Hi all, as you may know, I'm working on a book collecting my interviews with Bob Dylan band members. And I need photos of those musicians!
But I can only use them with the photographer or rights-holder's permission, plus of course I want to properly credit everyone, so I'm looking for any help finding people who might have shot concerts these people played at – whether they were professional photographers or someone (you?) holding up an iPhone or digital camera at a Dylan show.
See the musicians’ names below. I've split them up between proper band members who would have been onstage at many Dylan concerts, followed by guests and such who would have just been onstage once or twice. I've listed them in chronological order and noted the tours they would have performed on.
Any help would be really appreciated. If you know anyone who might have shots with any of these people in them onstage during their time with Bob, please send them this link. My email address is rfpadgett@gmail.com.
