327: Jim Marshall's Beatles with Amelia Davis

About this episode

The episode features a discussion with Amelia Davis about Jim Marshall's iconic photography of The Beatles and his legacy.

Jim Marshall remains one of the most esteemed photographers of the rock era, with iconic images of all the greats to his credit, as well as legends of jazz and some remarkable street photography. He was the subject of the 2019 documentary, Show Me The Picture: The Jim Marshall Story, and his work continues to be familiar to plenty of people who weren't around at the time these photos were new. His documentation of The Beatles' final concert, at Candlestick Park in San Francisco sixty years ago, depicted the band both onstage and backstage. He was there at their request, because they trusted him to capture the moment like an insider. Marshall's art caught the group during their final moments of one era, poised to set off into an unknown future where greater triumphs awaited. Amelia Davis worked alongside Marshall and manages his legacy today. In The Beatles by Jim Marshall: Live at Candlestick Park 1966, she has curated a collection showing not only that last show but other captivating work by Marshall, demonstrating why he was so esteemed by the band and why his work maintains the power to inspire today.
