Diack took two photos of the mod Stones backstage, who were waiting around for a birthday cake. (Mick’s birthday was a week later.)
“I went backstage and they lined up in a row,” said Diack, 90. “I thought I could get an interesting picture of them blowing the candles out and stuff like that, but it didn’t materialize, (Mick) just stood there holding the cake. Everybody looked grim.”
Diack says he took a shot of Mick with a cake that eventually ran in the newspaper. But the negative isn’t in the folder, so it’s lost.
There aren’t a lot of onstage shots from either show. Diack said the police inspector at the concert didn’t want photographers to use their flash too much, because he feared “all these flashes going off could be exciting the crowd.”
In any event, when the fans started going nuts, Diack and Oakes pointed their cameras toward the crowd. Diack took an amazing shot of security bracing against fans that seem to be on the verge of overwhelming them.
