In June 1978, photographer Joseph Szabo accompanied two of his high school students to a Rolling Stones concert at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Equipped with three 35mm cameras and black and white film, Szabo captured candid moments among 90,000 fans, documenting the youthful energy and communal spirit of the event. Revisiting these images decades later, he selected photographs that evoke the euphoria, freedom, and raw emotion of that iconic day.

In 1978, as the school year drew to a close, two of my high school students who had tickets to a Rolling Stones concert approached me and asked if I would like to go with them. After discussing it with my wife Nancy, who thought it was a good idea and a promising photo opportunity, I was enthusiastic to go for the experience.

My students were delighted that I'd be joining them. Besides, they needed me to drive us to Philadelphia from Long Island, New York. So off we went for whatever adventure might lay ahead. I carefully packed my three 35mm cameras and plenty of black and white film to record the event.

Recently, I was inspired to revisit the contact sheets from that day and choose images that still spoke to me after so many years. Here are some of those photographs I took on June 17th at JFK Stadium, surrounded by 90,000 Rolling Stones fans who were so open to my camera.

One footnote... Bill and Chris, my two students, are still in touch and we are good friends to this day. I am forever grateful to them for our trip to that Rolling Stones concert.

Critics praise Szabo's photography for encapsulating the joy, energy, and youthful exuberance of Rolling Stones fans in the late 1970s. Benedict Browne highlights the images' insight into carefree youth, while Vince Aletti commends the empathy and vibrancy in the shots. Edwina Langley notes the collection's depiction of a microcosm of youth culture, blending mood, movement, and music. Rebecca Bengal recognises an unconscious authenticity in Szabo's work.
