    A piece of Rock & Roll History preserved on film, these images
    were created when Rock & Roll and especially Live Concerts were just in their infancy. Stages were setup in college gymnasiums, old movie theaters converted into concert halls, outdoor baseball stadiums or in an available open field. Places like The Capitol Theatre, The Palladium, The Bottom Line are all now gone to the wrecking ball. Tickets were actually printed and numbered and were quite artistic. Smoking was allowed everywhere, bottles & cans were carried into shows and no one checked your bags, purse or pockets. We were all there for great music and James Shive was there with camera & film preserving music history on film.
