Cool Hawaiian Shirt

OK, Sanne2 (our resident archivist) or anyone who wants to play...

Can you find me another version of this photo shoot? I love John's cool Hawaiian shirt. What era would you say this comes from?

It's either Tusk or Mirage. Sanne will know for sure. Thanks for posting. Never seen this before!

It looks Tusk to me.
Between Stevies hair, and Lindseys style, Id say im 90% sure Tusk

I must admit that this shot always amazes me; Christine is giving some extreme toe!

Thanks for being a good sport and playing along.

Curiosity Question:

What is in this picture? It looks like King Kong's Hand grabbing the top of the Empire State Building.

I think it's just goofball Tusk graphics. Do you have the vinyl album or the songbook? There are some shots of Lindsey & Mick pooping about (Mick's beard is shaven so it's 1978) in front of the Village Recorder, in the parking lot maybe. The outside of the studio seems to have (or have had) some sort of big billboard or something with the picture of the freeway overpass (I-5 & Antelope Valley Fwy) that crumbled in the 1971 Sylmar (San Fernando) earthquake.

Also, John was pretty hep to his Hawaiian shirts in the old days. He wore a Hawaiian shirt at the final concerts on the Tusk tour. You should be able to track down shots of him at those concerts with his pineapples & palm trees on his shirt, cavorting with Stevie & Lindsey, holding his bass, fingering it deftly, up & down, up & down the fret board, pluck pluck pluck, cluck cluck.

This was definately a "picture" mural on the side of the Village Recorder studio. You can see it in the Tusk Tour Documentary videotape. However I always viewed this as a grand piano cut in half, showing us the inside of the instrument. Makes sense to me considering it's on the side of a building that houses a recording studio!

Betsy · #11 04-02-2008, 12:52 PM

Can any of you show me what the original picture looks like?
Sanne2 - do you have this picture?

(God only knows where the TUSK documentary DVD is.)

Sanne2 · #12 04-02-2008, 03:27 PM

It's actually from the Tusk tourbook, it's on one of the collage pages. I can't scan it right now but the pic with the hand is just a smaller photo of Mick and Lindsey with someone holding his hand in front of the lens.

Betsy · #13 04-02-2008, 04:46 PM

Thanks. I will look in my Tusk Tourbook tonight..fresh off of an Ebay auction, and the cigarette smoke didn't cost me extra!

New installment. I call this one Billy the Kid, because Mick (with his red kerchief and style of hat) reminds me of Billy the Kid.

Sanne -- got any photos from this shoot?
Would you say that this is from the White Album era?

FYI ---- Billy-the-Kid

Yes, this is one of the early photo sessions soon after Lindsey & Stevie joined.

Here's a tip for future that will be true 95 percent of the time for all pre-1980 photos: If Mick is clean shaven & Lindsey is not, it's 1975. If both Mick & Lindsey are clean shaven, it's 1978.
