Dave Seabury is a friend of mine and he indeed did an incredible job both in the care and presentation of the photos and of sleuthing out the original photographer. And as this story illustrates, the journey is the reward. Dave's adventure had him crossing paths with so many people in SF's music, art, and journalism world.

Our band (Dave and mine) performed the Beatles' Candlestick set on the opening night of the photo show in SF. Lots of fun and good vibes.

Thanks for posting this.


Good on him. When I first saw the title I was hoping they were found in Scotland when they were The Silver Beatles. I thought I might have finally got to see my grandfather (Tommy Moore) in action on the drums.

Doubt I'll ever see that.


Great story telling by Ben Marks - a great read...thanks for posting!


From the comments:

"I can’t believe that was the same guy from the 1965 Dylan press conference! I remember watching that guy ask that question, and how intently he stared at Bob, and thinking about the demands and burdens some of his fans put on him…. Amazing story behind it all!"

Small, small world.
