Excellent NEW interview with Joel McIver all about his work & co-authoring Glenn's Autobiography...

That was indeed a good interview. It's always interesting to read how people in this business come together and Joel seems to be a real nice person. I liked his introduction on stage at Glenn's acoustic show as well, he seems to have a great sense of humor.
(You wouldn't think so when you see his photo in that article though.)

The Autobiography is also now available as a NOOK Book on the Barnes & Noble 'Nook' Tablet...

One other interview with Glenn's co-author, Joel McIver...
QuoteThe first few thousand sold out in about 10 minutes: it’s the publisher’s fastest-selling book ever, which is very cool indeed. I had a blast working with Glenn and I’ll never forget it.

Can't wait, Seems like it will be a very interesting read! -
Another good interview with Glenn's co-author, Joel McIver with good mention of the Autobiography and more...
Quote...we´ve been talking for ages, Glenn and I, how it would look as a film. I think maybe we had that in mind when I was writing it. Some of that is because he is always saying “Get a visual, get a picture of it!” and it is a very visual book as a result.

Another good review of the Autobiography...

Interesting stuff about the multiple relapses in the 1990's. I had always thought that the "Addiction" album was a final letter addressing the past, but the book shows that he wasn't done yet, even then. Amazing, and fortunate, that he's still with us.
Not enough info on some GREAT solo albums for my taste. I wanted to learn a little bit more about Music For the Divine, Building the Machine, and Addiction. And JJ Marsh deserved some words . . . -
I'm always surprised by folks reaction, that there's not enough about albums, personnel etc; after all, it was always billed as a personal journey and more so, about what caused the path he took, to bring him to where he's at today... I'm sure if there's enough call for it, stories of albums and band members, gone by, will be made in another tomb... never say never, eh

GREAT book, I really enjoyed it and was sad when it was over. It made me wonder about my own experience seeing Trapeze, though. I established with Glenn when I saw him in NJ, that I had seen him in '76 during the reunion tour. However, I realize that I must have also seen Trapeze before that show, and I'm trying to figure out where. I'd love to know where they played in Houston when they played, prior to that reunion tour. I have a memory of seeing who I remember thinking was a friggin copy band at an outside show, thinking they were doing a spot on Trapeze imitation, and now I'm wondering if that was indeed Trapeze. I also remember seeing Glenn when his hair was long at a Trapeze concert, and I realize now that he had cut his hair for the reunion tour in '76.
This period of time is a little hazy/smoky but now I'm curious as to where I actually first saw him, thinking all this time it was in '76 only - evidently it wasn't just then... I saw him before that, I had to have.
I thank God he made it through and is doing good now. -

It could of been during '72/'73 when they played there... checkout the Tourography to see if it jogs your memory!

Music Hall, 1973, I think my brother and I saw them with Capt Beyond! Possibly saw them in June, also, I'd like to know where they were.
Thanks David!
You know this is one of my very favorite sites on earth, but my computer is so slow I can barely navigate it....it takes many minutes to get on and move around and post, etc. I can't wait to get a new one, and I will be a better fan than I have been. I miss being able to read and comment on here, I hope it changes soon cause I miss all things GH. -
