1) Iggy Pop by Mick Rock
The aptly named Rock caught all the primordial fury of The Stooges at their peak in this image of Iggy Pop. His untamed, almost bestial stage presence is vividly portrayed. From the famous gig at the Scala in 1972 where he covered himself in silver glitter, cut his chest with broken glass and then vomited onstage.
2) Jim Morrison by Ethan Russell
A classic study of the leather clad lizard king himself, Jim Morrision. All the brooding drama of rock's premier poet before the drugs and booze reduced his feline beauty to a bloated Kraken.
3) Mick Jagger and Keith Richards by David Bailey
Their rivalry and also their creative closeness is intimately portrayed in this black and white study. The contrasting personalities of the Stones creative team are searingly apparent, Mick open and showbiz, Keith, troubled and in the shadows.
4) Elton John by James Fortune
Big glasses, big platforms and lots of glam! Fortune covered Elton in full flow during his first tour of the States, wowing the teeny boppers with his outrageous flamboyance. Here however is the calm after the storm as Elton recovers from a show, a brief moment of reflection in his whirlwind career.
5) Paul and Linda McCartney by Henry Diltz
Committed vegetarians Paul and Linda share an intimate moment. Taken in the garden of their opulent mansion in Surrey, the love and support each gave the other after the difficult period following the split of The Beatles, is clear to see in this striking portrait.
6) Bruce Springsteen by Ron Pownall
No collection of rock's most memorably moments would be complete without a photo of the Boss rocking the house. Bruce's reputation was built on his incendiary live shows which Pownall records in all its sweaty, exuberant glory.
All these images are featured in the new show so check this link to Maiden Gray galleries for more information. See you there!
