Episode 20

In 1974 at the age of 15, Bob Minkin brought his camera to a New Riders of the Purple Sage show at the Academy of Music in NYC and never looked back. As Senior Photographer for Relix magazine from the 1970s to 1990s, and later, Chief Package Designer for Grateful Dead Productions, Bob has enjoyed unique access to the Grateful Dead world. He has photographed thousands of concerts and countless musical artists with emphasis on the punk world, and the blues genre and continues to document the jam band scene in clubs and arenas across the USA and Europe. His photos have been featured in many books and publications including Rolling Stone, Time Magazine, Guitar Player, and Relix as well as movies such as Long Strange Trip and The Other One. His images also grace many music CD and DVD packages. His fifth coffee-table book, Just Phil will be released in May 2024. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY,  Bob lives with his family in Marin County, CA.
