GALLERY: Classic Rock of the 1970s

Photography by Jon Newmark

Jon Newmark grew up Applewood, Colorado, and began shooting Denver-area rock concerts in early 1974. Thanks to a job at the ticket outlet Budget Tapes & Records, he photographed the classic rock bands of the day from the first few rows until security crackdowns required a photo pass to get a camera through the door. Newmark shifted his focus to landscape photography and has resided in Washington State since 1991. He has released a sampler of his favorite images exclusively for Colorado Music Experience.
