About this ebook
I purchased my first camera and a few lenses in 1970 for a high school project. I was very impressed with concerts and the light shows they would produce, especially the Big Shows. I took my camera to all of them and only a few of them did not allow cameras in. This is my photographic view of rock and roll concerts of the early 1970's. Not only were the Musicians and their show a great time, but so were the fans. I started paying attention to the people, and shooting what was going on around me. It was an interesting time in the 70’s!

My PHOTO View
I purchased my first camera and a few lenses in 1970 for a high school project. I was very impressed with concerts and the light shows they would produce, especially the Big Shows. I took my camera to all of them and only a few of them did not allow cameras in. (George Harrison, Queen, Alice Cooper, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and a few others) Although, I made it into quite a few before the days of NO CAMERAS ALLOWED
! Not only were the Musicians and their show a great time, but so were the fans. I started paying attention to the people, and shooting what was going on around me. It was an interesting time in the 70’s! Some of the information is from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia! http://www.wikipedia.org/
Rock & Roll
ELPconcert1.jpgRock music is a genre of popular music that originated as rock and roll
in 1950s America and developed into a range of different styles in the 1960s and later, mainly in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Early Rock
In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s.The beat is essentially a blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum. Classic rock and roll is usually played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. Beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and on television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the initially characteristic backbeat, that are now more commonly called simply rock music
or "rock. The popularity and worldwide scope of rock music resulted in a powerful impact on society.
Security
concertpolice.jpgSecurity at most rock concerts in the 1960’s and early 70’s was far and few between. I believe the main thing was to keep people from hurting each other and to keep fans away from the bands themselves. As time went on into the 80’s and 90’s under cover agents were placed within the fans searching for drug dealers and users.
Behavior
Rock concerts are often associated with certain kinds of behavior. Dancing, shouting, singing along with the band, and ostentatious displays by the musicians are common, though some very successful rock bands have avoided gratuitous flash in favor of understated performances focusing on the music itself. Even so, rock concerts often have a playful atmosphere both for the band and the audience. At times few people indulge in too much alcohol and or drugs, which brings in the local law enforcement to keep everyone under control. I have been to at least a hundred concerts, if not more, and have only a few times seen any real trouble. A few times I have seen people OD, over dose on something and they would have them on stretchers. I have also seen a lot of very drunk people that could barely walk or even talk. That does not seem to
