In 1964, fifteen-year-old Mike Frankel found himself among professional photojournalists
covering a Beatles concert during the band’s first tour of the United States. A few years later, he was a regular photographer at the Fillmore East,
a storied venue in classic rock. And in 1969, he was onstage at Woodstock, with Jefferson Airplane, documenting one of the most important events
in American music history. Featuring Frankel’s stunning photographs of nearly every major
rock figure from the 1960s and early ’70s, including Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd,Janis Joplin, and the Grateful Dead, as well as many unpublished images of the Beatles, “Hurricanes of Color”chronicles an extraordinary moment. Frankel, developed an innovative style; one that layered images with multiple exposures and captured vividly, the spirit of the music of the era, this book is a must-have for fans of classic rock, this is a spectacular and profound collection of photography.

Reviews of "Hurricanes of Color"
“Mike Frankel’s keen eye manages to capture the essence of rock ’n roll in all its sexually charged, mysterious, and hallucinatory intensity. His images are unsparing and authentic.”—Bob Spitz, best-selling author of The Beatles and Led Zeppelin
_____________________________
“Some of the top rockers of the 1960s and early 1970s, photographed with boldly adventurous techniques reflecting the most exhilarating innovations of the era.”—Richie Unterberger, author of Won’t Get Fooled Again: The Who from “Lifehouse” to “Quadrophenia”
_____________________________
“It’s old news that the 1960s and ’70s were an explosive and revolutionary cultural period—especially in music—but those words say way too little. Rarely has the phrase ‘you had to be there’ been more apt, and most literary and photographic attempts to illustrate the excitement and heady thrill of the new bands and other sea changes in flux fall short. In Hurricanes of Color, though, Mike Frankel succeeds in evoking the transcendence, wild creativity, and sheer joy that permeated so much of the era and radiated through the musicians and their performances. I know because I was there, and I am so honored to be included in this stunning book.”—Sally Mann Romano, author of The Band’s with Me: TOUR 1964-1975
