About the Book

For 40 years, Bob Gruen's name has been synonymous with rock and roll. From taking early photos on tour with Ike and Tina Turner, to capturing the early CBGB/Max's Kansas City scene to covering current stadium rockers such as Green Day, Gruen has always been at the right place at the right time--and he's always gotten the shot. In this lavish monograph, Gruen has curated his favorite photographs from his career, with intimate captions and behind-the-scenes anecdotes. Featuring such illustrious acts as the Clash, Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, Sex Pistols, Ramones, and more, and including an introduction by the legendary Debbie Harry of Blondie, this collection is a must-have for all fans of rock and roll.

--USA Today

"Go backstage with 40 years' worth of rock-and-roll images from the legendary lens of Bob Gruen, who was once John Lennon's personal photographer. From over-the-top action shots of Elton John's acrobatics to private pics of Lennon and Yoko in bed with baby Sean to boozy plane rides with the Sex Pistols, the glossy pages act as your VIP pass to the rock-star lifestyle you've dreamed of."


--Marie Claire

"It all came flooding back when I opened Bob Gruen's beautiful new book, Rock Seen, a sparkling collage of live concert shots and portraits from the last forty years."
