Pete Townsend - Keith Moon

Keith Moon - Pete Townsend

Not sure exactly sure where this image was made. Cannot recognize the venue from the gate 22 sign might be the old Spectrum in Philadelphia....Date would be 1974'ish

Mick Jagger - 1975

Mick Jagger, 1975, Baton Rouge

This image is from the start of the Rolling Stones Tour 1975.  It was the first show with Ron Wood and had two keyboard players, Billy Preston and Ian Stewart...The tour kicked off in Baton Rouge with two shows. I was on assignment for Circus Magazine...

Took about three weeks of working on and off with this image to get it back to a presentable state. It had lived in a storage locker for who knows how many years before making it's way back into the light - no pun intended...

Photograph made using a Nikon F Series camera with Ektachrome film. Scanned into the digital world with an Imacon/Hasselblad scanning device....

The :Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Genesis

This image from the mid 70's Genesis tour for their concept album, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway......Photographed at The Academy of Music in New York City....

Poco, Academy of Music, New York City

I am not quite sure which version of Poco this image is from but my best guess is the 1973-1976 line-up which included:

Timothy B Schmit - Bass
Rusty Young - Pedal Steel, Dobro, Banjo
George Grantham - Drums, vocals
Paul Cotton - guitars, vocals

This photograph was taken at the Academy of Music in New York City.

I was lucky enough to be included in an article about Tour Managers in this months issue of Elmore Magazine. The link is below - note that the article starts on Page 12..It was written by a up and coming young music writer, Melissa Caruso...keep your eye out for her byline.....

Johnny Winter

Johnny Winter, Madison Square Garden

This image made at Madison Square Garden in the early 70's....Note that they had people sitting right on the stage - such a different time in live music......not only that but you cold shoot the entire show and use flash if necessary...I was never much of a flashy on camera guy but in this case it helped to show the folks on stage......killed the stage lighting but had to get the shot...

The Boss

Bruce Springsteen, 1981

I always had a camera at hand during my years on the road touring with various musical artists. Made a good deal of images and filed them away until a few years ago when I started to scan them all into the digital world to prevent any further damage. It is amazing how these Ektachrome images will deteriorate over time... Not sure what I am going to do with these but it is time to finally get them out of the shoe-boxes and organized.

Came across this Springsteen last week from 1981, The River Tour - I believe this was Cincinnati, the last stop on this particular tour. 

Captured with a Nikon F3, 105mm Lens, Ektachrome Color film - Scan was done by JS Graphics, Jon Scott in Chicago - they do really great scanning and print work. It is rare that I send anything out but I can highly recommend them - and they are fast on the turnaround.
