December 6, 1969 is well known in the world of rock ‘n’ roll as the date of the infamous Altamont concert in California headlined by The Rolling Stones. There were several other bands that performed that day. One of them was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. What we never realized was after Altamont, CSNY flew to Los Angeles and played again that night at the Pauley Pavilion.

A young teenaged Joel Axelrad was there with his camera and captured these wonderful photographs of this early CSNY concert. These photographs have never been seen before and we are thrilled at Retro Photo Archive to now be the caretaker of Joel’s photography ❣️
