Michael Goldberg (that’s me) will be talking about being a music photographer, a rock journalist, his new book “Jukebox: Photographs 1967 – 2024” and showing photos from the book at Book Passage in Corte Madera (that’s in Marin) on Saturday August 24 beginning at 4 PM. Book Passage is located at 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera, Ca.

I spent over a year and a half putting the book together, drawing from 1000s of photographs of musicians I’ve taken over the years. The book begins with the first photograph I took of a musician, of Jim Morrison leading The Doors on Mount Tamalpias at the Mountain Theater in late June of 1967. The Doors headlined the first day of the two-day KFRC Magic Mountain Fantasy Fair and Music Festival, the first U.S. rock music festival. A week later the Monterey Pop Festival was held.

There are photos of Phil Lesh, Sam Andrew of Big Brother and the Holding Company, Janis Joplin and Peter Kraemer of the Sopwith Camel, also taken in 1967. There are also photos I took when I was 17 of Jerry Garcia at his home in Larkspur, as well as photos of members of the Grateful Dead performing in Marin.

At Book Passage I’ll show photos and talk about many other musicians, probably including Toots and the Maytals, Professor Longhair, the Flaming Groovies, Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, Captain Beefheart, Neil Young, Alice Cooper, Michael Bloomfield and others.

Hope to see you at Book Passage, where the book is currently available for purchase. Or you can order it direct from the publisher , HoZac Records and Books.
