My radio show of Monday, September 19th, was all about: Rock Music Photography: Woodstock Vision with a special guest: Elliott Landy
Elliott Landy talked about his photography and his new photography book about Janis Joplin. Eliot regaled us all with his recounting of Woodstock promoter Michael Lang.
Guest for our show:
Elliott Landy
Elliott Landy, the photographer is best known for his iconic photographs from the Sixties Classic Rock period, and was one of the first “music photographers” to be recognized as an “artist.”
Within the next few years, his celebrated images included portraits of Bob Dylan (Nashville Skyline), The Band (Music From Big Pink), Janis Joplin (Big Brother & The Holding Company: Cheap Thrills), Van Morrison (Moondance), Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Joan Baez, Eric Clapton, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Frank Zappa, John Lee Hooker and many others.
His iconic photographs of Dylan and The Band during the years they resided and recorded in the small art colony of Woodstock, New York, and his coverage of the 1969 Woodstock Festival captured the attention of a new generation seeking spiritual and artistic freedom. His imagery has become synonymous with the town, the famed 1969 Music Festival, and the Utopian spirit of the Woodstock Generation.Website: Elliott Landy
