Roundhouse, March ’71 – No ticket. No pass. Just a camera and a lot of front.

This is one of the iconic shots he walked away with that night 🙌

"To me, Exile On Main St. was probably the best Rolling Stones album as far as the connection between the band members. We were coming up with song ideas like crazy. And the ideas were catching on. Everybody was going flat-out." - Keith Richards
