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,

Neil Young and Crazy Horse in Milwaukee on January 5, 1973

This week's blog is part 2 of CSNY at Miwaukee County Stadium in 1974.

Found a few more images to add that give an interesting view of the stadium and the crowd from where I was stationed to photograph.

As you can see, I was just another person in the crowd for this show.

Love the clothes we were wearing in 1974!

Enjoy and have a great week.

Thanks,

A look today of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY), when they played at Milwaukee County Stadium in 1974.

The house was packed for a great show on a beautiful summer day.

They shared the show with Jesse Colin Young and his Youngbloods and the Beach Boys.

Enjoy a look at CSNY when they were at their best.

Have a great week and enjoy the fall colors!

Thanks,

After watching Neil Young doing his annual benefit for the Bridge School the other night, it made me go to the archives and dig out some pictures from a couple of his shows that I photographed. 

One show was January 5, 1972 at the Milwaukee Auditorium and another was November 14, 1976 at the Dane County Coliseum in Madison, Wisconsin.

Neil always comes with a good band and the shows were full of energy.  A picture I wish I had taken was of his bus which was covered in wood trim on the outside at the Madison show.  At the Milwaukee show he had on stage an amazing pipe organ.  I wonder why I didn't take a picture of that!

All blog photographs are for sale at a special price of $30.00 for a limited edition 8 X 10 or 8 1/2 X 11 gloss print which includes shipping in the U.S..  This sale is just during the week of the featured blog.  Contact us soon.
