Today, we are looking at Neil Young from a show that I photographed at the Milwaukee Auditorium on January 5, 1973.

I posted some of these photos in blog #26 way back in 2012 when I was first starting up my blog.

Software is better now so I rescanned the negatives and touched them up with the new and improved Lightroom.

I'm discovering that my old black and white negatives are disintegrating more and more. Lightroom helps but I could spend hours on some of these photos. I do exactly that when they are ordered as a print for your home or office.

This show was just a few months after Neil Young's guitar player, Danny Whitten, had passed away. The name of the band at that time I think was Crazy Horse but I have found two other possible names!  Could be The Stray Gators or The Santa Monica Flyers.  I'm not sure.

The band was so good. You can see in the pictures that they were drinking Michelob.  Rumor is that before Heineken became the staple of every band, Michelob was the beer of choice.

Enjoy a look at the boys a few years back.

A couple 2019 calendars are left yet and if you are interested, just let me know. Forty dollars includes shipping and each month is a frameable photo of a musician on his birthday month.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
