January 1971. Mott & Camel play the back room of a pub in the suburbs of West London
January 1969, Middle Earth, London. Mime & a pre-Hawkwind Dave Brock
Cambridge, 1963. Rock & Roll cats & their servants, #20 in a occasional series. Frisky with Syd Barrett
28/7/1983. The Cure play the much missed Moles Club in Bath, they had played a club in Bournemouth the previous night. The gigs were warm ups to break in new members Phil Thornalley & Andy Anderson before The Elephant Fayre Festival & some US dates
1974, The Bottom Line, NYC. Lou with Barbara Hodes, who had been his girlfriend in the Warhol era, & who offered a homeless Lou her spare room as he battled his mid-70s demons. It was Hodes that bleached Iron Crosses into Lou's hair at his request📸Bob Gruen
27/4/1990, Hampshire College, Amherst, MA, Kurt Cobain onstage with Nirvana. It was one of their last gigs with drummer Chad Channing. For the fashionistas among us, Kurt's dress is by Contempo Casuals
1937, Ohio. A 'breadline' shuffles forward to collect free basic food from what we'd now call a foodbank📸Margaret Bourke-White
1894, Atlanta, GA. Coca-Cola goes on sale as a tonic syrup to be mixed with soda water. It was 'guaranteed to revive', probably because every bottle contained at least 3.5 grams of cocaine
"I wore my fringe like Roger McGuinn's. I wore it hoping to impress..."
Hollywood, 1952. Marilyn works out📸Philippe Halsman
1967, Swinging London. The Bluesbreakers featured a teenage guitarist called Mick Taylor, while another teen, Paul Kossoff, was in Black Cat Bones. Alvin Lee of Ten Years After turned 23 between their two gigs. He could play a bit as well...
1974. One of the year's biggest chart acts. I had a couple of interactions with Mr Batt on pre-Musk Twitter, & he seems a throughly nice bloke. A lot more to his musical career than the litter pickers of course...
