Cool rock n roll photos

This legendary 1973 photo captures the glitz and decadence of glam rock at its peak: David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars' after-show party at the Café Royal in Piccadilly, London. The occasion celebrated the end of the Ziggy Stardust era—and the beginning of a new era for Bowie.
Back row, left to right: Edgar Broughton, Bianca Jagger, David Bowie, Angie Bowie, and fashion designer Ossie Clark.
Front row: Ringo Starr, Celia Hammond, Jeff Beck, Lulu, Mick Ronson, and Maureen Starkey.
This image isn't just a star-studded gathering—it's a portrait of the intersection of music, fashion, and counterculture. Ossie Clark dressed half the London scene, Angie Bowie was a muse and strategist, and Jeff Beck and Ringo Starr represented the legacy of British rock.

60 years ago Keith Richards almost died in Sacramento. one of his closest calls came at Sacramento’s Memorial Auditorium on Dec. 3 1965, when he was nearly electrocuted when playing their new release The Last Time. Richards says “my most spectacular (moment) was in Sacramento.” when he grazed the neck of his guitar against an ungrounded microphone stand. In a flash of blue sparks, Richards went down and the electrical surge fried his guitar strings. Jagger, wearing gray pants, a white button-down shirt and black vest, stood over an unconscious Richards. The curtain dropped, ending the show and sparking chaos and confusion in the arena. local Bluesman Mick Martin attended the concert and recounted the scene “I was right there in the front row, in front of Keith, I saw the blue light. I literally saw Keith fly into the air backward. I thought he was dead. I was horrified, e all were, silence fell over the crowd.” Martin said he rushed outside to catch a glimpse of Richards, to see if he was alive. “They carried him out with oxygen tubes, and he was semiconscious, I patted him on the shoulders and said, ‘I hope you’re going to be OK.’“ a physician suggested the rubber soles of Richards’ brand new Hush Puppies boots saved the musician’s life. Richards had just purchased those shoes in Sacramento and the Stones took the stage the next night in San Jose.
on a personal note, this was the same venue where I saw Humble Pie blow the roof off the joint in '72.

Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen was actually fronted by George Frayne, who took the nickname Commander Cody. The name of his backing band, The Lost Planet Airmen, was also the name of an obscure sci-fi film from the 1950s.
They were a lesser known group that was originally formed in Detroit, but the members subsequently moved to San Francisco, where they spent their time and energy playing tongue in cheek country music. Their cover version of the country hit Hot Rod Lincoln reached the Top 10 in 1972.
Frayne’s brother, Chris Frayne, was also a graphic artist based in San Francisco, and who worked on the album covers of several Commander Cody albums.

One of my favorites from them was "Too Much Fun". "Seeds and Stems Blues" was a hoot. Their saxophonist ended up playing with the Saturday Night Live band.
