Rock and Roll Warrior. My adventures with, Alice Cooper, Prince, George Clinton, Living Colour, The Runaways, and more...

David Libert shares the unvarnished, absolutely true tales from the Inner circle of the music industry from Alice Cooper to Prince, on the road, backstage, on private jets and inside the notorious after-parties with music legends in the era of free-spirit, hard-driving rock ?n? roll and R&B. It?s life on the road in technicolor. A rollercoaster ride like none other. You?re in the trenches as ?Dyno Dave? engages with his hilarious, edgy, and sarcastic wit. As Tour Manager for Alice Cooper, running the first large-scale, theatrical, international rock tour to Manager of Parliament-Funkadelic Libert leads the charges with wisdom, ingenuity, dexterity, psychology, and arm-twisting. As much as it is the story of rock superstars, it is a tale of David?s journey from being the singer in the hit ?60s pop group the Happenings (See You In September) through his days as a drug dealer on Sunset Strip.
