Ronnie Schneider

On the advice of his mother, Schneider drove to New York City on his summer breaks from college and interned at his "Uncle Allen's" business, ABKCO Records.

Following his graduation from the University of Miami in 1965, Schneider returned to New York and met The Rolling Stones on a press cruise around Manhattan organized by Klein's company.

Schneider, who had just a few months earlier been dancing to this new song, "Satisfaction" in Miami clubs, was now to be "on the road" with The Rolling Stones and collecting the receipts at the box office on behalf of Klein.

On behalf of the Rolling Stones, Schneider centralized the control, ownership and management of ancillary rights, licensing and the marketing of posters, T-shirts, programs and other concert related materials—-vastly improving the group’s revenue base while touring.

Capturing the scene of a man (Meredith Hunter) brutally stabbed to death by the Hells Angels, it remains one of the most successful concert films ever made.

[7] In 1974, Schneider founded the American Concert Association, a corporation that brought to colleges top rock acts like Richie Havens, Steppenwolf and Sly and the Family Stone.

In 1987, Schneider acted as associate producer for the Cinemax Sessions specials featuring jazz greats Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Chuck Mangione, Don Cherry and Maynard Ferguson.

From 1988 to 1995, he was involved in various film productions and mentored promising artists through his company Eurolink, maintaining offices in London, Berlin, Vienna and Prague.

In 1998, Schneider completed negotiations for one of his musicians to perform on the soundtrack of The Thin Red Line, a film starring John Travolta and Sean Penn.
