Another from a recent talk I did on my music image

Another from a recent talk I did on my music imagery. I used to go see my favorite bands and then ask them if I could photograph them after the show. These guys were one of the great ones letting me in their dressing room with all of my gear. This is from the blind pig in Ann Arbor from 1991, I believe. This is the Feelies. It’s the guy on the rights birthday today, Stan Demeski. Happy Birthday, Stan! #feelies #blindpig #annarbormichigan #scenesfrombillslife

Another I dug up for my talk at Crooked Tree on the 18th...
I've got a history with Patti Smith that started with this show at Masonic Temple Auditorium, Detroit in June of 1978 when I was 18 years old. A huge fan from the start, this was not only my first time seeing her perform, but what also became what I felt were my first good performance photos of an artist. My ticket was in the balcony, but suddenly she announced how she hated empty orchestra pits due to an earlier fall and that anyone who wanted could jump in and fill it up. I think I literally sprinted down and took my spot for an amazing show that I was fortunate enough to have my camera along for the ride. Thirteen years later, Patti would be my first assignment for Rolling Stone Magazine and the story continues. #pattismithgroup #billschwab #pattismith

I've been asked to do a presentation on my music related photographs and experiences on June 18th at the Crooked Tree Arts Center in Petoskey, Michigan and I've been going through boxes of transparencies and negatives from those years. Oh... the memories. Here's a really random one... I thought it would be fun to photograph the Beastie Boys and The Goats having an afternoon tea at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan. This is from 1994. #beastieboys #thegoats
