What goes on tour stays on tour -- unless you're the the first woman roadie in the world

At just fifteen, Tana Douglas ran away to the circus that was rock 'n' roll in the 1970s, taking a job with a young and upcoming band called AC/DC. While still a teenager she headed to the UK and later the US to work for a who's who of bands and artists. Life on the road was exhilarating, hard work, occasionally surreal but never dull, particularly when you're the only woman in the road crew and the #metoo movement is still 40 years away.

Whether wrangling Iggy Pop across Europe, climbing trusses while seven months pregnant, drinking shots of JD with Bon Scott backstage at Wembley, or donning a tailor-made suit to do lights for Elton at Windsor Castle, Tana did it all.

Loud is rock 'n' roll like you've never seen it before, by a woman who not only survived the all-male world on the road but climbed to the top and lived to tell the tale.

Enjoyed this read very much. As an avid music fan it was very interesting to hear what went on behind the scenes and the amount of work that goes into getting the performers on to the stage especially on the large tours.

Excellent book, stories of the early days of Aussie rock, and then international touring. An insiders take on the rock world, very well told by a very brave woman.

Highly entertaining but also very sad in parts. What the book may lack in writing style is more than made up by the fantastic anecdotes throughout. I recommend this book.
