Ringo Starr at the Isle of Wight Festival // Jeffrey Mayer

After seeing The Beatles at Shea Stadium in the summer of 1965, Jeffrey Mayer began his longtime career in photography. For over 50 years, he has gone on to document the emerging rock scene and the recording artists who would eventually become immortal. This collection of photography prints feature selected works from Mayer's 2019 solo exhibition titled All Access: An Insider's View of The Rock Revolution. The photos in this collection have never been printed, and most have not been seen since they ran in rock magazines decades ago.

Ringo photographed in the audience while watching Bob Dylan perform at the Isle of Wight Festival in 1969. This was Dylan’s first concert after three years of semi-retirement and Ringo, John and George showed up to support his return to the stage. Mayer was shooting Dylan when he turned to see three of the Beatles sitting in the audience.
