I'm with the Band

Confessions of a Groupie
Book • 1960
This stylish and candid memoir chronicles the life of Pamela Ann Miller, who became one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 1970s by immersing herself in the drug-filled, ecstatic world of the Sunset Strip rock scene.

Des Barres recounts her affairs with icons such as Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, and Jimmy Page, her travels with Led Zeppelin, and her role in Frank Zappa's experimental group GTOs.

Warm, witty, and sexy, the book offers a unique chronicle of rock 'n' roll's most thrilling era, blending personal anecdotes with journal entries to capture the decadence and spiritual revolution of the time.
