Ron Wood

Ron Wood, 1975
This image is from the start of the Rolling Stones Tour in 1975. They opened in Baton Rouge and did two shows. I was on assignment for Circus Magazine.....

This image and about 60 others were just returned to me the other day after 35 years. It seems they were in a storage locker and the person who ended up with them was a friend of mine - he called and asked if I wanted them back....makes one believe......I am totally amazed and equally thrilled at how well they held up over that long a period of time....

stay tuned -more stones coming over the next month or so...Now if I can find those missing Frampon's Camel and Frank Zappa Halloween show photos....

  1. This must have been very early, Harry. He joined the Stones in 75, right, after The Faces broke up? But it's not clear whether your photo was taken in 75 or 78 (there's a typing error in your blog entry). Look how health his skin and hair look! Didn't take long for the Stones' rock'n'roll lifestyle to take it's toll on him. He ended up looking like Keith Richards' double!

  2. thanks Shaun - this was 1975 in Baton Rouge having just joined the Stones. Oddly enough I just wrote a friend and mentioned how little time it took for the Stones get his looks to match Keith......Sorry for the typo...
