Global ImageWorks Share Sneak Peak of Exciting New Photo Collection

Michael Landskroner, a professional photographer and photo editor for Good Times Magazine, photographed hundreds of concerts in the New York City tri-state area from 1968 to 1979. A huge music fan, Landskroner photographed musicians from the photo pit, on stage and from the perspective of the audience—where he made some of his most memorable pictures. Many of his photos have never been seen before.

Notable concerts include Bruce Springsteen’s performance at the Capitol Theatre in 1974, and KISS’s legendary performance at the Beacon Theater in March 1975, where Landskroner expertly documented the energy and theatrics of the band as it was making the leap into superstardom.

Landskroner followed the same bands for years, including The Who, whom he first photographed in 1969 at the Fillmore East and continued to photograph until 1979.

His color photographs, including Labelle at the Schaefer Music Festival and Peter Frampton at Madison Square Garden, are testaments to his expertise as a color film photographer and professional color printer. 

Venues in Landskroner’s work include: the Singer Bowl, the Fillmore East, the Schaefer Music Festival at Central Park, the Bottom Line, Academy of Music, the Palladium, Calderone Concert Hall, the Capitol Theatre, Madison Square Garden, the Long Island Arena and many others.
