KEITH RICHARDS BACKSTAGE SPECTRUM ARENA: (June 29, 1975)

PHOTO: This photo was taken nearly 50 years ago. The technology for capturing images was extremely limited by low speed films. I was using a 50mm-2.8 lens, no motor drive, no autofocus, iso 320 tungsten transparancey film. I had only been taking photos a few months before this night. Shutter speed was a 15th of sec. I was also too close to focus, as the picture above illustrates. I have never used this photo previously. It was in my outtakes collection, but I’ve realized the historical significance of the shot makes it worthwhile to post.
