Editorial Review:
The long-awaited coffee-table tribute book for the Stones is hot off the presses!
"Love You Live, Rolling Stones: Fanfare From the Common Fan" is a collection of stories and photos by fans on the road with the Rolling Stones for four decades. The book is presented from their fans’ perspective and features hundreds of never-before-published photos of the Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band in the World.
"Love You Live, Rolling Stones: Fanfare From the Common Fan" contains stories from fans around the world who wrote about Rolling Stones memories at some of the most important events in the history of Rock ‘n Roll, including: the crowd record-breaking concert in Hyde Park, the infamous Altamont Concert; the BBC special "Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus"; and the precedent-setting club concert, El Mocambo.
"Love You Live, Rolling Stones: Fanfare from the Common Fan" takes it’s name from a popular live Rolling Stones double album released in 1977 and was mostly recorded during their Tour of the Americas in 1975. At the beginning of each concert on this tour an excerpt from Aaron Copland’s "Fanfare for the Common Man" was played as an overture.
Editor Marilou Regan and Hans Oosterbaan have been collecting photos and stories for the book for nearly three years. There are over 600 photos in the book.
Most of the photos in "Love You Live, Rolling Stones; Fanfare from the Common Fan" have never before been published. Fans have shared their personal photo collections for the book. Some well-known professional Stones photographers, including Kevin Mazur, Dave Hogan, Bob Gruen, Phyllis Lattner, Bob Mussell, Fernando Aceves, and Thom Hoffman, have also contributed never-before-published photos to "Love You Live". And Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood has contributed a collectible artwork.
There are approximately 80 stories in "Love You Live" submitted by fans from 20 different countries. Each story contains a historic perspective of the era and the mood of the country it represents. The stories are anecdotal and personal and filled with adventures from the 40 years the Rolling Stones have been touring.
"Love You Live, Rolling Stones; Fanfare from the Common Fan" is full color, has 256 pages and measures 9 x 12. It is the only tribute book dedicated to the Stones by their fans.
Love You Live, Rolling Stones: Fanfare from the Common Fan Reviews:
One Word..... TOTALLY AWESOME 
2004-03-12 - I love the Stones. They are, to me and you, as the comon man would like to say. Me and my lady freind, who like the stone as well, though that my good friend, Mary Lou Regan, who I know was inspried by page number 420 to 422 was a great story. Reading it back to myself brought a tear to eye and will never forget and also not even once would you know that the stories are true. Rock hard and Live Long Stones!!!!

2003-02-11 - .....the graphics, pictorials, and mirage of color blend into one great reading experience. A standing ovation to the Editor, Designer, and all the fans who contributed their experience in words. "caution....do not attempt to read this book without listening to the stones"
BY THE FANS, FOR THE FANS 
2003-02-10 - Marilou worked on this book for several years, and I think her patience, time, and Tender Loving Care shows in this wonderful piece of work. The book contains stories about the Rolling Stones written by fans from all over the world. To go with these interesting stories are photographs that have never published before, and pictures of memorabilia from some of the biggest Stones collectors in the world. From the Sixties to the present, this book is for every die-hard fan of the Rolling Stones. I cannot tell you how many times I have looked at this book. From what I was told, even the Rolling Stones themselves were impressed with this one. It's a must.
Out of the Shadows 
2002-12-09 - This is just a wonderful book. One that is unique in that it is written by the hard core fans of the Rolling Stones and not by some hired gun writing for the Rock Star of the year.
Have you ever sat around with a bunch of old friends reminiscing about the good ole days? Sure you have! This book is not unlike that. It's packed with one great story after another. Not to mention some killer pictures. If your a Stones Fan, or even just a fan of Rock n Roll you must have this book!
beautiful 
2002-12-02 - Wonderful! Mrs. Regan captures the essence of The Rolling Stones in her book. Magical!
