The past few weeks I have shown you photos from the first major rock show that I photographed.

No backstage pass was given to me.  In my early years of photography, I just photographed from my seat! That is just how is was done back them. 

This show featured Savoy Brown, with an opening act of Long John Baldry.

Long John Baldry, was 6' 7", giving him the name Long John Baldry.

He was the first guy to play the blues in clubs in England in the early 1960's.

The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart and many others have worked with Long John Baldry and can thank him for paving the path of British Blues.

In later life he became a voice actor in television and some movies.

Enjoy some very early photos of mine and have a great week.

Thanks,
