Seldom Seen Old Pics of Famous Musicians

That is a rare picture. Lennon with his Epi Casino but not wearing glasses.

He's wearing the same suit and playing the same guitar as when I saw him in August 1966 in Memphis TN. But when I saw him he had begun to wear glasses.

Amazing that you saw them. Could you hear the music?

That was dated 1966 and was taken in D.C. on what was their final tour I believe.

I could hear them well enough to know that I could not hear Paul singing the first line in "She's a Woman." His mike wasn't working, so he calmly strolled over to John's mike and sang into it.

That guy was very lucky to be able to take pictures of the Beatles.

When I saw them in Memphis, there was a rule (probably in a concert rider) that no one have a camera or take pictures. Your camera would be confiscated and you would be escorted out. I saw several young ladies escorted from the concert, weeping bitterly, their cameras in the hands of the security guards escorting them out.

I liked the post but can't honestly say I like the picture. One of those "What was he thinking?" moments.

This reminded me of when I was going to Red Rocks to see Tom Petty and the Black Crowes and my friends who had been there many times said I can't bring my nice camera in as it will be confiscated at the gate, and we had parked a long way away. We get to the gate and people are walking right through with cameras, bags, on and on unchecked.

It was a beautiful night and we were just up high enough to see the city lights over the stage as the sun sets. And later during Petty, lightning over Denver. I was so bummed.

Thankfully someone had posted a bunch of nice shots from the show online that evening.

Todd has certainly had some bizarre wardrobe moments over the years.
He's playing Clapton's "The Fool" SG there, of course.
