It is impossible to predict when the Rolling Stones will play the Bay Area for the last time. But what is known for sure is when the band played here the first time. It was May 14, 1965, and the omnipresent photographer Jim Marshall was there with his Leica, standing at the back of the stage — where he liked to be — as the band played the San Francisco Civic Auditorium.
Among Jim Marshall's most celebrated images are those of Johnny Cash's San Quentin and Folsom prison concerts, which achieved historic status.
