Jimi -
"Another shot of Jimi during the same soundcheck at Monterey Pop. Jimi hit a note on his guitar, and the way it made him feel is all over his face. I was three feet from him and shot this with a Leica M2, with a medium-wide angle lens. I don't know how many people really knew Jimi — he had an arrogance, sex appeal, and more talent and excitement than any one man has a right to." — Jim Marshall
“Jimi was a superstar by now. He wrote his name down forever at Monterey, that performance made him in the States. At his Winterland show in ’68 I knew him enough then that I could go right up onstage and shoot. He said I could do whatever I want. I was using a 24mm 2.8 lens, probably no further than four feet away. He was oblivious to me, like I didn’t exist. It was fucking loud, probably one of the reasons why I’m deaf now. I shot Jimi quite a few times after that, the last time at the Isle of Wight just two weeks before he died. He was burned out from being Jimi Hendrix. It was horrible, the light was shitty, there was a milliion photographers there, the sound was terrible, I think I have one good shot. He was a lovely man, I went to his funeral with Miles.”

“This shot of the Allman Brothers Band was taken in Macon, Georgia, in 1971 for the cover of At Fillmore East. From the left, Jai Johanny Johanson, Duane, Gregg, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, and Butch Trucks. Now, the interesting part of this story is that I hear there are guided tours of the Lower East Side in New York City that supposedly visit the spot where this shot was taken. None of the pictures on the At Fillmore East album or CD packages were taken at the Fillmore East. Right before we did the shot in Macon, I stenciled "The Allman Brotheres Band at Fillmore East" on one of the cases. For the album concept, I received a platinum record from the Allman Brothers' current manager.”

The iconic image of the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival—Jimi Hendrix squirts lighter fluid on his burning Stratocaster.
