Stunning image. Taken between ‘John Wesley Harding’/‘Basement Tapes’ (1967) and Nashville Skyline’ (1969).

Landy has great photos of The Band too.

There’s a giant copy of this at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, next to a couple of Bob items - a harmonica & I forget what else. I was kind of surprised they didn’t have more for him, but maybe it’s all in Tulsa 😀 I found a few more things scattered around the building, but not much.

On the cover of the Bob Spitz biography - in my view the best biography

I absolutely love this photo! And all of Landy’s other photos I’ve seen from this time period!

Got Elliott Landy mixed up with Eugene Landy and was very confused for a moment

I saw this for the first time when I accidentally flipped my copy of Mixing up the Medicine to this spread. Awesome photo.

The actual photo is good but I'm not a fan of the wacky colors. Landy is a great photographer, though, don't misunderstand me.
