DESCRIPTION:
Gift Card said Purchase this book, it's a collectors item filled with hundreds of great candid photos of musical legends. Bought this book as an extra Bday gift for my hubby, but not before thumbing through it first. Great purchase and great price point too. Mike captures his world through several decades with what looks to be the same trusted polaroid camera. Who doesn't love a guy who is comfortable and funny enough to cross dress for a photo? I cracked up! The photos brought out several emotions white thumbing through the pages of the many legends we ha. "Five Stars" according to N. Jenkins. I love this book! Great pictures and fun concept. Great! Michelle Pino Love seeing all these photos.
"One shot at a time, McCready has captured everything from Pearl Jam’s increasingly bigger crowds to his ever-changing hair color and growing family… But the photos also allowed a certain intimacy… and are artful, like the silhouette of McCready raising the 12th Man flag atop the Space Needle. There’s a double-shot of McCready’s daughter, Kaia, that could be hung in a museum.” –The Seattle Times. The Duomo di Milano and Stonehenge
Mike McCready is the lead guitarist for, and one of the founding members of, rock band Pearl Jam. When not performing live, McCready scores TV and film projects which have included The Glamour & the Squalor, Shameless, Fat Kid Rules the World,
Also: he once rocked a fab grey shift. And fewer still have had an insider, much less a member, obsessively capture onstage and offhand pics of the experience—the friends, family, and fans and one very famous plastic toy. With some wattage. And true to form for one not taking things too seriously, Mike sometimes had his pal, Mr. Potato Head, pop in and share in the fun.As wonderfully intimate as group “selfies” with the likes of Neil Young, Questlove, Jimmy Page, Ann and Nancy Wilson, Joey Ramone
