Publisher's Synopsis
Jim Marshall's photographs represent the great unpublished archive of rock music. Not only is Marshall a great technician with the camera, but he also had the good fortune - or sense - to be present at crucial moments. The book includes pictures of Janis Joplin drunk in an armchair, Jimi Hendrix smashing his guitar on stage for the first time, Dylan walking the streets of Greenwhich Village in the early 1960s, The Beatles at their last press conference, and so on. Each picture is accompanied by a short explanatory caption.
