Annie Leibovitz on shooting The Rolling Stones concert at The Spectrum, 1975

The Rolling Stones at The Spectrum, June 29, 1975

Annie Leibovitz read excerpts from her new book, At Work, last night at the Free Library. She recalled with fondness the concert the Stones played at the Spectrum on June 29, 1975. She was on tour for Rolling Stone when someone told her to come out from backstage and hear the performance. They both thought it was the best show they'd heard the band play.

"When I think of Philadelphia, it seems all the best shows were there, I remember that concert well."

She told the crowd she brought her tennis racket on tour thinking she'd be able to play during the day.

"I realized after the first show I wouldn't see the light of day."

The story ran on the cover of Rolling Stone, July 17, 1975.
