Famed Denver photographer Dan Fong has captured an astonishing amount of rock legends through his lens. Frequently referred to as “less a photojournalist and more of an archival artist,” Fong is a visual storyteller revealing the raw emotions of rock and roll stars through his vast and historical archives. Throughout his long friendship with concert promoter Barry Fey, Fong was often the sole phot
ographer granted all access to memorable acts like The Who and Led Zeppelin. In 1972 Fong was the only photographer permitted to shoot both Denver stops of The Rolling Stones' “STP” tour; where he captured iconic “Exile on Main Street” moments of pandemonium and decadence. Credited with numerous Doobie Brothers album covers such as “Taking it to the Streets,” Fong has a long history with rock and roll and the musicians that changed it forever.
“Fong’s photos stand as unique documents of a time in Western pop history that has since been lauded as one of the most influential in music culture.” -Josiah M. Hesse, Westword
Fortunately for the fans, Fong is delving deep into his archives and exhibiting these rare and collectable photos, many for the first time.
