Interview with Jay Blakesberg (Part #2)
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the images of Jay Blakesberg are worth a thousand notes.
Initially following and photographing the melodic cosmic force that was The Grateful Dead from the late 1970s onward, Blakesberg has traveled the country and the world over, always in search of these serendipitous blink-of-an-eye encounters and interactions that define not only a scene and a generation, but also a culture and the essence of the humanity - love, compassion, rhythm.
At 58, Blakesberg has remained one of the most highly sought-after photographers in the industry for several decades, with subjects ranging from B.B. King to Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones to Dave Matthews Band, David Byrne to John Lee Hooker.
And yet, he’s still in the trenches at music festivals large and small, chasing after the “next big thing” or standing within reach of musical royalty - ready to capture the moment for all to see.

For the better part of a quarter-century, Umphrey’s McGee has remained one of the most fundamental and innovative acts on the live music scene. Originating at the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana) in 1997, the band soon called nearby Chicago, Illinois, home.

Music festival life is very fun. I sometimes wish I grew up in that scene… Jeff Austin will always be the best Mandolin player ever.
We need him in a big interview in long format. amazing actor, what a performance
The master cutting room in the back had individual phones in the chairs . High tech 1977😊
I was there when Neil and Nicolette were working on "comes a time" in 77 .I was a frequent studio rat there😊
/Mr. Thom Gimbel is one of the : GREATEST Musicians of our time!! What a Talent!!!!! His performance in URGENT with the 20TH Century Orchestra and Choir was "STELLAR"
Wow..! Thank you so much for this one. Verlon is amazing for so many reasons. I was already a fan and now have a deep respect for him. I would not have known of him if it weren't for Guy Clark, but certainly Verlon stands on his own. Verlon I hope to see you at a concert and meet you some day.
So glad to hear your positivity..✌️
❤❤❤❤
great.
Chris is such a nice and talented man.
Nice Sven
Drivin -n- Cryin !!!!!!!!!
Alot of stress to make people famous. R.I.P. Gram.
Who is Sipe's talking about?
Very interesting interview...... Great work...... Denny Laine a true artist..... The guy is 79 years old today (2022) and still writing and recording new songs along with performing songs from his Moody Blues, Wings and solo years....... No wonder he is a member of the Rock n Roll hall of Fame.....
I am so glad to call this guy my friend
Wonderful times. Thanks Adam.
No one like Gene. Never will be. Just because they wear boots and wear a cowboy hat doesn’t make them country
I agree with Art. I believe the Trumps (with the exception of Mary) are beneath scum underneath a shoe.
Amazing to hear how intelligent Ant really is. Genius human being.

I saw the Rascals when they performed in Hawaii in the late 60s. Their music brought us joy then & still 2 this day! Felix is a musical genius & his soulful voice & spirit is truly amazing. With Eddie, Gene, & Dino, we will always luv them. Keep groovin', Felix! Aloha & mahalo.

Chris is the greatest “second in command” in the music business . Very underrated. He’s only gotten better with age.
Great interview. We miss ya, Neal!
Americana wouldn't exist today, had Hillman not forced Country into Younger than Yesterday album.
Jerry Miller is a beautiful treasure...
