SynopsisStunning images of some of the greatest musicians from rock 'n' roll history, including both onstage action and behind-the-scenes candids., Photographer Fred Case was on the scene in the Twin Cities during the 1970s whenever the top rock and blues musicians came through town. With his camera in hand, Case photographed such legends as Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, John Mayall, Leon Russell, Richie Havens, the Who, Steppenwolf, the Grateful Dead, Small Faces, Elton John, Linda Ronstadt, Captain Beefheart, Alice Cooper, Elvis Costello, Miles Davis, and the Rolling Stones. His images capture the stars in action onstage at storied Minneapolis venues ranging from the Guthrie to the Depot (First Avenue), the Labor Temple to Jay's Longhorn, the Minneapolis Auditorium to Parade Stadium. The photographer also hung out with many of the musicians and took behind-the-scenes snapshots of backstage antics. Case's own wild adventures chasing his music heroes, beginning in his teenage years, led to many fascinating--and some questionable--experiences. In When the Stones Came to Town , Case recollects witnessing, photographing, and occasionally getting to know these music icons and gives readers an up-close-and-personal look at the rock 'n' roll lifestyle. These photos, many of them never seen before in print, highlight the vibrant music scene of the Twin Cities during this pivotal era., Photographer Fred Case was on the scene in the Twin Cities during the 1970s whenever the top rock and blues musicians came through town.

Poor photos, few details.
The source of the story apparently doesn't remember very many details, which would have made it much better. He's an admitted drug users. Most of the photos were not very good quality, either.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
