“Since the mid-80's, most large venues only allow photographers to shoot during the first three songs of a concert. This is an insane policy as most performers are just warming up, but it is hard to argue with burley bouncers motioning that your time is up, as at this Miles Davis concert. At this point, Miles was in his ‘electric phase’ but unfortunately it was also his ‘back turned to the audience’ phase. With his head down, his lips barely touching his trumpet he strolled to the front of the stage just once. I got the shot just as he was the end of the third song, my time almost up.” David Corio
Since he was 16 years old, pioneering photographer David Corio has built an unparalleled six-decade music photography archive. Corio has spent almost 50 years in recording studios, backstage dressing rooms and major cultural events, documenting the 20th century’s most groundbreaking musicians.
