Jim Marshall – Love, Rock and Revolution

Considered one of the most important photographers of the rock ’n’ roll era, Jim Marshall (1936–2010) not only portrayed the great musicians of his time, but also documented the San Francisco district where he lived for many years: Haight-Ashbury. Amelia Davis, who administers the photographic estate at Jim Marshall Photography LLC, has selected five pictures. More can be seen in the photo book "Jim Marshall: The Haight. Love, Rock and Revolution", that is also introduced in LFI 1/2015.

The photo above was taken at a Jimi Hendrix free concert in the Panhandle in San Francisco, June 19,1967 . This was not a planned concert. The Jimi Hendrix Experience and the Grateful Dead commandeered the equipment from Monterey Pop and brought it up to San Francisco the next day and played. The rest is history!
