Concert Photography by Vernon L. Gowdy III
Vernon specialized in concert photography from 1976 to 1986. Vernon became a staff photographer for The Oklahoma Daily for two years then was staff photographer and Publisher of JAM The Music Magazine for five years. Vernon's first backstage pass to a major rock and roll concert was the Texxas JAM in July 1978. During this period he traveled to Los Angeles to photograph Pink Floyd "The Wall" concert, St. Louis for Fleetwood Mac; Dallas, Texas and the entire state of Oklahoma for most of the major concerts that came to town. See first camera bag and collection of passes. Below are some of his best concert photos from this period. See collage that was on office wall.
