Musicians I Have Seen: 1970s and on, Part I

Text and Photos (c) Robert Barry Francos

Here are some musicians I have seen at various gigs in the '70s. I used a Mamiya Sekor 500 with no flash that my father gave me in 1977 for my birthday so I could take pictures for my zine, FFanzeen. Most of these are low rez scans. A few showed up in a few books, such as Brian Cogan's The Encyclopaedia of Punk Rock and Culture, Joe Bonomo's AC/DC Highway to Hell (part of the 33-1/3 series), and Phil Sutcliffe's AC/DC: High-Voltage Rock ‘N’ Roll: The Ultimate Illustrated History.
