60 years ago today, August 29, 1966, was The Beatles last public concert at Candlestick Park, San Francisco.
“Over the years, Marshall’s photos of the last Beatles concert have grown in stature, with some of the images blasted into the collective subconscious through repeated use. The extraordinarily intimate backstage access, coupled with Marshall’s always penetrating vision behind the lens, froze this historic event in his frames….Marshall was the right man in the right place at the right time.” —-Joel Selvin from “The Beatles By Jim Marshall Live At Candlestick Park” in bookstores everywhere.

Celebrating World Photography Day.
Jim Marshall was never afraid to get in close to his subjects using his Summilux-M 1:1.4/50 ASPH lens. “When I am able to capture the essence of my subjects and show something of what they do or reveal who this person is, then I have achieved what I want to do. It is such an elusive thing, and sometimes I feel like a sniper waiting for that shot or moment to happen. It is the same discipline - steady, aim, focus, squeeze don’t jerk.” -Jim Marshall 1997.
This was Jim Marshall’s signature style like no other photographer no matter who the subject was.

Woodstock August 15-18 1969
57 years ago today Jim Marshall was an official photographer at Woodstock. Jim had all access to go anywhere and photograph whomever he wanted, capturing the most iconic photographs of the festival along with the spirit, the excitement and the bands of the generation that changed the world.

1. This shot was used as the centerpiece of the live three-album set “Woodstock: The Original Soundtrack and More”, released in 1970. Jim was afraid of heights but having been dosed by the Grateful Dead he thought he was a monkey and climbed up the stage scaffold to get this shot. He had borrowed a fish-eye lens from fellow photographer Bill Eppridge and put on his orange filter. Jim couldn’t remember how he got down from the scaffolding
2. Carlos Santana, under the influence of mescaline provided by Jerry Garcia, wrestling with his guitar that was “transformed” into a slithering snake as he was trying to hold onto while playing.
3. Bill Graham behind the speakers while Santana played
4. Pete Townshend, The Who, at dawn
5. Janis Joplin
6. Sly And The Family Stone Nation
7. Jefferson Airplane
8. Jerry Garcia & Pigpen of the Grateful Dead with Marty Balin listening in the background
9. This shot of a couple dancing was the cover of Newsweeks 25th Anniversary Edition of Woodstock

Jim Marshall was a master at capturing the moment even in the lowest light. A person in the know once said “Jim Marshall was the Cartier-Bresson of music photography”. I could not agree more.
