At the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young concert, pop journalist Constant Meijers and I were backstage. Neil Young, who lives in California north of San Francisco, must have driven to the gig by car, bringing his kid with him.

Gijsbert Hanekroot (Brussels, 1945) began his career in 1969 and worked for magazines and newspapers in the 1970s. His career as a photojournalist fit perfectly with the explosion of the rock scene. He masterfully documented the golden age of music history and photographed many of the greatest icons of the era. Hanekroot strove to capture images that revealed the person behind the musician. This resulted in portraits that are natural and intimate, relaxed and sincere. And in dazzling concert photographs.
