This past Thursday marked the 50th anniversary of the Rolling Stones first gig. There is even talk of a tour. Pretty sad when there is still no competing with 60s pop/rock.
The photo, of course, is from the infamous Rolling Stones Press Reception in New York 1966. It was that event that launched Linda McCartney’s career in rock photography. I can only imagine what it was like to have a front-row seat to rock history.
