Right Place, Right Time is an action-packed memoir that takes readers front row, backstage, and on the road with rock and roll's hardest-working photographer.
Bob's got the ultimate backstage pass. Can you imagine the stories he's got? --Alice Cooper
Bob catches those explosive, signature moments that every photographer hopes to get. --Debbie Harry
Bob Gruen is one of the most celebrated photographers in rock and roll history. From John Lennon to Johnny Rotten, Muddy Waters to the Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley to Madonna, Bob Dylan to Bob Marley, Tina Turner to Debbie Harry, he's documented the music scene for more than fifty years through iconic photographs that have become part of popular culture.
Right Place, Right Time is Gruen's personal journey, from discovering a love of photography in his mother's darkroom at age five through the rock revolution of the 1960s, the New York punk scene of the 1970s, and decades spent photographing some of the world's most influential musicians.
Filled with unforgettable stories, rare images, backstage access, and firsthand accounts of music history, this rock memoir offers readers a front-row seat to the artists, concerts, and cultural moments that shaped generations.
Bob is the guy behind the camera who you actually like! He brings out your best cool. --Iggy Pop
