This head shot was taken the day the Experience gave a free concert in Golden Gate Park, 1967. It graced the cover of Guitar Player's September 1995 issue, which remains the magazine's single best selling issue.




"What did Churchill say about Russia? A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma? Well, Dylan is like that. This particular photo was taken one Sunday morning when Bobby, his girlfriend Suze Rotolo, Dave Van Ronk, and Terri Van Ronk were all going to breakfast in New York. Just two frames were shot - no big deal - but I feel it shows Bob was still a kid in 1963. Contrary to popular belief, this shot did not inspire "Like a Rolling Stone." No one really knows where he was coming from, but he's one of the most brilliant songwriters of our time. - Jim Marshall





"Jim Morrison at the Northern California Folk Rock Festival in San Jose, 1968. I don't think I ever spoke three words to Morrison. We were on the side of the stage and I was shooting with just one frame left on the roll, and Jim said, 'Hey Marshall, you want a photo?' and looked right into my camera. He was one of those guys in his own space. I never got close to him. My impression of Morrison was that he was like C.S. Lewis, spiritual without being religious." - Jim Marshall



"These two Joplin photographs with the Southern Comfort bottle have a mystery about them. They were shot in 1968 backstage at San Francisco's Winterland - both taken with the same camera and lens, but different rolls. I did not number my rolls in order that night, and to this day I do not know which was taken first. When I showed Janis the picture of her lying back with the bottle in her hand, she said, 'Jim, this is how it is sometimes. Lousy.' Some people said I shouldn't have published the picture of her lying back with the bottle in her hand, but I'll defend it to the death. It's an honest picture, and Janis liked it. Janis was a great subject to photograph, because she was not afraid of the camera and came alive onstage - that was her world. She was very real and a still a little girl when she died, a very famous little girl."
-Jim Marshall


"The Who in San Francisco, 1967. This is one of the first published photographs of the band in the United States, and was used by Teen Set, a magazine edited by a very special lady, the late Judy Sims. I took this frame outside their motel and asked them to look straight into the camera." - Jim Marshall



“I was shooting Led Zeppelin for Atlantic records at the Hyatt House in 1970. The group shot was taken on the top floor of the hotel, to get all four of them together at one time was a job, I just had available light and got some portraits of each of them by the window.”
-Jim Marshall

"Keith Richards during Exile on Main Street sessions, 1972. I think this is one of my best photos - the quintessential Keith photo." - Jim Marshall


"Johnny flipping the bird at San Quentin Prison, 1969. Contrary to popular belief, John has never been in prison. I think he got busted once for being drunk or something when he was a kid - I don't know and it's none of my business - but he's never been in jail. I've known John since 1962, and I forget why he flipped the bird in this picture. It might have been directed at the television crew who was filming there, or I might have suggested doing a special shot for the warden, but for whatever reason, this has become a very famous, iconic picture. His record company is still using it. It shows John's individuality, but the gesture was definitely done in jest. John's got a great sense of humor and this was not a serious shot." - Jim Marshall
