The Lost Beatles Photographs: The Bob Bonis Archive, 1964-1966
From the largest single trove of such important unknown rock photographs ever uncovered, comes a collection of never-before-seen photographs of The Beatles as they toured America for the first time in the 1960s
These behind-the-scenes, intimate, and unguarded shots have been unearthed after spending 45 years in a duffel bag of The Beatles and Rolling Stone’s former tour manager, Bob Bonis. Bonis was the US tour manager for The Beatles’ first tour in the States from 1964-1966. Hanging out on stage, backstage, at work, and at play with one of the most influential bands ever, Bonis took some 3,500 photographs at a critical point in the creative development of The Beatles. The photos show these legends in candid, intimate shots on stage, in rehearsal, in concert, backstage (tuning up, waiting to go on stage and clowning around), dressing and relaxing, on vacations or en route to shows or cities, getting haircuts, bowling, recording in the studio, at press events, and just hanging around being themselves. This collection captured a pivotal time in the bands’ career. A groundbreaking, amazingly candid look at some of the 20th century’s biggest icons during their first moments on the world stage.
