DEAD ON THE STEPS, SAN FRANCISCO, 1967 LINER NOTES My first story for Rolling Stone was the Grateful Dead bust. The cops came into the band's house and arrested several of them. The entire band wasn't at home at the time so the cops couldn't bust them all or they would have. And that bust was one of the lead stories in the first issue of Rolling Stone. After the press conference Jann [Wenner, co-founder Rolling Stone] asked me to get a group shot of the band on the steps of their house. I suggested they pose for me outside. They asked me, "Who are you?" I said, "I'm Baron from Rolling Stone." They replied, "What's Rolling Stone." The band members didn't know what Rolling Stone was (the first issue had yet to be published) so it was really hard to get them to cooperate; at that point I think most of them didn't even knew who I was. When they came out, they wouldn't settle down, pointed their guns this way and that, flipped me the bird, threatened to kill me. It was all great fun for them but at the moment not for me. In the end I did get one great shot. I call it "Dead On The Steps". And so ended my first real assignment for Rolling Stone. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Nikon F camera, 35mm format, Tri-X film SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Silver gelatin print.

JERRY GARCIA, THE GRATEFUL DEAD, SAN FRANCISCO, 1969 LINER NOTES Jerry Garcia, on the other hand, was as outgoing as could be; he was having a great time. You can see from the pictures he enjoyed the experience. What subsequently turned out to be the most intriguing moment, however, came when Jerry smiled and held up his open right hand, and I shot the picture I now call "Jerry Waving". I didn't think anything of it when I clicked the shutter but when I printed it I kept trying to do with my finger what he had apparently done with his finger; I thought he had just been fooling around, bending his finger backwards or forwards or something, but I couldn't make it happen on my hand. It was a long time before I learned that his brother had actually chopped off a piece of his finger when they both were quite young. Jerry usually kept that missing digit out of sight. Most people, even his fans, didn't know about it and here he was, holding it up for the world to see and for me to photograph. I remember that moment as another photographic gift, this time from Jerry Garcia to me. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Hasselblad and Tri-X film SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Silver gelatin print.

JIMI HENDRIX, SAN FRANCISCO, 1968 LINER NOTES Jimi Hendrix was one of my absolute favorite photographic subjects; he dressed well all the time. Even when he was at rest, between his clothes and his looks, he was photogenic. When Jimi was on a stage he was such an incredible performer. The genius of his musicianship aside, he just looked so good on the stage - his facial expressions, the way he would cross his arms to play, he'd play behind his back, he'd play with his teeth, he'd make love to his guitar. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Nikon F camera, 35mm format, Tri-X film SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Silver gelatin print.

JANIS JOPLIN, SAN FRANCISCO, 1967 LINER NOTES One question that is continually repeated is, "Hey, can I talk to you privately, tell me - it won't go any further, just for me- did you sleep with Janis Joplin, just tell me, did you sleep with Janis Joplin?" And I always answer, "Well what do you think?" I either say it like this - "What do you think?" or "What do you think?" And they say, "Oh, man, thank you, thanks, I appreciate that, it means a lot to me." I let them use their imagination; I never say anything more, never go beyond that response! Never did and never will. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Hasselblad and Ektachrome film. SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Archival digital print. VALUE $900 - $1,150 STARTING BID $700

FRANK ZAPPA, LAUREL CANYON, LOS ANGELES, 1968 LINER NOTES I was worried about going to photograph Frank Zappa. I knew his reputation as a creative eccentric and I was like, "Oh shit how am I going to deal with this?" Because I didn't even know his music; I mean, of course, I was familiar with his music, he was brilliant. But only if you really knew music could you understand that brilliance; for the most part it wasn't listenable, at least to my ears. Besides, there was nothing I could say to Frank Zappa that would in any way make me intellectual equal. I knew I could take great pictures but I knew that I couldn't keep up with his mind. We got up there and I said to writer [Jerry] Hopkins, "You do the interview first then I'll do the pictures," but Zappa wanted to do the pictures right away so he and I went out behind his house and found all these bizarre photographic situations that were both wacky and fantastic. I didn't have to say or direct anything; he just started fooling around because he was having such a great time being Frank; Frank being Frank - performing for me and my camera without direction. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Nikon F camera, 35mm format, Tri-X film SIZE 16" x 20" MEDIUM Archival digital print.

MICK JAGGER,THE SET OF PERFORMANCE, LONDON, 1968 LINER NOTES I love the classic Polaroid camera Mick is holding and Anita Pallenberg was gorgeous. The relationships were all a little complex; Anita was Keith's girlfriend who had been with Brian Jones before and was now in a movie doing love scenes with Mick! Without realizing at the time what a big deal it was, not only was I in "swinging" London but I had photographed The Who, a Beatle and a Rolling Stone. Not bad for a few days work. - Baron Wolman SPECIFICS Nikon F camera, 35mm format, Tri-X film SIZE 20" x 24" MEDIUM Silver gelatin print. VALUE $1,300 - $1,700 STARTING BID $1,000
