on to become a journalist. Despite the salacious nature of the book there is still an innocence of spirit that manages to shine through. It wasn't written to titillate but provide an insight of her life and the momentous times in which she lived. My copy includes an update to her life seventeen years after the book was written and plenty of pictures to accompany her experiences and has a cover that I probably couldn't take out in polite company.
