Monday Photo Blog: From the Vaults, Round 1
26 07 2010A lot of cool photos have been sent in to MRR over the years. While the filing system for that treasure trove of photos hasn’t always been meticulously kept (and many were returned), the Gang at Maximum has turned up some real treats lurking in the archives. Today we have some old hardcore pics, and a special bonus photo!

We don’t have any photo credits for many of these old photos. If you took the pictures without credits, or know who did, or have any information about when/where they were taken, please get in touch!
Wanna submit a photo for the MRR Photo Blog?
If you shoot shows and have photos you want to submit for the MRR Blog, send them to: photoblog {at} maximumrocknroll(.)com. Be sure to put “MRR Photo Blog” in the subject. Include your name, the band, where and when it was shot. Just send your best photos – edit tightly. Three to five photos is plenty. We will be exercising a little quality control here…not everything sent in will be posted. Please size your photos so they are 500 pixels (72 dpi) at the longest side.
There are a lot of awesome photographers out there shooting shows…and there are a lot of unseen archives of old shows. Show us what you’ve got!
I’m pretty sure the DKs pic is in front of the Moscone Center (under construction) in SF, July 1984 during the Democratic National Convention. At one point early in the show, Jello pointed out to the crowd the SS agents who were positioned on top of all of the high rises around the concert parking lot. I think they broke into Holiday in Cambodia “Now it is 1984!…” afterwards. Crowd went NUTS!
That Dead Kennedys photo is priceless!!
