A treasure trove of visual reporting on the brave new psychedelic world…. Whether it's shots of Jerry Garcia and his intrepid crew playing for — and blending with — the Haight Street crowds, a be-robed Allen Ginsberg ecstatically waving to the masses at the Human Be-In, John Lennon and San Francisco Chronicle scribe Ralph J. Gleason backstage at Candlestick Park or soul brothers Brian Jones and Jimi Hendrix conferring at the Monterey Pop fairgrounds, Marshall had an uncanny knack for being at the center of the action without ever losing his perspective — or his talent…. It was a time when the world changed — and then changed again, as it always has. But Jim Marshall never blinked. His aim was true." -- SF Chronicle The late Robin Williams famously said that if you remember the Sixties, you weren't really there. It's a good thing, then, that Marshall had his camera with him. The famed rock photographer, who died in 2010, was the premier chronicler of the 1960s and 1970s music scene, particularly in San Francisco. His work in the Haight-Ashbury district at that heady time is presented here in a fantastic oversize collection. Pictures of icons Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Jim Morrison are immediately recognizable, but photos of some of the forgotten places and faces of the period are superb as well. The images are almost all black and white and are reproduced beautifully. Several fold-out pages are dedicated to certain major artists Marshall captured, including Hendrix and Joplin as well as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and the Beatles (from their final concert in 1966). Selvin ( Here Comes the Night ) adds brief but detailed essays throughout the work that complement the photographs very nicely.

There are also portraits, protests, reportage: Marshall shot it all. That''s what makes this book so great: the top-to-bottom, inside-out coverage of the entire scene.
