 Schneider was the nephew of Allen Klein, who had been recently fired by Keith Richards and Sam Cutler.Neither Schneider nor the Stones had any money at the time to fund this endeavor so Schneider had to come up with a new business model and that meant the band getting a piece of the gross box office and demanding a 50% advance, which funded the shows.Schneider's role involved securing box office receipts on behalf of the band.
