Griffith Park July 28 1968

[Dan Shannon]

Hi. I have recently un-earthed some pictures of the JEFFERSON AIRPLANE doing a free concert at Griffth Park on July 28 1968. I was living in Sierra Madre Canyon at the time. It was on a Monday after their show in San Diego. David Crosby and Graham Nash are behind the amps and there are several nice photos of Grace. One of my favorites is the one of Grace and Paul. I'm sure that the viewers of the website would enjoy looking at these pictures.
I have always enjoyed rock and roll photography. I was with the bands Spirit and Jo Jo Gunne as a manager and crew member. We toured with a lot of other groups and I had some great photo opportunities. Recently, Rhino Records used a picture I took for the cover of The Faces 4 CD set 'Five Guys Walk Into a Bar' taken at a gig we did with them in 1973 at Madison Square Gardens.
I would like to share these pictures of Jefferson Airplane so I have sent in about ten of the best ones from that day. I hope you can forward some of them to the appropriate people and maybe someday show them on your website..
* if anyone is interested in prints from the original negatives, let me know.
Thanks!! Dan Shannon danshannon22@hotmail.com

Psychy. Thanks for responding!! I had lost those pictures for thirty years and all of a sudden they appeared. I'm glad to be able to share them. I see that my pictures caused a re-structuring of your scrapbook page. Now it might encourage others to submit their pictures and stories. I personally like the picture of you and Paul. If there are any photos you want, let me know and I will be happy to send them.
Regards, Dan Shannon

Hi Jon. THANK YOU for getting those photos onto the website to share with our friends. I had a box of film that had never been proofed an there they were. Along with the JA photos were also some pictures of Janis and Country Joe playing at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. As I reviously said, I was with Spririt. We almost did Woodstock, but management didn't think it was a good idea??! I also saw that my photos caused the scrapbook page to be re-done so as to encourage others to submit their pictures.
Regards, Dan
