00:03F*** all the words man, look at my work
00:06Look at my track record over 20 years of taking pictures
00:10Look at my body of work
00:12Think it works?
00:18Jim Marshall
00:18Who's Jim Marshall?
00:20Where do you start?
00:23Jim was the man
00:26Jim was nuts
00:28He was like a rock star
00:31My father had an abrasive exterior
00:33But had a great big warm heart underneath it
00:36Jim Marshall was exactly the same way
00:39You do not want to be on the wrong side of Jim Marshall
00:45I've always liked cars, guns and cameras
00:48Cars and guns have got me in trouble
00:51Cameras haven't
00:56Marshall started out shooting zeitgeist of the 60s
00:59At the height of the beatnik era
01:01John Coltrane asked me, how do you get to Berkeley?
01:04And so I said, I'll drive you
01:05And I shot pictures at the interview
01:07And they're beautiful
01:08He captured the serenity of the guy
01:10And the depth and the intensity
01:13Miles, he goes, why don't you ever take pictures of me like that?
01:16I go, why don't you let me?
01:20He's so important to an era where a lot was changing socially, artistically
01:26They had to respect him to let them that close
01:28The Hendrix pictures from the sound check
01:30Jim is standing face to face with this guy
01:33Those photos are indelible
01:35His pictures are a personification of the incredible depth of feeling that musicians had
01:45An artist lets you into their life
01:48And I feel to violate that trust is criminal
01:53Doing sound check, I said, Johnny, let's do a shot for the warden
01:56And he goes, yeah
01:59Jim pushed every boundary
02:01It was rock and roll, man
02:04The 72 tour, I probably did more coke than they did
02:10Stuff that Jim got, you'll never see that again
02:17You know, I couldn't ask for a better life
02:21It was nuts
02:26I've got the actual fellas
02:29Ha ha ha
