Product Description
Product Description
Jim Marshall is the ultimate rock & roll photographer -- a man who began shooting during San Francisco's acid rock heyday and never stopped; a man Annie Leibovitz once called "the rock & roll photographer". His outsized personality and penchant for fast living have given him a special rapport with musicians and enabled him to get candid, revealing shots. Not Fade Away collects the best of Marshall's photography for the first time -- and gives us a memorable visual history of the rock & roll era that is unprecedented in its intimacy, immediacy, and impact.
-- Includes a foreword by actor/producer Michael Douglas and an interview by Jon Bowermaster.
-- Answers the question "What was really going on when that picture was taken?" with insightful, behind-the-scenes captions accompanying the 124 duotone photographs.
-- The 1997 hardcover edition sold nearly 10,000 copies.
-- Subjects include the Doors, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, and many others. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Format:Paperback
Mixing all-action shots of '60s burnouts like Eric Burdon with beautiful, touching portrayals of blues legends like T-Bone Walker; this book is a fine testament to the power of music. In looking at musicians passed away, such as Keith Moon, a strange pathos comes over the reader. Looking at them in the peak of their powers shows just how big music's loss has been.
The shot of The Who playing the '69 Woodstock festival perfectly conveys the empathy and inter-band electricity which made them so special. Each shot has the author telling us how he got the shot, how the band felt about it and how he feels about it now. This is a thrilling document of musical history.

Where Have You Gone, Jim Marshall?
26 Dec 1997
Format:Hardcover
One of America's pre-eminient rock photographers surfaces. Jim Marshall's work was a fixture of the '60s and some of the '70s, especially when it came to the Summer of Love and SF. But then like Flower Power & the '60s, Marshall indeed "faded away." His later output in the '70s and '80s is devoid of post-'60s icons as Springsteen, who had a huge pre-Time/Newsweek magazine following here, as well as others. I first met him 12 yrs ago when he sold me one of his photos. I was familiar with his work with Life (Stones 1972 tour) and before and was thrilled to be able to meet the man. At the time I wondered why he hadn't published a book yet. Now here it is and for the most part it delivers bigtime. Great insights delivered via the photo captions; sometimes when Marshall compliments an artist ("so-&-so was the greatest") it might come off a bit on the light side but you can't really complain. His work speaks for itself. It was powerful and awesome. Also in the book are photos of recent performers such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Maybe it's the Times...maybe it's the Subjects...but these recent photos didn't belong in this book at all. It's great to see Marshall's more current work, but I think quite a bit of the magic was missing. Marshall himself acknowledges this. If anybody can conjure this old feeling back through the art of photography, he can.

I knew him when........
14 Nov 2004
Format:Hardcover
As post teeners in SF's North Beach, Jim and I caroused the jazz clubs in the 50s with his first Leica. Always caustic, ever insightful, Jim progressed from raw talent to brilliant. This book is super to those who lived it !!!! Jack Bennett

This incredible photo book should get 11 Stars!
24 Jun 2000
Format:Hardcover
So MUCH ink has been spilled about the 60's & early 70's, most of it overblown or off base in someway. Marshall's black and white photos (most of them taken by a Leica without flash!) get to the heart and soul of the times in ways most writers can only dream of...I can't wait until the color volume comes out. Powerful stuff (like a shot of great whiskey), a must have for any music fan. The HIGHEST recommendation!
