Show Topic: Behind the Lens – California Dreaming & Rock Photography of the 60s and 70s

This Monday, April 13th, 2026, we step into a truly special edition of Rock n Roll Moments, where music meets photography in a powerful exploration of the California sound of the 1960s and 70s.

We’ll also explore the cultural heartbeat of Laurel Canyon, where a generation of musicians came together to create some of the most influential music in rock history. Alongside that, we revisit legendary festivals like the Monterey Pop Festival and Woodstock—moments that didn’t just showcase music, but helped shape the identity of a generation.

Joining me once again is legendary photographer Henry Diltz, whose lens captured the very soul of this era. With over 250 album covers to his name—including the iconic Morrison Hotel cover for The Doors—Henry’s work is inseparable from the visual history of rock and roll. His candid, fly-on-the-wall style brought audiences closer than ever to artists like The Eagles, Jimi Hendrix, Paul McCartney, and The Monkees.
