Found this, which looks like the crowd at Wimbledon. Can't even work out if it's real or not (or if that's Elton or Sylvester McCoy).https://40.media.tumblr.com/e22d12d96328142d5ccc5857bbf09bd3/tumblr_nch3t0b6HT1sixwgco1_500.jpg

Yeah that's the one picture that seems to exist; and that link and a couple others made it sound like Bowie thought Elton was ripping him off and talked shit about him. I had never realized this.
― joygoat, Monday, 5 January 2015 09:13 (nine years ago) link
It hadn't occurred to me either. That Wimbledon pic looks like the organisers have them on a careful seating plan tbh.
― Madchen, Monday, 5 January 2015 09:35 (nine years ago) link
George Michael's in there as well.

people you fully expected to appear in a photo together at some point but never have?
I would totally expect to see a photo of Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen together but I can't find one. Same goes for Lou Reed with Jim Morrison (who apparently met at early Velvets shows in LA).

Looking at that pic closely it's clear that it was actually taken at Live Aid. You can see the logo on the laminate that the guy in the middle is wearing (who is he?). And is that Bryan Adams in the left foreground?

The fellow in the middle looks a bit like John Reid, Elton's manager. But probably isn't.
Is there something strange about the way Princess Diana looks in that shot? Something odd about the focus or the light? It looks like a cut and paste job but I can't work out why.
― Tim, Monday, 5 January 2015 10:52 (nine years ago) link
Looks legit to me.
― you've got no fans you've got no ground (anagram), Monday, 5 January 2015 11:10 (nine years ago) link
i think laminate dude *is john reid, but i don't think that's bryan adams
― Rallsballs@onelist.com (stevie), Monday, 5 January 2015 14:24 (nine years ago) link
A little GIS-ing reveals that it's actually Jim Beach, Queen's manager.
― you've got no fans you've got no ground (anagram), Monday, 5 January 2015 14:39 (nine years ago) link
gah, right! i knew i recognised him as some kind of mid-80s megabucks manager.

Being able to see the white under someone's iris ilike that is always weird.

I'm pretty sure I'd recognize Alexander Siddig and Wil Wheaton, no way are those other guys them!

I'm with Tuomas on this, I don't recognize the other guys. Wil Wheaton has a beard.

Ah, I was gonna say it's Cameron, but then I thought he would have an aide or someone to take care of the baby, so I wasn't so sure... Not familiar with the other two names, I guess they're UK celebrities?

apparently finds E-40 far more entertaining than Fresh Prince, or maybe the years have just softened his stance on hip-hop

Don't feel bad, sic, I didn't know who E-40 was.

This has been making the rounds on FB today...not "Unexpected" as this was backstage at Bowie's 50th Birthday Concert, but volume man, volume. (Also, if we need to kick off a 'Dave Grohl + Weirdos' thread, here's the place to start.)

I like how the then-Gordon-Moore's got Coco into the picture.

Is that what it looked like backstage at MSG at that concert? I thought all these people would have contract riders specifying tibetan wall paintings, elegant furniture, fine wines, fresh flowers in abundance etc.

It's the Uncle from the Fresh Prince and Michelle Obama.

I would totally expect to see Alice and Lennon together, if i remember correctly they were pretty tight
Then again based on this thread, i dont know if Cooper is eligible because it wouldnt surprise me to see him in a picture with Ghandi at this point.
